What's on the New Drug Horizon?
July 2001
A note from TheBody.com: The field of medicine is constantly evolving. As a result, parts of this article may be outdated. Please keep this in mind, and be sure to visit other parts of our site for more recent information!
Today, advances in anti-HIV and anti-HCV research are few and far between. Only a handful of new drugs are in development that block HIV reproduction in new ways. Most in development are simply improved versions or new variations of those now available. Such drugs may only offer small improvements in potency, simpler dosing and reduced side effects. Some will claim to be effective against drug-resistant viruses based on lab tests, but it remains to be seen whether they will truly offer help for people with highly resistant virus. This article briefly reviews these new drugs.
New Protease InhibitorsTipranavir (PNU-140690): Results from a lab study shows that tipranavir is active against almost all the protease inhibitor-resistant viruses tested. In lab studies, it has been difficult to develop resistance to this drug. (This has been true for many other drugs only to later find that it can develop quite readily.)
Early formulations used up to 30 pills a day. A new capsule formulation has been created that allows for better absorption into the body. This new formulation should allow for twice-a-day dosing as well as fewer pills per day.
Tipranavir is also being studied together with ritonavir (Norvir), which greatly boosts its levels. It is hoped that this combination will be useful for people with protease inhibitor resistance. Its development was delayed due to the formulation problem and the fact that it was sold by its original owner, from Pharmacia & Upjohn to Boehringher Ingelheim. Wider access to the drug will probably occur in 2002.
BMS-232632: Bristol-Myers Squibb's first protease inhibitor is designed for once daily dosing. Lab studies suggest that it may remain sensitive to viruses resistant to other protease inhibitors, but it remains to be seen whether this will be the case in people.
One study shows that the drug is reasonably potent. About 60% of the participants achieved viral loads below 400 copies HIV RNA and 40% were below 50 copies after 16 weeks. The most common side effects seen so far are mild-to-moderate diarrhea and elevated bilirubin levels (a measure of liver function), which normalized after stopping or reducing the drug to the lowest dose studied.
New NNRTIsEmivirine (Coactinon, MKC-442): The NNRTI furthest along in development is Triangle Pharmaceuticals' emivirine. Studies show that it has the same resistance patterns as other NNRTIs, and most researchers believe it will not benefit people already resistant to other NNRTIs. Emivirine is dosed twice a day and is quite well tolerated. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal distress and rash, although at a much lower incidence than nevirapine (Viramune).
New NRTIs and NtRTIsFTC (emtricitabine, Coviracil): Triangle Pharmaceuticals' FTC is very similar to 3TC (lamivudine, Epivir) and it has the same resistance profile. However, FTC appears to be more potent and is only dosed once a day. Like 3TC, FTC is also active against hepatitis B.
Tenofovir: Studies show that Gilead Sciences' tenofovir is significantly more potent against HIV than their other drug, adefovir. Tenofovir is also dosed once a day and lab studies suggest that it remains active against most NRTI-resistant viruses. Furthermore, studies show that there are few or no kidney side effects, a common problem with adefovir. Tenofovir is likely to be approved before the end of 2001. The drug is available free of charge under a limited expanded access program for people unable to make an effective combination without it. Call Project Inform's Hotline for more info.
Fusion InhibitorsPentafuside: One drug getting a lot of attention in the past year is pentafuside (T-20), being developed by Trimeris and Hoffman-La Roche. It belongs to a class of drugs called fusion inhibitors, which work by physically blocking HIV from attaching to CD4+ cells.
Studies show that T-20 is effective as third line therapy, even in people who are resistant to all current protease inhibitors. Getting a long-lasting response, however, requires it to be paired with at least one other anti-HIV drug that the person still responds to. Pentafuside has to be given through injection under the skin (subcutaneously) twice a day.
The only significant side effects reported so far are problems at the injection site, ranging from minor discomfort to long-lasting bruises and sores. This can limit a person using the drug since there are only a few places where the injections can be given.
For information on how to participate in drug trials, call 1-800-TRIALS-A or go online to http://hivinsite.ucsf.edu.
