Disease relevance of WHI-05

  • The improved potency, as well as the lack of mucosal, systemic and reproductive toxicity of WHI-05 and WHI-07, means that these compounds have clinical potential as safe, prophylactic contraceptives in addition to their microbicide activity to curb the sexual transmission of HIV [1].
  • WHI-05 inhibited the replication of ZDV-sensitive as well as ZDV-resistant strains of HIV in PBMC [2].
 

High impact information on WHI-05

  • Repetitive intravaginal administration of 2% WHI-05 and WHI-07 via a gel-microemulsion to achieve concentrations as high as 6.1 x 10(4) and 5.7 x 10(6) times their respective in vitro anti-HIV IC50 values, and 1200 and 5700 times their spermicidal EC50 values, for up to 13 weeks, was not associated with mucosal, systemic or reproductive toxicity [1].
  • We investigated the TK activity and intracellular metabolism of WHI-05 and WHI-07 in normal human vaginal and cervical epithelial cells as well as sperm [3].
  • These results demonstrate that human female genital tract epithelial cells and sperm efficiently convert WHI-05 and WHI-07 to bioactive ZDV metabolites despite their TK deficiency [3].
  • CASA combined with HR-LVSEM demonstrated that WHI-05-induced SIA was not associated with membrane damage [2].
  • The anti-HIV activities of WHI-05 and ZDV were compared by measuring p24 antigen production and reverse transcriptase activity as markers of viral replication using human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) infected with both ZDV-sensitive and ZDV-resistant strains of HIV [2].

Anatomical context of WHI-05

  • Repetitive intravaginal application of a 2% WHI-05 gel-microemulsion did not damage the vaginal epithelium or cause local inflammation in the rabbit model [2].
 

Associations of WHI-05 with other chemical compounds

  • Thymidine kinase-independent intracellular delivery of bioactive nucleotides by aryl phosphate derivatives of bromo-methoxy zidovudine (compounds WHI-05 and WHI-07) in normal human female genital tract epithelial cells and sperm [3].
  • The sperm immobilizing activity (SIA) of WHI-05 was compared with that of ZDV and nonoxynol-9 (N-9) by computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) [2].
