Basics of Drug Elimination Pharmacodynamic Interactions
Overview of Drug Interactions in HIV Medicine
• Pharmacodynamic defined simply as what the drug does to the body • Select examples in HIV – Antagonistic Antagonistic interaction with zidovudine interaction with zidovudine and and stavudine – binding site competition – Zidovudine and ganciclovir – increased bone marrow toxicity – Stavudine and zalcitabine – increased peripheral neuropathy

CYP450 Metabolism for FDA Approved Medications
Basics of Drug Elimination Pharmacokinetic Interactions • Most common type of interactions in HIV – Absorption – reduced atazanavir absorption when combined with proton pump inhibitors – Distribution – p protein binding displacement g p when warfarin and SMZ/TMP are combined – Metabolism – elevated simvastatin levels when ritonavir inhibits CYP450 enzyme – Elimination – competition for renal elimination with probenicid and penicillin
• Also other transporters such as PGP, OAT, etc
CYP1A2
CYP2D6
CYP3A4
Key points •Majority of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4 & CYP2D6 •CYP3A4 extensivelyy involved with HIV PI/NNRTI and also HCV PI metabolism •Enzymes can be induced or inhibited

Why does it matter in HIV? • Non‐nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors – Efavirenz, nevirapine, & etravirine are 3A4 inducers • Efavirenz also inhibits 3A4, 2C9 & 2C19 • Etravirine is also 2C9 & 2C19 inhibitor • Rilpivirine also 3A4, not as potent as an inducer • Protease inhibitors Protease inhibitors – CYP3A4 substrates & inhibitors – Ritonavir one of most potent 3A4 inhibitors • Inhibits: 2D6, 2C9, 2C19, 1A2, 2E1, P‐glycoprotein • Induces: 3A4, glucuronyl transferase • Cobicistat, booster in Elvitegravir/cobicistat/tenofovir/emtricitabine – CYP3A4 inhibitor • Inhibits: P‐glycoprotein
Grapefruit Juice HCV Protease Inhibitors HIV Protease Inhibitors Itraconzaole Phenytoin Verapamil Voriconazole
