説明
Efavirenz D5 was launched as Sustiva in the US for the treatment of infection by HIV, the virus causing AIDS, in combination with other anti-retroviral agents.
Efavirenz D5 is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) belonging to the 3,1-benzoxazin-2-one chemical class. It is the third non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor to have been launched to date, after Nevirapine (1996) and Delavirdine (1997), increasing the arsenal of anti-HIV drugs for treating infected patients in dual or triple combination with nucleoside or other non-nucleoside RTIs, or protease inhibitors.
Efavirenz D5 can be obtained by two related ways of six steps from 4-chloroaniline ; one of them is based on asymmetric synthesis by enantioselective addition of an acetylide to a trifluoroacetophenone. The anti-HIV activity of Efavirenz D5 was demonstrated against most wild-type and clinical strains of HIV-1, including those with the most frequently observed mutations. Efavirenz D5 has a better pharmacokinetic profile when compared with the preceding drugs of this class ; in particular, in a long-term experiment conducted in cynomolgus monkeys, Efavirenz D5 was shown to easily cross the blood brain barrier leading to an increase of the antiviral concentration in cerebrospinal fluid.

使用
Efavirenz D5 is a nonnucleoside HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitor. Antiviral
適応症
Efavirenz (Sustiva) is approved for the therapy of HIV
infection of adults and children and is also used for postexposure
prophylaxis. It is the only NNRTI approved
for once-daily dosing. Rash, although rarely severe, is a
common adverse effect of efavirenz. Elevated liver enzymes
and serum cholesterol also may occur. Central
nervous system (CNS) effects in approximately half of
patients may include dizziness, headache, insomnia,
drowsiness, euphoria, agitation, impaired cognition,
nightmares, vivid dreams, and hallucinations. These effects
often subside after several weeks to months of
therapy.
定義
ChEBI: 1,4-Dihydro-2H-3,1-benzoxazin-2-one substituted at the 4 position by cyclopropylethynyl and trifluoromethyl groups (S configuration) and at the 6 position by chlorine. A non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor wit
activity against HIV, it is used with other antiretrovirals for combination therapy of HIV infection.
獲得抵抗性
One or more single-codon substitutions in the HIV reverse
transcriptase genome at positions 100, 103, 106, 108, 181,
188, 190 and 225 confer reduced susceptibility. Many, but
not all, of these point mutations confer reduced susceptibility
to other non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors.
一般的な説明
Efavirenz D5 (Sustiva)84 is also mandated for use with at leasttwo other antiretroviral agents. The compound is morethan 99% protein bound, and CSF concentrations exceedthe free fraction in the serum. Metabolism occurs in theliver. The half-life of a single dose of Efavirenz D5 is 52 to 76hours, and 40 to 55 after multiple doses (the drug inducesits own metabolism). Peak concentration is achieved in 3to 8 hours. Elimination is 14% to 34% in urine (as metabolites)and 16% to 41% in feces (primarily as Efavirenz D5).The oral dosage form is supplied as a capsule.
応用例(製薬)
Efavirenz D5 is a synthetic heterocyclic compound formulated for oral administration.
薬理学
Efavirenz interacts with many drugs via the cytochrome
P450 pathways. It induces and is metabolized
by CYP3A4 and inhibits CYP2C9 and CYP2C19. It
should not be given with cisapride, ergot alkaloids, midazolam,
or triazolam because of the potential for lifethreatening
reactions. Efavirenz has the potential to
decrease blood levels of methadone, rifabutin, ketoconazole,
and itraconazole. It may inhibit the metabolism
of drugs such as alosetron, diazepam, ethinyl estradiol,
imipramine, losartan, omeprazole, warfarin,
tolbutamide, and topiramate. Efavirenz interacts with
cytochrome P450 inducers and substrates (e.g., phenytoin,
phenobarbital) in a complex manner; blood levels
and side effects should be closely monitored. Patients
taking efavirenz should avoid herbal preparations containing
St. John’s wort because the herb induces
CYP3A4 and may cause drug failure or viral resistance.
Saquinavir should not be used as the sole protease inhibitor
in a regimen containing efavirenz.

Absorption and distribution
Bioavailability following a standard high-fat meal was increased by an average of 50%, but was unaffected by a standard meal. Distribution into body tissues and fluids has not been fully characterized. It penetrates moderately well into the CNS. The semen:plasma ratio is 0.09 (0.03–0.43). The mean concentration in breast milk is 3.51 mg/L; significant linear correlations have been found between maternal plasma and breast milk.
Metabolism and excretion
It is metabolized by cytochrome P
450 systems to hydroxylated intermediates and excreted after subsequent glucuronidation. Metabolites are not active against HIV.
It is excreted principally in the feces, both as metabolites and unchanged drug. Up to 34% is recovered in the urine, <1% as unchanged drug. Given this, the impact of renal impairment on efavirenz is likely to be minimal. Caution is recommended in patients with mild–moderate liver disease; it is contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic impairment.
Dose adjustment is unnecessary when it is co-administered with HIV protease inhibitors or rifampicin (rifampin).
臨床応用
Treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults and children (in combination with
other antiretroviral drugs)
副作用
The most common (>5%, moderate–severe) adverse effects associated with Efavirenz D5 therapy are rash, dizziness, nausea, headache, fatigue, insomnia and vomiting. Rash occurs in up to 26% of patients, mostly in the first 2 weeks of therapy. It usually resolves within 1 month, but is sufficiently severe to limit treatment in a few cases.
Dizziness, insomnia, somnolence, impaired concentration, abnormal dreaming and other CNS disturbances have been reported in around 52% of clinical trial participants, with events of moderate to severe intensity occurring in about 3% of patients. Rare (0.2% of patients) episodes of severe delusional or inappropriate behavior and severe acute depression have also been reported. The symptoms commonly begin in the first 2 weeks of treatment but often resolve or substantially improve within a month.
Elevations in serum hepatic transaminase to levels more than five times the upper limit of normal are observed in about 3% of patients and 8% of those co-infected with viral hepatitis B or C.
