Abstract Background: HIV protease inhibitors are recommended as part of combination antiretroviral therapy. Dual protease inhibitor therapy is also being used clinically. Consequently, a simultaneous assay for indinavir, nelfinavir, ritonavir, and saquinavir was developed. Methods: Indinavir, nelfinavir, ritonavir, and saquinavir were extracted from plasma (250 μL) with methyl-t-butyl ether at basic pH after addition of an internal standard (A-86093). The compounds were separated on a Keystone BetaBasic C4 column (250 × 3 mm i.d.) at 40 °C with a mobile phase of acetonitrile-50 mmol/L ammonium formate buffer, pH 4.1 (52:48, by volume) at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. Indinavir, nelfinavir, ritonavir, and the internal standard (A-86093) were detected at 218 nm, and saquinavir was detected at 235 nm. The method was validated by analysis of five triplicate analyses of calibrators along with quality-control samples at three different concentrations prepared in human plasma. Results: The extraction recovery was 87–92%. Within-run accuracy for quality-control samples was 6–8%, with CVs of 2–8%. Limits of quantification were 40–50 μg/L for indinavir, nelfinavir, and ritonavir, and 20 μg/L for saquinavir. Cross-validation with a liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy method for saquinavir and nelfinavir was conducted with patient samples. Regression analysis revealed a good correlation (r2 >0.94) between methods. Larger variations at concentrations >4000 μg/L were observed with nelfinavir. Interference with drugs commonly used in AIDS patients was not observed. Pharmacokinetic profiles for two patients on dual protease therapy were determined. Conclusions: A reliable and rugged simultaneous HPLC assay for four HIV protease inhibitors was developed. The assay method is convenient for clinical laboratories involved in therapeutic drug monitoring for HIV protease inhibitors. The assay has enough sensitivity to conduct pharmacokinetic studies in patients taking more than one HIV protease inhibitor along with other antiretroviral medications.

Cholesterol Accumulation

HIV protease inhibitors are important pharmacological agents used in the treatment of HIV-infected patients. One of the major disadvantages of HIV protease inhibitors is that they increase several cardiovascular risk factors, including the expression of CD36 in macrophages. The expression of CD36 in macrophages promotes the accumulation of cholesterol, the development of foam cells, and ultimately atherosclerosis. Recent studies have suggested that α-tocopherol can prevent HIV protease inhibitor-induced increases in macrophage CD36 levels. Because of the potential clinical utility of using α-tocopherol to limit some of the side effects of HIV protease inhibitors, we tested the ability of α-tocopherol to prevent ritonavir, a common HIV protease inhibitor, from inducing atherosclerosis in the LDL receptor (LDLR) null mouse model. Surprisingly, α-tocopherol did not prevent ritonavir-induced atherosclerosis. However, cotreatment with the nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), didanosine or D4T, did prevent ritonavir-induced atherosclerosis. Using macrophages isolated from LDLR null mice, we demonstrated that the NRTIs prevented the upregulation of CD36 and cholesterol accumulation in macrophages. Treatment of LDLR null mice with NRTIs promoted the ubiquitination and downregulation of protein kinase Cα (PKC). Previous studies demonstrated that HIV protease inhibitor activation of PKC was necessary for the upregulation of CD36. Importantly, the in vivo inhibition of PKC with chelerythrine prevented ritonavir-induced upregulation of CD36, accumulation of cholesterol, and the formation of atherosclerotic lesions. These novel mechanistic studies suggest that NRTIs may provide protection from one of the negative side effects associated with HIV protease inhibitors, namely the increase in CD36 levels and subsequent cholesterol accumulation and atherogenesis.

Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) has been devastating for millions of people around the world. Inhibition of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) protease is among the most important approaches for the therapeutic intervention in HIV infection. Since the discovery of the HIV-1 protease, this enzyme has been considered as a key target for the inhibition of viral replication. A large body of research has been done to develop an effective HIV-1 protease inhibitor. There are to date 10 HIV-1 protease inhibitor drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that have improved the survival and quality of life of HIV infected people. These drugs are prescribed in combination with the reverse transcriptase inhibitors, which is referred to as highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). The HIV-1 protease inhibitors play a vital role in HAART. The applications of click chemistry are dispersing in the field of drug discovery. Recently, click chemistry has captured a lot of attention and has become a powerful tool for the synthesis of medicinal skeletons in the discovery of anti-HIV drugs. Click reaction is a well-known method for making carbon−heteroatom−carbon bonds. Click reactions are popular because they are wide in scope, of high yielding, quick to perform, and easy to purify. In this review, we outlined current approaches towards the development of HIV-1 protease inhibitors employing click chemistry.
