    Abstract We report a patient with hemophilia A who underwent partial splenic embolization (PSE) for severe thrombocytopenia secondary to portal hypertension-induced splenomegaly, resulting in a stable long-term quality of life. The patient was diagnosed with hemophilia A and unfortunately contracted human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) from blood products. He subsequently developed progressive splenomegaly due to portal hypertension from chronic HCV, resulting in severe thrombocytopenia. PSE was performed because he had occasional subcutaneous bleeding and needed to start interferon (IFN) and ribavirin (RBV) treatment for curing his HCV infection at that time. His platelet counts increased, and no serious adverse events were observed. Currently, he continues to receive outpatient treatment, regular factor VIII (FVIII) replacement therapy for hemophilia A, and antiretroviral therapy for HIV infection. Vascular embolization has been reported to be an effective and minimally invasive treatment for bleeding in hemophilia patients. PSE also provided him with a stable quality of life without the side effects of serious infections and thrombocytopenia relapses. We conclude that PSE is a promising therapeutic option for patients with hemophilia A.

    Abstract Raltegravir (RAL), a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 integrase inhibitor, has been administered as part of antiretroviral therapy. Studies in patients with HIV-1 have shown high variability in the pharmacokinetics of RAL, and in healthy volunteers, coadministration of proton-pump inhibitors has been shown to increase the plasma RAL concentrations. Here, we found that RAL containing a 1,3,4-oxadiazole ring is converted to a hydrolysis product (H-RAL) with a cleaved 1,3,4-oxadiazole ring at pH 1.0 and 13.0 conditions in vitro, thereby reducing the anti-HIV activity of the drug. The inclusion of cyclodextrins (beta-cyclodextrin [βCD], random methyl-βCD [RAM-βCD], and hydroxypropyl-βCD [HP-βCD]) can protect RAL from pH-induced changes. The conversion of RAL to H-RAL was detected by using various mass spectrometry analyses. The chromatogram of H-RAL increased in a time-dependent manner similar to another 1,3,4-oxadiazole-containing drug, zibotentan, using high-performance liquid chromatography. Oral bioavailability and target protein interactions of H-RAL were predicted to be lower than those of RAL. Moreover, H-RAL exhibited significantly reduced anti-HIV-1 activity, whereas combinations with βCD, RAM-βCD, and HP-βCD attenuated this effect in cell-based assays. These findings suggest that βCDs can potentially protect against the conversion of RAL to H-RAL under acidic conditions in the stomach, thereby preserving the anti-HIV-1 effect of RAL. Although clinical trials are needed for evaluation, we anticipate that protective devices such as βCDs may improve the pharmacokinetics of RAL, leading to better treatment outcomes, including reduced dosing, long-term anti-HIV-1 activity, and deeper HIV-1 suppression.

    Abstract Background: Optimal cefepime dosing is a challenge because of its dose-dependent neurotoxicity. This study aimed to determine individualized cefepime dosing for febrile neutropenia in patients with lymphoma or multiple myeloma.
    Methods: This prospective study enrolled 16 patients receiving cefepime at a dose of 2 g every 12 hours. Unbound concentrations were determined at 0.5 hours, 7.2 hours [at the 60% time point of the 12 hours administration interval (C7.2h)], and 11 hours (trough concentration) after the first infusion (rate: 2 g/h). The primary and secondary end points were the predictive performance of the area under the unbound concentration-time curve (AUC unbound ) and the effect of unbound cefepime pharmacokinetic parameters on clinical response, respectively.
    Results: The mean (SD) AUC unbound was 689.7 (226.6) mcg h/mL, which correlated with C7.2h (R 2 = 0.90), and the Bayesian posterior AUC unbound using only the trough concentration (R 2 = 0.66). Although higher exposure was more likely to show a better clinical response, each parameter did not indicate a statistical significance between positive and negative clinical responses ( P = 0.0907 for creatinine clearance (Ccr), 0.2523 for C7.2h, 0.4079 for trough concentration, and 0.1142 for AUC unbound ). Cutoff values were calculated as 80.2 mL/min for Ccr (sensitivity: 0.889, specificity: 0.714), 18.6 mcg/mL for C7.2h (sensitivity: 0.571, specificity: 1.000), and 9.2 mcg/mL for trough concentration (sensitivity: 0.571, specificity: 1.000). When aiming for a time above 100% the minimum inhibitory concentration, both continuous infusion of 4 g/d and intermittent infusion of 2 g every 8 hours achieved a probability of approximately 100% at a minimum inhibitory concentration of 8 mcg/mL.
    Conclusions: Therapeutic drug monitoring by sampling at C7.2h or trough can facilitate rapid dose optimization. Continuous infusion of 4 g/d was recommended. Intermittent dosing of 2 g every 8 hours was alternatively suggested for patients with a Ccr of 60-90 mL/min.

    Abstract The combined use of vancomycin (VCM) and tazobactam/piperacillin (TAZ/PIPC) is a major risk factor for nephrotoxicity. We sought to evaluate interventions against the combined use of VCM and TAZ/PIPC. This retrospective cohort study involved patients who considered the combined use of VCM and TAZ/PIPC as a treatment. Patients that had either or both antimicrobials replaced were assigned to the intervention group, whereas those who were continued on combination therapy were assigned to the comparison group. The primary endpoint was the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI). The survival rate of patients on day 30 was evaluated as the secondary endpoint. The comparison and intervention groups were composed of 65 and 68 patients, respectively, and the incidence rates of AKI were 44.6% and 17.6%, respectively. Cox proportional hazard analysis identified the intervention as the only independent factor against AKI development, with a hazard ratio of 0.282 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.141 to 0.565). For the incidence of AKI of grade greater than 1, the hazard ratio was 0.114 (95% CI, 0.025 to 0.497). The survival rates on day 30 in the comparison and intervention groups were 92.3% and 91.2%, respectively, with a relative risk of 0.988 (95% CI, 0.892 to 1.094). The trough VCM concentration was not associated with the incidence of AKI in patients receiving the combination therapy. This study demonstrated that intervention against the combined use of VCM and TAZ/PIPC can lower the risk of nephrotoxicity.

