"The investigational nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) GS-9148 (GS-9131 is prodrug) maintains potent activity against a majority of clinically observed resistance mutations". "The hyperssusceptibility of Q151L to tenofovir and AZT suggest potential utility of combination therapy of GS-9131 with these agents". From Jules: it appears the drug is potentially active against tenofovir resistance, is more potent than tenofovir, has less if any renal side effects, and tenofovir might be active against GS-9148 resistance. This drug has potential use for patients. Gilead has placed development of this drug on hold.
AUTHOR CONCLUSIONS


Introduction
GS-9148 (Fig. 1) is a novel nucleotide HIV RT inhibitor (NtRTI) that
maintains potent activity against a majority of clinically observed
resistance mutations including M184V, K65R, L74V, and ≥ 4 TAMs1
GS-9148 has low-level cross-resistance to Q151M + complex
GS-9131 (Fig. 1), an orally bioavailable phosphonoamidate prodrug
of GS-9148, was designed to effi ciently enter PBMCs in vivo and then
release GS-9148 intracellularly2
GS-9131 has completed initial phase I evaluation in HIV-1 infected
patients
A GS-9148 resistance selection with HIV-1 IIIB previously resulted in
K70E+D123N+T165I RT mutations and low-level reduced susceptibility
to GS-91487
OBJECTIVES
To further characterize the resistance that develops to GS-9148 in vitro
To evaluate the cross-resistance of the selected mutations to other
N(t)RTIs
To characterize the developing resistance mutations for their impact
on viral replication capacity