Anti-HCV TherapiesPegylated Interferon: The FDA recently approved Schering-Plough's pegylated interferon-alfa (Peg-Intron). This new formulation binds alfa-interferon to a chemical called polyethylene glycol, which makes it stay longer in the bloodstream than standard interferon-alfa.
The FDA approved using peg-interferon alone and not combined with ribavirin (Rebetol). One large study showed that Peg-Intron was about twice as effective in controlling HCV replication than standard interferon-alfa. However, more people developed mild bone marrow suppression.
The results of peg-interferon alone are comparable to those seen with standard HCV therapy (standard interferon-alfa and ribavirin, bundled as Rebetron). However, more recent results suggest that combining peg-interferon with ribavirin will be more effective. Dosed subcutaneously, peg-interferon is dosed only once a week while standard interferon-alfa is dosed three times. Another pegylated interferon-alfa (Pegasys) being developed by Hoffman-La Roche is expected to be approved before the end of 2001. This, too, will be dosed once a week.

Wednesday, May 29: Fishing for a Future
Wednesday, May 29: Fishing for a Future
These are challenging times for New England fisheries, with stocks of cod and haddock falling, federal regulations tightening, and many veterans giving up their boats all together. The question: how to reinvent an industry that helped build our region? Tonight Anthony Everett reports that the answer may depend on skate, hake, dogfish, polloch and welk: so called trash fish that Americans so far refuse to eat in great numbers. Plus, we'll check in on the state of local fish farming, as we sample barrimundi from Turner's Falls and shrimp grown in Stoughton.

For the first time, China's yuan has overtaken the Russian ruble for transactions in the global payment system, according to Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, a financial messaging platform.
The use of the yuan increased 24% in January from December, while that of the ruble declined 5.4%, the Belgium-based SWIFT said in a report today. The Chinese currency accounted for an all-time high of 0.63% of the global payments, making it the 13th most-used currency, compared with 0.56% for the ruble, now the 15th most-used.
China, the world's second-largest economy, is promoting the role of the yuan, also known as RMB, in international trading and financing as it moves to reduce the control over its currency and open up its financial markets. Trading of the yuan outside the mainland has at least doubled to $6 billion a day from a year earlier, said Charles Feng, regional head for fixed- income trading at Standard Chartered Plc. in Hong Kong, last month.
"The RMB continues its ascension towards becoming a major international payments currency," SWIFT said in the report. Offshore financial centers such as Hong Kong, London and Singapore fuel the growth of the yuan payments, Lisa O'Connor, global yuan director at SWIFT, said in the report.
In December, the yuan payments exceeded those of the Danish krone, South African rand and New Zealand dollar, according to the report.
The use of the yuan rose 171% last month from a year earlier, while the ruble's volume increased 18%, according to the report.
SWIFT provides services to more than 10,000 banks, financial institutions and companies in 212 countries, according to its Website.

Informatics professor develops program to help students learn recursion
Gregory Weber, associate professor of informatics, has developed an open source software program to help informatics students to effectively learn recursion by drawing diagrams.
Sifflet is a visual, functional programming language for users to make programs by drawing diagrams to connect functions and other units. Use of Sifflet provides a graphical high-level view of how a complex computation works, and allows users to 'zoom in' to see more details as needed.

SAO PAULO (AP) — Tickets for the 2014 World Cup will go on sale Tuesday and FIFA is expecting similar demand to that from the 2006 tournament in Germany.
Fans from around the world will be allowed to apply for their tickets on FIFA's website beginning at 6 a.m. EDT.
There were about seven applicants for every ticket of the 64-match tournament in 2006, which was attended by more than 3.3 million fans, according to FIFA. Almost 2 million tickets were sold to the general public in South Africa in 2010, although the number of applications during the first ticketing phase was significantly lower.
"It's always difficult to predict," FIFA marketing director Thierry Weil said Monday. "But I truly believe that it will be more toward to what happened in Germany than in South Africa. We believe there will be a huge demand for this World Cup. But again, we will see after the opening."
FIFA expects about 3.3 million tickets to be available for the monthlong tournament in Brazil.
