HAART, % patient-days Deaths per 100 person-years 35 Introducción Goal of HAART Suppress maximum replication of virus High genetic variability of HIV-1 - High rate of replication (109-1010 particles/day) HAART (suboptimum conditions) - Low fidelity of Retrotranscriptasa (2,5x10-5/nt) Lack of activity of exonuclease 3’-5’ -Bad adherence to regimen - High frequency of recombination -Bad absorption - Enzymatic plasticity -Pharmaceutical Interactions -Loss of drug potency Introducción Mechanism of Entry HIV-1 A) B) Interaction with CD4 and conformation change in gp120 C) Interaction with co receptor gp41 CD4 gp120 Co-receptor D) Release of fusion protein and insertion into lipid membrane E) Formation of bundle structure of six helices and fusion of membranes Generation of viruses resistance to MVC Inhibitors of CCR5: MARAVIROC Maeda y col., J.
