Title: Impact of a tenofovir disoproxil fumarate plus ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitor-based regimen on renal function in HIV-infected individuals: a prospective, multicenter study

Tenofovir is a nucleotide analogue human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitor, and its oral prodrug, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, has recently been approved for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in the United States. The objective of this study was to characterize the in vitro susceptibility profiles of a large panel of clinically derived HIV-1 isolates fo...

Background:Tenofovir is among the first-line treatments for chronic hepatitis B (CHB) virus infection. We evaluated the efficacy of Tenofovir in the treatment of Iranian adult patients with CHB. Methods: In a retrospective study, we evaluated 154 HBsAg positive patients referred to Sadoughi hospital in Yazd-Iran for treatment ...

BACKGROUND As a simplification strategy for treatment-experienced HIV-infected patients who have achieved virologic suppression on a multi-drug, multi-class antiretroviral regimen, the aim of this study was to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of once-daily elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir disproxil fumarate (E/C/F/TDF) with darunavir. METHODS A single arm, op...

Abstract (R)-Tenofovir phenyl ester ((R)-1) and (R)-tenofovir diphenyl ((R)-2) are key intermediates for the practical synthesis of tenofovir alafenamide fumarate, which is a mainstay antiretroviral treatment chronic hepatitis B HIV-1 infections. This article deals with chiral analysis (R)-1 (R)-2 against their respective optical impurity (S)-tenofovir ((S)-1) ((S)-2) using polysaccharide-coate...

PrEP is the regular use of an antiretroviral medication by people who are uninfected to prevent the acquisition of HIV infection. Currently Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF/FTC) or tenofovir alone is used. Since 2010, the efficacy of oral PrEP has been shown in four randomised controlled trials [1-4]. In 2015, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended that PrEP should be o...

To prevent acquisition of HIV through oral sex, drugs used for preexposure prophylaxis (Prep) need to diffuse in saliva. We measured tenofovir (TFV) and emtricitabine (FTC) concentrations simultaneously in the plasma and saliva of 41 HIV-infected patients under stable antiretroviral treatment. Mean ratios of saliva/plasma concentration were 3% (±4%) and 86.9% (±124%) for TFV and FTC, respective...
