Scientists at a Washington-based pharmaceutical firm are preparing for a third phase of their clinical experiment that hopes to develop a drug they believe would force the HIV to over-replicate and create mutations in its genetic make-up, which ultimately destroys the virus from the human body.
Koronis Pharmaceuticals reported in Discovery Channel’s website that the drug, called KP-1461, inserts itself in the genetic replication process, thus causing mutations. These mutations would then multiply the virus to the point it can no longer function.
The results of the previous studies, which will be published, were mixed. According to the Discovery Channel website, some patients had no improvement in their viral load, while others saw a dramatic drop. Current HIV treatments include disrupting the virus’ ability to reproduce, but not eliminating the virus from the body.
While this experimental treatment may appear to be fascinating, concerns from different sectors remain, especially whether the drug that aims to change the genetic structure of a virus might impact the genes of a person.
As of yet, KP-1461 does not have any known side effects, but the Food and Drug Administration worries that a drug that induces mutation in a virus could also develop dangerous mutations in the patient’s DNA.
"So far it doesn’t appear to cause short-term mutations in animal models, but longer term studies are necessary to eliminate the possibility," said Robert Smith, professor at the University of Washington who researches about lethal mutagenic drugs. "We will keep an eye on this drug as it continues to make its way through the drug approval process."

I am using the same web theme on my own however for whichever factor it looks to reload quicker on your blog although this site features a lot more multimedia. Are you currently operating any sort of plugins or widgets that will quicken it up?

I think it is a really point of view. I often meet people who rather say what they suppose others want to hear. Good and well written! I will come back to your site for sure!
Most of the times i visit a blog i get disappointed. On the contrary,I have to say that you have done a good job here.
Great blog. Your site is fantastic. I will back soon here.
The next time I read a site, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I actually thought youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you werent too busy looking for attention.
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You clearly know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just articlesing videos to your blog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?
