The Plasma, Whole Blood and Intracellular Concentrations of Antiretroviral Agents in South African Children Receiving Combination Antiretroviral Therapy with and without Concomitan... by Ren, Yuan

“…Objectives: 1) To evaluate efavirenz and lopinavir/ritonavir plasma concentrations and determine the effects of rifampicin on efavirenz and lopinavir/ritonavir PK in HIV-infected African children with and without rifampicin-based antitubercular treatment. 2) To develop and validate the dried blood spot (DBS) method as an alternative to conventional plasma methods of drug concentration measurement in TDM. 3) To evaluate in vivo intracellular concentrations of efavirenz and lopinavir/ritonavir in HIV-infected children with and without concomitant antitubercular treatment. 4) To determine the in vitro modulation effects on the intracellular accumulation of efavirenz IV and lopinavir in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) by drug efflux protein inhibitors, as well as frequently co-administered rifampicin and ritonavir (at low dose; as pharmacoenhancer). …”
