Mechanism of Action

Targets/IC50/Ki
NNRT [2]
In vitro

Lersivirine (UK-453061) binds to HIV-1 wt reverse transcriptase (RT) with Kd of 624 nM. It is a very weak inhibitor of human DNA polymerase beta, with an extrapolated geometric mean IC50 of approximately 20 mM resulting in a predicted selectivity index of 166,000. This compound is able to inhibit HIV-1 virus replication in MT-2 cells infected with wt NL4-3, with an EC50 ranging from 5 nM to 35 nM against an MOI ranging from 0.005 to 0.5. It retains activity against 80% of viruses with genotypes containing K103N as a single NNRTI mutation (versus 7% for efavirenz), 57% of viruses with genotypes containing Y181C as a single NNRTI mutation (43% for efavirenz), and 46% of viruses with genotypes containing G190A as a single NNRTI mutation (0% for efavirenz). Lersivirine inhibits the replication of strain Ba-L in PBL, with a geometric mean EC50 equal to 3.38 nM (95% CI, 2.26 to 5.05 nM) and an EC90 equal to 9.87 nM (95% CI, 6.63 to 14.7 nM), with no cytotoxicity observed up to 50 μM. Combinations of it with drugs of the NRTI class (abacavir, didanosine, emtricitabine, lamivudine, tenofovir, and zidovudine) results in synergistic interactions. [1]

Kinase Assay
RT enzyme assays
The activities of lersivirine (UK-453061) and efavirenz against wt RT (BH10 strain) are determined using a primer extension assay incorporating a DNA/RNA primer/template. The 5’biotinylated primer DNA is a 16mer oligo(dT), which is annealed to a poly(rA) template of approximately 300 bases in length. Incorporation of [3H]TTP(dTTP) by reverse transcription results in extension of the primer. During the reaction the primer/template is bound to a streptavidin-coated flashplate (NEN). The incorporated tritiated nucleotides can then stimulate the scintillant to produce a signal that is measured using a scintillation counter. Compounds that inhibit the RNA-dependent DNA polymerase activity of RT produce a reduced signal.
In vivo

In mice, Lersivirine (UK-453061) is not teratogenic.[3]
