HIV-1
integrase (HIV-1 IN or IN) is a multimeric enzyme that integrates the HIV-1 genome into the chromosomes of infected CD4+ T-cells. Currently there are three FDA approved HIV-1 IN strand transfer
inhibitors (INSTIs) used in clinical practice: raltegravir (RAL), elvitegravir (ELV), and dolutegravir (DTG). The [Q148H], [Q148H, G140S], [Q148R], [Q148R, G140A] and [N155H, E92Q] mutations decrease IN susceptibility to RAL and ELV and may result in therapeutic failure. As an indicator of protein flexibility, the root mean square deviation (RMSD) of each HIV-1 IN residue in the last 5 ns of a 40 ns molecular dynamics simulation was calculated for HIV-1 IN catalytic core domain as an apoprotein and in complex with RAL, ELV, and DTG to study how the mutations affect HIV-1 IN flexibility. In addition, we studied the relationship between HIV-1 IN flexibility and resistance. We found that the mutants reduced overall HIV-1 IN flexibility relative to the WT IN apoprotein. We also observed that the catalytic 140s loop in the HIV-1 IN-INSTI complexes were more flexible in mutants that displayed higher reported EC50 FC (fold change) values. To further investigate the mutations effect on the more complexed full length HIV-1 IN structure, we used molecular dynamics simulations to study the impact of the mutants on binary (IN-viral DNA complex) and ternary (IN-viral DNA- INSTI) IN flexibility. RMSD analyses revealed that that the mutants have a rigid structure relative to the WT IN. Furthermore, mutant IN showed transient changes in the secondary structure of the 140s loop compared to the WT. In addition to these reduced flexibility and structural changes, resistance mutations alter the binding mode of RAL, ELV, and DTG to IN and viral DNA. This study is the first to identify a structural basis of IN mechanism of resistance to INSTIs that develops under treatment pressure in HIV-1 IN.

▼ Nitrogen-containing heterocycles are commonly
seen both in the pharmacophores of drug molecules and also in the
cores of natural products. This dissertation explores the
functionalization of nitrogen-containing heteroaromatic rings to
access the highly substituted scaffolds of bioactive molecules
within two distinct projects. Part I features medicinal chemistry
efforts in the synthesis and derivatization of functionalized
quinolines, indoles, pyridines, and pyrroles as novel HIV
allosteric
integrase inhibitors. Alternatively, part II involves
synthetic efforts towards the indole subunit of the bioactive
natural product, sespendole. HIV
integrase (IN)
plays a crucial role in the replication of the HIV virus as it
catalyzes the transfer of the viral genetic code into the host
genome. Raltegravir (Merck & Co) is the first FDA drug
targeting this strand transfer catalytic activity; however, rapid
viral mutation has since led to drug-resistance and a renewed
interest in developing new
integrase inhibitors. In this regard,
the host enzyme lens-epithelium derived growth factor
(LEDGF)-
integrase interaction served as new targets for generating
novel
integrase inhibitors. Recently, independent studies by other
groups resulted in the identification of 2-(quinolin-3-yl)acetic
acid derivatives as allosteric
integrase inhibitors (ALLINIs).
Development of synthetic routes to these
inhibitors and a series of
structural analogues have facilitated elucidation of the novel
multifunctional mechanism of action for this class of compounds.
Additionally, the design of novel scaffolds as ALLINIs was
investigated through a scaffold hopping technique, the
derivatization of leads from an <i>in silico</i>
screen, and a fragment-based drug design approach. These drug
discovery methods have resulted in the syntheses of a structurally
diverse class of compounds that have provided an insight on the
structural and functional requirements of the binding
pocket. Sespendole, an indolosesquiterpene
alkaloid isolated from the fungus <i>Pseudobotrytis
terrestris</i> FKA-25, was reported as a potent inhibitor of
lipid droplet synthesis. The proposed biosynthesis of sespendole,
which involves a carbocation induced cyclization/rearrangement
cascade, initially intrigued our group and spurred our interest in
the synthesis of this complex molecule. This dissertation focuses
on the synthesis of the highly substituted indole subunit of
sespendole. Direct functionalization of the indole nucleus at the
C4 and C5 positions via application of Bartoli's Grignard addition
and halogen-metal exchange chemistry resulted in the successful
synthesis of the fully substituted indole subunit of
sespendole.

