Advances in HIV pharmacology: protein binding, pharmacogenomics, and therapeutic drug monitoring.

چکیده
Developing better antiretroviral drugs, individualizing therapy through patient genetic profiling, and maintaining effective drug concentrations with therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) represent 3 current areas of interest in the field of HIV pharmacology. This article first examines antiretroviral drug binding to plasma proteins, a factor that affects the amount of free drug available to enter cells. Protein binding influences drug development, raising questions about whether the drug levels required for appropriate therapeutic effect can be achieved at tolerable doses. Second, individualized antiretroviral therapy has generated considerable interest, but much work remains in the area of pharmacogenomics before this strategy finds a place in clinical practice. Finally, studies are mixed on the benefits of TDM; although such monitoring may be appropriate in some settings, such as pregnancy and pediatrics, data are currently lacking to support its routine use in HIV care. Although data on these pharmacologic strategies do not currently support their widespread clinical application, ongoing research of such strategies offers hope for future improvement of the efficacy of antiretroviral therapy. This article summarizes a presentation given by Charles W. Flexner, MD, at the November 2002 International AIDS Society-USA course in San Diego.

Co-amoxiclav Effects on the Structural and Binding Properties of Human Serum Albumin
Human serum albumin (HSA) is the most abundant plasma protein in the human body. HSA plays an important role in drug transport and metabolism. This protein has a high affinity to a very wide range of materials, including metals such as Cu2+ and Zn2+, fatty acids, amino acids and metabolites such as bilirubin and many drug compounds. In this study, we investigated the effects of co-amoxiclav, as...

متن کاملPharmaceutical Advances and Proteomics Researches
Proteomics enables understanding the composition, structure, function and interactions of the entire protein complement of a cell, a tissue, or an organism under exactly defined conditions. Some factors such as stress or drug effects will change the protein pattern and cause the present or absence of a protein or gradual variation in abundances. Changes in the proteome provide a snapshot of the...