    Abstract HIV-1 often acquires drug-resistant mutations in spite of the benefits of antiretroviral therapy (ART). HIV-1 integrase (IN) is essential for the concerted integration of HIV-1 DNA into the host genome. IN further contributes to HIV-1 RNA binding, which is required for HIV-1 maturation. Non-catalytic-site integrase inhibitors (NCINIs) have been developed as allosteric IN inhibitors, which perform anti-HIV-1 activity by a multimodal mode of action such as inhibition of the IN-lens epithelium-derived growth factor (LEDGF)/p75 interaction in the early stage and disruption of functional IN multimerization in the late stage of HIV-1 replication. Here, we show that IN undergoes an adaptable conformational change to escape from NCINIs. We observed that NCINI-resistant HIV-1 variants have accumulated 4 amino acid mutations by passage 26 (P26) in the IN-encoding region. We employed high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), thermal stability assays, and X-ray crystallographic analysis to show that some amino acid mutations affect the stability and/or dimerization interface of the IN catalytic core domains (CCDs), potentially resulting in the severely decreased multimerization of full-length IN proteins (IN undermultimerization). This undermultimerized IN via NCINI-related mutations was stabilized by HIV-1 RNA and restored to the same level as that of wild-type HIV-1 in viral particles. Recombinant HIV-1 clones with IN undermultimerization propagated similarly to wild-type HIV-1. Our study revealed that HIV-1 can eventually counteract NCINI-induced IN overmultimerization by IN undermultimerization as one of the escape mechanisms. Our findings provide information on the understanding of IN multimerization with or without HIV-1 RNA and may influence the development of anti-HIV-1 strategies.

    Abstract Small CD4-mimetic compound (CD4mc), which inhibits the interaction between gp120 with CD4, acts as an entry inhibitor and induces structural changes in the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein trimer (Env) through its insertion within the Phe43 cavity of gp120. We recently developed YIR-821, a novel CD4mc, that has potent antiviral activity and lower toxicity than the prototype NBD-556. To assess the possibility of clinical application of YIR-821, we tested its antiviral activity using a panel of HIV-1 pseudoviruses from different subtypes. YIR-821 displayed entry inhibitor activity against 53.5% (21/40) of the pseudoviruses tested and enhanced neutralization mediated by coreceptor binding site (CoRBS) antibodies in 50% (16/32) of these. Furthermore, when we assessed the antiviral effects using a panel of pseudoviruses and autologous plasma IgG, enhancement of antibody-mediated neutralization activity was observed for 48% (15/31) of subtype B strains and 51% (28/55) of non-B strains. The direct antiviral activity of YIR-821 as an entry inhibitor was observed in 53% of both subtype B (27/51) and non-B subtype (40/75) pseudoviruses. Enhancement of antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity was also observed with YIR-821 for all six selected clinical isolates, as well as for the transmitted/founder (T/F) CH58 virus-infected cells. The sequence diversity in the CD4 binding site as well as other regions, such as the gp120 inner domain layers or gp41, may be involved in the multiple mechanisms related to the sensitive/resistant phenotype of the virus to YIR-821. Our findings may facilitate the clinical application of YIR-821.

    Abstract Human retroviruses, including human T cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) and HIV type 1 (HIV-1), encode an antisense gene in the negative strand of the provirus. Besides coding for proteins, the messenger RNAs (mRNAs) of retroviral antisense genes have also been found to regulate transcription directly. Thus, it has been proposed that retroviruses likely localize their antisense mRNAs to the nucleus in order to regulate nuclear events; however, this opposes the coding function of retroviral antisense mRNAs that requires a cytoplasmic localization for protein translation. Here, we provide direct evidence that retroviral antisense mRNAs are localized predominantly in the nuclei of infected cells. The retroviral 3' LTR induces inefficient polyadenylation and nuclear retention of antisense mRNA. We further reveal that retroviral antisense RNAs retained in the nucleus associate with chromatin and have transcriptional regulatory function. While HTLV-1 antisense mRNA is recruited to the promoter of C-C chemokine receptor type 4 (

    Abstract Introduction: The discovery of CC-chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) as a human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) coreceptor opened a new avenue to exploit CCR5 as a potential target for the intervention of HIV-1's cellular entry.
    Areas covered: Various small-molecule CCR5 inhibitors were identified in the last decade; however, maraviroc (MVC) is the only CCR5 inhibitor currently used in the clinic. Concerns and challenges that exist for wider clinical use of CCR5 inhibitors are discussed.
    Expert opinion: Although MVC-containing regimens have been recommended for treatment-naïve patients, MVC appears to have been used as one of drugs for salvage therapy rather than for treating drug-naïve patients. This is apparently due to MVC's twice-daily dosing schedule. Another significant disadvantage is that a costly tropism assay must be performed prior to MVC treatment. The access to inexpensive, sensitive, and rapid tropism tests should be made easily available. Only a few novel CCR5 inhibitors are presently in the pipeline. Development of potent and metabolically-stable novel CCR5 inhibitors allowing once-daily dosing regimens is needed. Development of CXCR4 inhibitors should greatly improve the treatment options available to patients infected with X4- and/or dual-tropic HIV-1 strains in combination with a CCR5 inhibitor.