▼ Due to the mutation of HIV enzymes and their resistance against current drugs, drug companies are exploring ways to develop stronger mutant resistant drugs. Dimeric aryl diketo acids have proven to be effective
inhibitors to the HIV strand transfer mechanism of HIV-
integrase. In order to create the best drug to fight HIV-
integrase, it is important to know which features of the diketo acids have the biggest impact on reducing HIV enzyme activity. The use of evolutionary algorithms and predictive models, such as the differential evolutionary ??? binary particle swarm optimization (DE-BPSO) algorithm and Random Forest used in this research, can help find a small subset of the diketo acid???s chemical descriptors that are best able to predict the reduction in HIV enzyme activity. In this research the development of the DE-BPSO/MLR model is discussed and compared with the results against linear models tested in previous work. Also, through implementing Random Forest and TreeNet the results of linear models are compared with Non Linear models. Comparing both models will help determine which QSAR model yields the most effective HIV-IN
inhibitors. Due to the nature of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and the current treatments??? numerous side effects and rapid emergence of drug resistant variants, maximizing the effectiveness of
integrase inhibitors is an important milestone to current HIV research.

▼ An essential step in the HIV-1 replication cycle is
the integration of the viral DNA into the host chromatin, which is
catalyzed by the viral enzyme
integrase (IN). The cellular cofactor
lens epithelial growth factor (LEDGF)/p75 plays a significant role
in integration by acting as a bimodal tether between IN and
chromatin. These interactions are crucial for HIV-1 replication and
present attractive targets for antiviral therapy. Herein, I will
present research aimed at dissecting the mechanism of action of
novel allosteric HIV-1 IN
inhibitors. Chapter 1 introduces HIV-1 IN
biology, function and its inhibition. This chapter will focus on
the structural biology and function of HIV-1 IN. The role of
LEDGF/p75 in replication and integration site selection will be
discussed. Finally, the chapter will discuss three mechanisms of IN
inhibition: (I) FDA approved active site
inhibitors; (2) IN
multimerization as a therapeutic target; and (3) IN-LEDGF/p75
binding as a drug target.Chapter 2 presents the findings that novel
allosteric HIV-1 IN
inhibitors (ALLINIs) have a multimodal
mechanism of action. We demonstrate that this class of compounds
impairs both IN-LEDGF/p75 binding and LEDGF/p75-independent IN
catalytic activities with similar IC50 values, defining them as
bona fide allosteric
inhibitors of IN function. Our findings argue
strongly that improved ALLINI derivatives could exhibit desirable
clinical properties.Chapters 3 and 4 dissect the structural and
mechanistic basis for resistance to ALLINIs. The A128T IN and H171T
IN substitution emerges under ALLINI-1 and BI-D selective pressure,
respectively. Chapter 3 demonstrates that the A128T substitution
does not affect inhibitor binding but alters the positioning of the
inhibitor at the IN dimer interface. As a result, ALLINIs are no
longer able to promote aberrant higher order IN oligomers. We
conclude that ALLINIs primarily target IN multimerization rather
than IN-LEDGF/p75 binding. Chapter 4 shows that the H171T
substitution significantly reduces the affinity for BI-D binding to
recombinant H171T IN CCD. X-ray crystal structures coupled with
binding free energy calculations reveal the importance of the Nd-
protonated imidazole group of His171 for high affinity BI-D
binding. These findings reveal a distinct mechanism of resistance
for the H171T IN mutation to ALLINI BI-D. Chapter 5 presents the
design of small molecules that allowed us to probe the role of
HIV-1 IN multimerization independently from IN-LEDGF/p75
interactions in infected cells. The most potent multimerization
selective inhibitor potently blocks HIV-1 replication by inducing
aberrant IN multimerization in virus particles. These findings
delineate the significance of correctly ordered IN structure for
HIV-1 particle morphogenesis and present a novel class of
multimerization selective IN
inhibitors as investigational probes
for HIV-1 molecular biology.Finally, chapter 6 summarizes the
findings and significance of this dissertation research as well as
provides future perspectives. In summary, this…