Tickets will cost as low as $90 for first-round matches and will start at $440 for the final at Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. The most expensive ticket for the final will cost $990. Brazilian citizens over 60, local students and members of some social programs can get tickets at $15. In 2010, some South Africans could pay as little as $20.
Fans don't have to rush to try to guarantee a ticket because all applications made through Oct. 10 will enter a random selection draw if there aren't enough tickets available to fulfill all requests.
The sales of the leftover tickets will begin Nov. 5 on a first-come, first-serve basis. Another phase will begin Dec. 8 after the World Cup draw determines where and when each nation will play. The tournament begins June 12, with Brazil playing the opener in Sao Paulo.
Weil said FIFA is confident the ticketing system put in place for next year's World Cup will handle the expected high demand for tickets.
"We can do a lot of simulations but the biggest test will come tomorrow when it all starts," Weil said. "But we are confident that things will work."
FIFA is facing a higher level of complexity in the ticket sales this year because the Brazilian government demanded discount tickets be offered to some citizens, forcing a fourth ticket category. Weil said that added difficulties to the sales operation, especially because of the need to verify the buyers' eligibility to the cheaper price categories.
Nearly 800,000 fans attended the Confederations Cup in Brazil this year, with ticket sales easily surpassing those for the warmup tournament in South Africa in 2009 and in Germany in 2005.
Many fans across Brazil faced difficulties picking up their tickets for the 16-match competition won by Brazil, with lines of up to three hours in some distribution centers. That prompted FIFA to allow fans attending World Cup matches the option of having tickets delivered to their home, although at their own cost.
"We all agree that the Confederations Cup is more than just a test event," Weil said. "But for the operations side it's the best thing that we can have. We learned a lot from what happened there."
Fans buying the discounted tickets will not have the option to receive their tickets at home because they will have to show proof of their eligibility to the cheaper prices at the distribution centers.

We do love a good platformer at Pocket-lint, be it the glory days of Mario and Sonic or the weirdness of classics like Yoshi's Island. Rayman was never one we really got though, the character lacked some of the draw against people like Megaman.
Sadly this meant the Rayman games were wholly ignored on trips to the shops, instead replaced with what were possibly far worse titles. Or a Sega Dreamcast. Either way, we felt it was time to give the armless man a go and grab a play with this newly released iOS app. Turns out we were missing out on quite a bit.
Rayman Jungle Run
- Format
- iPhone/iPad/Android (coming soon)
- Price
- £1.99
- Where
- iTunes
Rayman is pretty no-fuss when it comes to its gameplay style. You get a lot of levels to blast through, while Rayman runs about almost out of control. Abilities are unlockable and there are some rather cool levels that can be unlocked should you manage to rack up some high scores in the single player.
Special mention has to go to the opening screen of the app, which has Rayman sitting playing his guitar and whistling a rather catchy tune. There is one thing we have to mention, which does change the whole way the game plays: Rayman is essentially running full pelt the whole time, you can't stop him. Instead you either jump, fly or choose from many other abilities and then work through a series of stages.
You start with only the ability to run and then things get harder as more abilities are unlocked. The music is also very awesome and worth switching your iPod off for. Retina display graphics top off the whole package, making for a very solid app. Would be nice if it was 69p though.

She's relying on rare radiation to shrink tumor
Device caused 'excruciating' pain.
Sally Lambertus has seen her share of medical clinics and hospital rooms.
The 55-year-old Gothenburg resident has weathered 10 major surgeries—including a stomach staple—and has suffered from kidney stones, diabetes, asthma, thyroid problems, osteoporosis and a compromised immune system most of her life.In the past two years, she's battled flu, pneumonia and low potassium which required hospitalizations.
Yet the worst pain Lambertus has ever felt in her life was eight grueling hours at the University of Nebraska Medical Center on July 1.
That was the day four bolts were screwed into her head that held a halo device made of titanium steel which rested on her shoulders.
"I looked like I had a muzzle on so I wouldn't bite people," Lambertus said, referring to Hannibal Lecter—a character played by Anthony Hopkins in "Silence of the Lambs."
