OBJECTIVE: To determine the in vitro susceptibility of primary clinical isolates and laboratory strains of HIV-1 to XM323. METHODS: The AIDS Clinical Trials Group/US Department of Defense p24 antigen-based consensus assay was used to determine in vitro susceptibility of 57 primary clinical isolates and three laboratory strains of HIV-1 to XM323, zidovudine, zalcitabine (ddC), and didanosine (ddI). RESULTS: The concentrations of compound required to inhibit viral p24 antigen production by 50% [median inhibitory concentration (IC50)] for nucleosides were as follows: zidovudine, 0.001-->5 microM; ddC, < 0.01-0.23 microM; ddI, 0.2-->25 microM). Against both nucleoside susceptible and resistant isolates XM323 exhibited potent inhibition with IC50 values of < 0.02-0.27 microM and IC90 values of 0.03-1.17 microM. CONCLUSIONS: XM323 is a potent inhibitor of diverse clinical isolates of HIV-1 in vitro and represents a novel class of non-peptidyl inhibitors of HIV-1 protease.