▼ In recent years, HIV-1
integrase (IN) has emerged as an attractive target for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), the causative pathogen of acquired immuno-deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Several classes of IN
inhibitors are known but many of these compounds are toxic, do not show antiviral activity or display decreased potency. Therefore, new classes of potent IN
inhibitors are desperately needed. The b-diketo (b-DK) class of compounds has emerged as one of the most successful classes of IN
inhibitors. Although several b-DK
inhibitors with potent antiviral activity are known, compounds containing b-DK motifs have limitations in drug development. The overall objective of this dissertation was to design and synthesize a novel series of IN
inhibitors that retain the favorable characteristics of the b-DK scaffolds but are devoid of the "undruggable" properties. The design of the target molecules was established from crystal structure-based correlation and structure-activity relationship studies, which led to scaffolds containing three specific functional groups. Each molecule was designed to contain the core functional motif (a,b-diketoamide), optimal aryl groups (3-benzylphenyl or substituted 3-benzylphenyl) and a terminal group (proton donor or acceptor or amphoteric functional groups) in a planar or near planar configuration. Several oxalamate containing compounds were successfully designed and synthesized; and many of these synthetic analogs were sent to be screened for inhibitory activity against HIV-1 IN. The synthetic analogs described herein may elicit alluring antiviral activity, serve as potential lead molecules for future optimizations and ultimately elucidate mechanistic insight into HIV-1 IN inhibition.

▼ The treatment of HIV/AIDS is one of, if not, the most challenging medical enigmas of the 20th and 21st centuries. At the time of its discovery, HIV patients were predominantly homosexual White males in America. The demographics have changed
drastically over the past two decades. Now women make up nearly 50% of global HIV/AIDS patients. The current feminization of HIV demographics has led to another obstacle, mother to child transmission (MTCT). These statistics, coupled with the fact that
vertical transmission is the largest factor in the number of newly diagnosed juvenile HIV/AIDS patients, create a need to optimize treatment of HIV positive pregnant women, to reduce vertical transmission of HIV. It has been shown that administration of
anti-HIV medications during pregnancy, delivery and to the infant after birth greatly reduces the risk of vertical transmission. Understanding the pharmacokinetics of HIV/AIDS medications alone and in combination during pregnancy is necessary in the
development of more effective methods of vertical transmission prophylaxis. Using a pregnant rat model, we have developed analytical methods and investigated the pharmacokinetics and placental transport of anti-HIV drugs alone and in combination. These
studies allowed us to determine and understand any possible interactions between drugs in combination. Studies were performed on timed-pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats and pharmacokinetic analysis was performed using WinNonlin. While current methods of
treating HIV/AIDS patients have been highly successful, the chance of viral mutations and resistance to Anti-Retroviral Therapy often occurs. In order to combat the resistance of reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI and NNRTI) and protease inhibitors,
scientists have continually searched for additional targets on HIV. For instance, integrase inhibitors, block the action of integrase, a viral enzyme, which integrates HIV DNA into the target cells. We have determined the pharmacokinetic profile of an
investigational integrase inhibitor. In vivo animal studies were being performed on male Sprague-Dawley rats and female PXR-KO and hPXR transgenic mice and pharmacokinetic analysis was performed using WinNonlin.