The device locked her head to a table so she wouldn't move for an hour of stereotactic radiation—a procedure not yet done in many medical centers, she said.
"It was bad pressure like my head was in a vise," Lambertus said.
The radiation was necessary to treat a rare benign tumor growing in her inner ear.
"It was pushing into my brain," she said.
Without treatment, Lambertus said doctors told her the tumor would continue to grow, eventually taking away her hearing and finally becoming life threatening.
She could have opted for 30 separate and smaller doses of stereotactic radiation or surgical removal of the tumor.
"Surgery would have meant complete loss of hearing in that area," Lambertus explained. "My doctor and three specialists in Omaha decided that given my other health problems, one high-dose would probably be the best."
Lambertus said she also didn't want to stay in Omaha for the smaller doses of radiation.
For two years, doctors didn't know what was causing her dizziness, headaches, ringing in her ears and her right ear turning bright red.
"The doctors thought it was an allergy at first but did a hearing test and found out I had significant hearing loss in my right ear," Lambertus said, noting that she saw several specialists and had numerous tests.
Her memory started to fail, her vision got worse and she fell in June of 2008 and broke her right ankle.
Finally, in the spring of 2009, she underwent a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan where doctors spotted a tumor they later diagnosed as acoustic neuroma.
According to the Acoustic Neuroma Association, the condition is a non-cancerous tumor that grows on the eighth cranial nerve leading from the brain to the inner ear.
Most acoustic neuromas, that occur in close to two persons per 100,000, are diagnosed in patients between the ages of 30 and 60. More women than men are affected.
Following the radiation, Lambertus said she experienced violent nausea and spent a week in a hospital room receiving intravenous fluids and shots to stop her nausea.
"But I'd do it again (stereotactic radiation) to get the tumor stopped," she said. "My hearing won't get any better but I don't want it to get worse."
Lambertus said she won't know until the first of the year and another MRI if the tumor is shrinking.
"It will always be there unless it's surgically removed," she said. "The doctors will have to keep an eye on it with follow-up MRIs."
Since the surgery, Lambertus said her balance is better but she often feels fatigued.
"I try to remain positive that they stunted it even though some days I don't feel good," she said. "I still try to get up and get things done."
Because of health problems, Lambertus retired from the former Monroe Automotive plant
in 2000 after working there for 27 years.
To keep her mind off her physical ailments, Lambertus reads and listens to music.
She also tries to do something nice for someone each day.
"Even if it's sending a card or a phone call," Lambertus said.
Lambertus said she wanted to tell her story so that people who don't feel well search for an answer to their symptoms.
"Sometimes you have to look or dig deeper or get referred to a specialist and make sure the doctors do other testing," she said.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Malaysia's leader warned voters Thursday that their country risks economic collapse if the opposition wins national elections that must be held by mid-2013.
Prime Minister Najib Razak opened his ruling party's annual congress with a forceful speech urging supporters to brace for what is expected to be one of Malaysia's most intensely fought elections since independence from Britain in 1957.
Najib's United Malays National Organization is determined to reverse setbacks from 2008 polls that triggered the multiethnic government coalition's worst performance in more than five decades of uninterrupted rule.
Najib accused the opposition in a nationally televised speech of banking on false promises to sway voters. He predicted the national debt would soar and Malaysia would lose its economic sovereignty within three years if the opposition wins power.
"Without accurate, careful and critical evaluation, changing the government would be like trusting the mouse to repair the pumpkin or the wolf to safeguard the sheep," Najib told thousands of party officials at their headquarters.
He told party loyalists to battle hard for every vote, stressing that the polls would "be no ordinary elections; it will be the deciding point for the destiny of our people and country."
Opposition lawmaker Tony Pua rejected Najib's warning, saying the prime minister was "desperate to scare" voters with his claim that an opposition-led Malaysia would become like Greece.
"It is the (government) with its continued profligacy that will cause the country to be bankrupt if it is voted back into power," he said.
Critics say Malaysia's ruling coalition had become complacent and corrupt before it lost its longtime two-thirds parliamentary majority in 2008 and was forced to surrender control of several key Malaysian states to opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim's three-party alliance.
