The susceptibility of genetically divergent HIV-1 strains (HIV-1 non-M) from groups O, N, and P to the CCR5 co-receptor antagonist, maraviroc (MVC), was investigated among a large panel of 45 clinical strains, representative of the viral genetic diversity. The results were compared to the reference strains of HIV-1 group M (HIV-1/M) with known tropism. Among the non-M strains, a wide range of phenotypic susceptibilities to MVC were observed. The large majority of HIV-1/O strains (40/42) displayed a high susceptibility to MVC, with median and mean IC Unlike HIV-1 group M, the scarcity of studies on HIV-1 non-M groups (O, N, and P) presents challenges in understanding their susceptibility to antiretroviral treatments, particularly due to their natural resistance to non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. The TROPI-CO study logically complements our prior investigations into integrase inhibitors and anti-gp120 efficacy. The largest panel of 45 non-M strains existing so far yielded valuable results on maraviroc (MVC) susceptibility. The significant variations in MVC IC50 reveal a spectrum of susceptibilities, with most strains displaying R5 tropism. Notably, the absence of MVC-resistant strains suggests a potential therapeutic avenue. The study also employs a robust novel cell-based phenotropism assay and identifies distinct groups of susceptibilities based on inhibition curve slopes. Our findings emphasize the importance of determining tropism before initiating MVC and provide crucial insights for selecting effective therapeutic strategies in the delicate context of HIV-1 non-M infections.