▼ HIV-1
integrase (IN) is essential for viral replication and offers a promising target for the
development of anti-retroviral drugs. Two decades of extensive research has lead to the recent
approval of raltegravir as the first IN inhibitor. Advancement of drug candidate elvitegravir,
which is currently in Phase III clinical trial, has furthermore accelerated efforts against this
potential target for combating HIV. However, the emergence of resistance against raltegravir and
elvitegravir demands exploration of novel chemical scaffolds that could circumvent resistance
against currently used HIV-1 IN
inhibitors. With the goal of discovering new agents targeting
HIV, a novel structural class of HIV-IN
inhibitors have been designed and synthesized.
Substantial computational studies were also performed that could aid the design and
development of potent HIV IN
inhibitors.
A part of this dissertation research, covered in Chapter 3, details the design, synthesis, and
biological evaluation of 3-keto salicylic acid chalcones as novel HIV-1 IN
inhibitors. In the
chalcone series, the most active compound, 5-bromo-2-hydroxy-3-[3-(2,3,6-trichloro-phenyl)-
acryloyl]-2-hydroxybenzoic acid (96) was selectively active against IN strand transfer (ST) with
IC50 of 3.7 µM. While most of the compounds exhibit ST selectivity, a few were nonselective,
such as 5-bromo-3-[3-(4-bromo-phenyl)-acryloyl]-2-hydroxybenzoic acid (86), which was active
against both 3!-processing (3!-P) and ST with IC50 values of 11 ± 4 and 5 ± 2 "M, respectively.
The compounds also inhibited HIV-1 replication with potencies comparable to their
integrase
inhibitory activities. Thus, compounds 96 and 86 inhibited HIV-1 replication with EC50 values of
7.3 and 8.7 "M, respectively. Chapter 4 describes the synthesis of structurally related amide
derivatives which were designed by modification of the chalcone moiety. In the amide series, the
most active compound, 5-bromo-3-[(3-chloro-2,4-difluoro benzyl)- carbamoyl]-2-hydroxybenzoic
acid (151), inhibited ST with an IC50 of 4 µM. Chapter 5 discloses the synthesis, and
biological studies of halogenated phenanthrene-diketo acids as novel HIV-1 IN
inhibitors. The
two most active compounds of the series, 4-(8-chlorophenanthren-3-yl)-2,4-dioxobutanoic acid
(179) and 4-(6-chlorophenanthren-2-yl)-2,4-dioxobutanoic acid (177) had ST IC50 values of 1.2
and 1.3 "M, respectively, and corresponding 3!-P values of 11.0 and 5.0 "M.
In the last section of the dissertation detailed in Chapter 6, computational studies were conducted
with the aim of exploring the possible binding modes of potent IN
inhibitors and evaluating the
structural requirements for IN inhibition. To determine the physicochemical parameters
important for ligand binding, in the first part of this chapter, a PHASE pharmacophore
hypothesis was developed and used for molecular alignments in the initial comparative
molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity analysis (CoMSIA)
3D-quantitative structure activity relationship (3D-QSAR) modeling of the…