Najib must dissolve Parliament by the end of April to pave the way for the next elections. Speculation about early polls has swirled for nearly two years, but the prime minister has refused to reveal his plans for the election's timing.
Government authorities have intensified efforts to win back support over the past year with measures such as channeling more funds to the poor and abolishing security laws that were widely considered repressive.
The opposition insists that only a change of government will resolve problems like graft and racial discrimination. But most analysts believe Najib's ruling coalition will still have the upper hand because of its entrenched support in predominantly rural constituencies.

Another View -- Bob Backus: NH is fighting climate change with responsible policiesBOB BACKUS
June 26. 2014 9:49PM
Recent opinion offerings from the Cato lnstitute (June 18) and the editor ("Political climate change," June 22) suggest that New Hampshire's policy initiatives to control emission of carbon dioxide, the principal global warming gas, are misguided.
The two principal policies are, first, the New Hampshire renewable portfolio standard (RPS), which calls for the state to meet 25 percent of its electric energy needs by 2025 with renewables and, second, the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, or RGGI. They are sound laws that are working.
New Hampshire is one of many states to have an RPS, and for very sound reasons. As stated in the statute's statement of purpose, "Renewable energy generation technologies can provide fuel diversity…through use of local renewable fuels and resources that serve to displace and thereby lower regional dependence on fossil fuels. This has the potential to lower and stabilize future energy costs… ."
But of course, the number one reason to encourage increased use of renewables is to slow the rise of greenhouse gases, which are driving the now indisputably evident present and oncoming climate disruption.
In a major piece in the New York Times on Sunday, June 22, former Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson, a Republican who served President George W. Bush, compared the oncoming climate crisis with the financial meltdown that hit in 2008. "This is a crisis we can't afford to ignore," he writes. "I feel as if I'm watching as we fly in slow motion on a collision course toward a giant mountain. We can see the crash coming, and yet we're sitting on our hands rather than altering course." RPS is one modest step we have taken so that New Hampshire is not sitting on its hands.
The pushback against the various RPS laws is coming mostly from groups funded by the fossil fuel industry, including the Koch brothers. Their disinformation campaign has led one state, Ohio, to freeze the targets of its RPS.
RGGI is the first, and still only, cap-and-trade program in the United States. It included nine Northeastern states, and all New England states, until New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie unilaterally took his state out of the program. For a tiny fee collected through electric rates, it funds energy efficiency projects that return savings year after year to those financing energy savings projects through the programs administered by public utility commissions.
But the most significant part of the law requires that electric utilities "cap" their emissions to meet incrementally stricter standards. They can meet the standards by trading for credits from energy providers that have exceeded their allotments; hence "cap and trade." If they fail to meet the cap limit, or acquire sufficient renewable energy credits, they can pay a fee, the Alternative Compliance Payment.
RGGI has two important attributes. First, it is a market-based program rather than a command-and-control regulatory program. Thus, it should find favor with free-market, anti-government advocates. And it addresses greenhouse gas issues without the major alternative — a carbon tax, which is what Secretary Paulson advocates. Second, it addresses what has been, is now, and will be, the cheapest and fastest way to deal with our energy problems: energy efficiency.
In my career, I have seen one after another "white hope" fall into disfavor, including using nuclear fission to boil water to spin a turbine. More recently I've experienced vociferous opposition in some areas to new commercial wind projects. Yet for more than 30 years the low hanging fruit among energy solutions has been using energy more efficiently, whether by using CLF bulbs, now being displaced by LED lighting, or saving thermal energy through housing retrofits.
And this is where RGGI helps the most. New Hampshire, wisely and uniquely, included saving thermal energy, not just electricity, as part of the program.
One other thing: Thanks to RGGI, New Hampshire will have a much easier time than states that lack the program in meeting the new, tighter emissions requirements announced last month by EPA. Thanks to RGGI and RPS, we are already on the way to meeting the new goals. This will be an economic advantage for our region.
These programs are not perfect, and they are only part of what is required. But they are working. Let's keep and improve them.
