There is a pressing need to identify more effective antiretroviral drugs for HIV-2 treatment. Here, we show that the investigational compound MK-8591 (4'-ethynyl-2-fluoro-2'-deoxyadenosine [EFdA]) is highly active against group A and B isolates of HIV-2; 50% effective concentrations [EC] for HIV-2 were, on average, 4.8-fold lower than those observed for HIV-1. MK-8591 also retains potent activity against multinucleoside-resistant HIV-2 mutants (EC ≤ 11 nM). These data suggest that MK-8591 may have antiviral activity in HIV-2-infected individuals.
迫切需要鉴定出更有效的抗逆转录病毒药物用于治疗HIV-2感染。在此,我们表明研究性化合物MK-8591(4'-乙炔基-2-氟-2'-脱氧腺苷[EFdA])对HIV-2的A组和B组分离株具有高活性;HIV-2的50%有效浓度[EC]平均比HIV-1低4.8倍。MK-8591对多核苷耐药的HIV-2突变体也保持强效活性(EC≤11 nM)。这些数据表明MK-8591可能对HIV-2感染个体具有抗病毒活性。