▼ Le virus de l'immunodéficience humain de type 1 VIH-1 est un rétrovirus responsable d'une pandémie touchant actuellement 34 millions de personnes dont près de 25 millons en sont morts. En dépit des grands progrès réalisés dans le développement de nouveaux médicaments visant à bloquer la réplication de ce virus, l'émergence rapide de souches virales mutantes résistantes imposent l'urgence et la nécessité de développer de nouvelles stratégies thérapeutiques pour combattre ce virus. La Reverse Transcriptase (RT) duVIH-1 joue un rôle majeur dans le cycle viral puisqu'elle est responsable de convertir l'ARN génomique simple brin en ADN double afin d'intégrer l'ADN génomique de la cellule hôte. La forme biologique de la RT est un hétérodimère formé de la sous unité p66 et la sous unité p51. Les sous unités sont constituées des sous domaines fingers, palm, « connection », thumb et RNase H, ce dernier étant absent sur la sous unité p51. L'activation de la RT est un processus en deux étapes : la première étape consiste en l'association rapide des deux sous unités, suivie d'une deuxième étape plus lente, correspondant à des changements conformationnels fins à l'interface entre p66/p51.Dans l'objectif d'inhiber la fonction de la RT, nous avons proposé une nouvelle stratégie fondée sur l'utilisation des peptides interfacials courts dérivant de séquences hautement conserver de la RT, capables de cibler efficacement les interactions protéine/protéine et de bloquer la dimérisation et l'activation par maturation de la RT. La dimérisation des deux sous unités implique leur interaction part les domaines de connexion. Dans la première partie de ce travail de thèse, nous avons criblé et isolé des peptides capables d'interférer avec cette interaction impliquant un « cluster » de résidus aromatiques. Nous avons identifié un peptide court PID4, et démontré que ce peptide induit un changement de conformation de la RT, entrainant la dissociation du complexe. La maturation implique l'interaction de résidus localisés au niveau de « hot spot » dans le domaine RNase H de p66 et thumb de p51. Dans la deuxième partie de cette thèse, nous avons sélectionné un peptide court, P27, issus du domaine thumb pouvant inhiber l'étape de la « maturation » (P27). Ces deux classes de peptides bloquent la réplication virale et sont efficaces sur plusieurs souches virales et sur des mutants résistants aux NNRTIS et NRTIS.Les résultats obtenus sur nos deux classes d'inhibiteurs peptidiques, démontrent bien que la dimérisation et la maturation de la RT constituent des cibles de choix pour bloquer l'activité polymérase de la RT et ainsi stopper la prolifération virale par un nouvel concept moins exposer à l'émergence des mutation de résistance.

▼ markdownabstractThe studies that will be described in Chapter 2 to 8, and which resulted in this thesis, aim to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of new HIV treatment strategies with INSTIs, especially DTG, in HIV-1 infected individuals. Furthermore, several aspects of cART-toxicity with dual NRTI backbones in combination with an INSTI, PI, or NNRTI are evaluated. The ultimate goal is a more individualized and patient-centered therapy by balancing virological and immunological efficacy with reduction of the risk of adverse events.
This thesis focuses on three issues.
_Part 1_ focuses on the effects of a switch from triple cART to DTG as maintenance monotherapy.
In _part 2_ the safety of initiating INSTI-containing cART in HIV late presenters with compromised immunity on the risk of IRIS is discussed.
_Part 3_ concentrates on aspects regarding safety of the NRTI backbone in INSTI, PI, or NNRTI containing cART and possibilities to further individualize HIV treatment.

▼ L’étude de stratégies visant à diminuer la taille du reservoir viral, et notamment l’impact des traitements antirétroviraux, permettront peut-être de s’approcher des objectifs de guérison de l’infection à VIH. Nous avons analysé la dynamique de ce réservoir chez des personnes vivant avec le VIH débutant un traitement comprenant du dolutegravir (TCD) à différents stades de l’infection. L’étude DRONE a inclus des personnes débutant et répondant à un TCD et suivies pendant 48 semaines. L’ADN-VIH dans les cellules mononucléées du sang périophérique (CMSP), l’ADN-VIH dans les sous-populations lymphocytaires TCD4+ (Effecteur mémoire, TEM; Transitionnel mémoire, TTM; Central mémoire, TCM and Naïf, TN), le séquençage à haut débit de l’ADN-VIH et des marqueurs inflammatoires (CD14s, CD163s, IL-6us and IP- 10) ont été analysés. Au total, 169 participants ont été inclus dans différents groupes: infections aiguës (AI, n=20), infections chroniques (CI, n=21), en succès virologique sous traitement (VS, n=116) et dans un contexte d’échec virologique à l’initiation du TCD (VF, n=12). L’ADN-VIH dans les CMSP et les sous-populations lymphocytaires, et les marqueurs inflammatoires ont diminué sous TCD dans les groupes AI, CI et VF mais pas dans le groupe VS. La diminution la plus prononcée a été observée dans le groupe AI. La diversité génétique du reservoir viral a, quant à elle, été modifiée rapidement après l’initiation du TCD dans tous les groupes. Un TCD efficace permet une diminution rapide du réservoir viral chez des personnes naïves de traitement mais aussi en cas d’échec virologique. L’effet du dolutegravir sur la latence virale devrait être étudié plus avant.
Strategies aimed at reducing the latent HIV reservoir size, including combined antiretroviral therapy, may enhance the probability of a possible cure. Here, we assessed the dynamics of HIV reservoir among HIV-infected adults initiating a dolutegravir-based regimen (DBR) at different stages of HIV infection. The DRONE trial enrolled individuals starting and responding to a DBR on a 48 weeks follow-up. HIV-DNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), HIV-DNA in sorted CD4+ T cell subsets (Effector memory, TEM; Transitional memory, TTM; Central memory, TCM and Naive, TN), HIV-DNA ultra-deep sequencing and serum immune activation biomarkers (sCD14, sCD163, IL-6us and IP-10) were assessed. Overall, 169 participants were allocated to different groups: acute infections (AI, n=20), chronic infections (CI, n=21), individuals in virological success on treatment (VS, n=116), and in the aftermath of virological failures at baseline (VF, n=12). HIV-DNA in PBMCs and in sorted CD4+ T cell subsets, and immune activation markers decreased on DBR in the AI, CI and VF groups but not in the VS group. Participants from the AI group experienced the most dramatic decline. Genetic diversity of the viral reservoir was also affected shortly after DBR initiation in all groups of individuals. Successful DBR produced a rapid decline in the viral reservoir in treatment-naive but also in…