Bob Backus is a Manchester attorney and a Democratic state representative.

Wants all of America to be like Kalifornistan..
I don't have the minutes of the meeting (yet), but sources tell me California Senator and longtime gun-hater Dianne Feinstein's legal staff held meetings on Friday with FTB/ATF legal staff to discuss a new "Assault Weapons Ban" Madame Feinstein would be looking to push through Congress if President Obama wins reelection.
This same "pretty good intelligence" says the items that would lead to a ban would ban pistol grips and "high-capacity" magazines, eliminate any grandfathering and ban sales of "weapons in possession".
~Mac Slavo over at SHTFPlan.com cited the Shooting Wire:
I think not.
I am tired of these liberals working so damn hard to impose their socialist views on the rest of us.

WHEATON – A five-point play during a 10-0 run to end the third quarter helped propel the St. Francis boys basketball team to a 73-49 win against Aurora Christian in a Suburban Christian Conference Blue game Saturday.
The Spartans (5-0, 2-0 SCC Blue) led, 50-44, late in the third quarter when Killian Brown was fouled by Aurora Christian's Ryan McQuade as Brown made a basket. McQuade disagreed with the call and was assessed a technical foul.
Brown hit his free throw to complete the three-point play and Andrew Kimball nailed the two technical foul free throws to complete the five-point play.
The Spartans retained possession as a result of the technical foul and increased their lead to 57-44 on another Brown basket. Kimball completed the run and the quarter with a three-pointer for a 60-44 lead.
"It had a major outcome on the game," said Brown, a Geneva resident. "When I made that basket, my teammates were excited and (Aurora Christian) started losing control."
McQuade is the son of Aurora Christian sophomore coach Bob McQuade.
"He'll hear about it from his dad all the way home," Aurora Christian coach Pat McNamara said. "The official made the right call. He said something to the official. You can't say something to the official. I hope he learns something from it."
Matt Bonner hit a bucket to start the fourth, Jason Sullivan hit a pair from the line and Kimball connected from three-point land to put the game out of reach, 67-44, early in the fourth quarter.
"Even though we were up, we knew the game was not over and they could have a streak coming back," Brown said. "We just did what we did all game, moved the ball, played good defense and boxed out."
St. Francis led, 21-15, after one quarter as the Spartans scored four points in the final five seconds on a free throw by Kimball and, following an Eagles' turnover, a three-pointer at the buzzer by Nick Fabianski.
The Eagles (3-3, 0-2) cut the lead by a point and trailed, 39-34, at the half, thanks to 11 points by Cory Windle. Kimball also had 11 points at the half for St. Francis, all of them coming in the first quarter.
"I was not necessarily all that happy with how we were defending in the first half," St. Francis' coach Bob Ward said. "We average allowing in the low 40s for a game and we gave up 34 in the first half alone.
"It wasn't like we made any halftime adjustments. It was more just we're playing a good team with good scorers and we have to rely on what we do and play within the system. I thought in the second half we played much more within our defensive game. We were happy to hold them to 15 points in the second half."
McNamara credited the Spartans with shutting down his team's offense in the second half.
"They did a good job of taking us out of our offensive flow," he said. "And offensively, they broke our defense down. Right now we are a below average team defensively. That is something we're going to have to change. We have a week of practice upcoming and we have to amp our defense up."
Kimball led all scorers with 23 points. Brown had 13 and Jason Pisarski added five rebounds and five assists for the Spartans.
Guard Johnathan Harrell, who usually starts for the Eagles, came off the bench after missing two games with a concussion to score 14 points and grab 10 rebounds.
"I was happy for him," McNamara said. "He is not where he is usually at, but he played pretty well considering he didn't practice all week. He's a vocal leader for us."
Windle finished with 13 points and two steals, and point guard Ryan Suttle scored five points after missing a game earlier this season with a bad case of the hives.
Give them five: Spartans use five-point play to take control against Eagles
WHEATON – A five-point play during a 10-0 run to end the third quarter helped propel the St. Francis boys basketball team to a 73-49 win against Aurora Christian in a Suburban Christian Conference Blue game Saturday.