▼ This thesis describes synthetic studies towards the HIV-1 integrase inhibitory natural products lithospermic acid and integramycin, resulting in a formal total synthesis of the former. A modular, flexible and convergent synthetic strategy to lithospermic acid was devised. In this approach, a Sonogashira coupling was used to unite the C1–C7 and C20–C27 fragments that were subsequently manipulated to then participate in the key step of the synthesis, a palladium-mediated carbonylative annulation. Reduction of the benzofuran nucleus with magnesium in methanol then provided the desired dihydrobenzofuran core of lithospermic acid. Various protecting group strategies were investigated to complete this sequence in an efficient manner. Further synthetic manipulations afforded the complete C1–C9/C19–C27 fragment, which was united with the C10–C18 fragment to deliver the entire carbon skeleton of lithospermic acid. A two step deprotection sequence was undertaken, however, complications with the final deprotective step prevented definitive proof that the total synthesis of lithospermic acid had been achieved. An alternate protecting group strategy was sought, and a formal total synthesis of lithospermic acid was achieved by intercepting an advanced intermediate from a previous total synthesis. Several strategies for the enantioselective synthesis of the dihydrobenzofuran core of lithospermic acid were evaluated, however, none proved successful. A synthetic route towards the tetramic acid subunit of integramycin was also investigated. 3- Methoxymaleimide was constructed using known chemistry, and the regioselective reduction of this ring system was developed. Attempts to further functionalise this ring system were thwarted by difficulties associated with handling. The scope of the regioselective reduction was investigated on an array of N- substituted methoxymaleimides with the procedure found to be generally high yielding and highly regioselective.

Exploring the Early Events in the HIV-1 Life Cycle: From Post-Entry Restriction to Nuclear Import.

▼ Early events in the viral replication cycle of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) determine the virus' ability to sustain a persistent infection in susceptible host species. However, many of the molecular machinations through which the virus progresses during its earliest moments in the cell's interior remain enigmatic. Similar to other virus families, HIV virions are packed with a specific assortment of viral and cellular proteins that allow them to carry out their unique program for replication inside of target cells. One such protein that is present in incoming virions, HIV-1 integrase, is an enzyme that facilitates the fusion of the viral genome and the host genomic DNA in the nucleus, thereby making HIV a permanent fixture in infected individuals. We have discovered that, in addition to its role in catalyzing integration, the HIV-1 integrase plays key part in transporting the viral DNA through the cytoplasm to the nucleus during a process known as viral nuclear import. Viral nuclear import is a key early step in the viral life cycle directly preceding integration that has to date been exploited as a target for antiretroviral therapy. Our recent studies indicate that a small stretch of sequence within the carboxyl terminus of the HIV-1 integrase protein contains a nuclear localization signal (NLS) that is indispensable for viral nuclear import and therefore absolutely required for productive HIV infection. Importantly, we have identified several mutations (NLS mutants) within this region that can disrupt nuclear import and therefore completely stall HIV infection. In addition, alignment of all the known subtypes of HIV within the region specified by our NLS mutants indicates that the virus seldom changes its sequence in this part of its genome, suggesting that this domain is a critical factor that it must preserve for optimal infection. Thus, a major focus of this thesis is to clarify the role that the HIV integrase plays in nuclear import. In turn, these analyses may provide a rational basis for the design of new experimental drug screening systems dedicated to finding inhibitors that block HIV-1 nuclear import and curtail HIV infection. A secondary aim of this work is to understand the mechanism of species-specific restriction of lentivirus infection in primates mediated by endogenous host cell restriction factors such as Lvl/TRIM5-a. Lastly, a potential role for non-pathogenic viral DNA episomal circles formed from integration-defective HIV virions as a novel platform for gene therapy based vaccines is discussed.

▼ Les deux virus d’ARN VIH et VHC attirent beaucoup d’attention de la santé publique parce qu’ils partagent des mêmes facteurs de risque de transmission par le sang et par des contacts sexuels. En plus, les maladies associées aux infections par le VIH et par le VHC sont des causes principales de mortalité et de morbidité globalement. Néanmoins, grâce à l’introduction des thérapies d’antirétroviraux pour le traitement de l’infection par le VIH et les antiviraux à action directe (AADs) pour le traitement de l’infection par le VHC, les patients infectés par ces virus constatent une amélioration significative de leur qualité de vie. Cependant, le taux de réplication élevé et l'absence de mécanisme de correction d'erreur de ces virus génèrent une population virale diversifiée appelée des quasi-espèces. Sous la pression sélective de traitement, les quasi-espèces virales sélectionnent des variants de résistance au médicament correspondant et rendent la thérapie inefficace, en particulier dans les cas où une surveillance appropriée du traitement n'est pas assurée. Afin de réserver un large choix de traitement antirétroviral tout au long de la vie chez les patients infectés par le VIH et, parallèlement, de réduire le coût de traitement des infections par le VIH et le VHC, il est fondamental de mener des recherches ciblées sur la détection, la surveillance et la transmission des mutations de résistance aux antiviraux. Dans cette thèse, nous avons utilisé les technologies de séquençage haut-débit (UDS) ou de séquençage de nouvelle génération (NGS) pour chercher des variants de résistance minoritaires (MiRVs) qui sont classiquement considérés comme représentant moins de 15%-25% de la population virale et ne sont pas trouvés par la technique de séquençage Sanger. La présence des MiRVs à baseline est responsable possiblement de l'échec de traitement et leur présence à l'échec peut limiter les options des traitements ultérieurs. Dans cette thèse, nous avons évalué la prévalence et l’impact clinique des MiRVs sur le gène de l’intégrase chez les patients infectés par le VIH qui ont été en échec d’un régime thérapeutique contenant un inhibiteur de l’intégrase. Nous avons également évalué l’impact des MiRVs chez les patients infectés par le VHC de génotype 3 et de génotype 4 et ayant échoué aux AADs. De plus, nous avons utilisé la technique UDS pour identifier et caractériser les chaines de transmission du VHC parmi une population clé d'hommes ayant des rapports sexuels avec des hommes, co-infectés par le VIH ou ayant un risque élevé d'acquisition du VIH. Nous avons également observé plusieurs cas d’infections mixtes de génotype du VHC dans cette population, probablement à cause du risque élevé de multiples expositions au VHC. Les questions sur l’avantage de l'UDS dans la recherche en virologie et l'applicabilité de cette technique en clinique ont été posées et vérifiées au travers de multiples types de projets dans cette thèse. L’UDS n’a pas été établi de manière concluante comme étant plus intéressant et bénéfique que la technique de…
