Development Of Once-A-Year Injectable Formulation Of Cabotegravir For Prevention And Treatment Of Hiv Infection, Tanmay Abhay Kulkarni
Development Of Once-A-Year Injectable Formulation Of Cabotegravir For Prevention And Treatment Of Hiv Infection, Tanmay Abhay Kulkarni
Theses & Dissertations
Long-acting cabotegravir (CAB) extends antiretroviral drug (ARV) dosing to monthly for maintenance of human immunodeficiency virus type one (HIV-1) suppression and to every other month for prevention of viral transmission. However, injection dose volumes, site reactions, and clinical oversights that are required remain obstacles towards broad usage. To meet these needs, surfactant coated hydrophobic and lipophilic CAB prodrugs were created with controlled prodrug dissolution, hydrolysis and drug tissue penetration. To such ends, fatty acid ester CAB nanocrystal prodrugs with 14, 18, and 22 added carbon chains were synthesized then nanoformulated as NMCAB, NM2CAB, and NM3CAB. These nanocrystal formulations were tested …

While antiretroviral therapy (ART) has revolutionized treatment and prevention of human immunodeficiency virus type one (HIV-1) infection, regimen adherence, viral mutations, drug toxicities, stigma and pill fatigue are limitations. These have led to the development of long acting (LA) ART. These include, but are not limited to, implantable devices, new chemical entities, prodrug modifications and nanoformulations. To these ends, this thesis focues on the transformation of nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) into LA parenterals, While elusive, data from our laboratories demonstrated that modifications to the PROdrug and nucleoTide technology (ProTide) enables improvements in drug apparent half-life and tissue and cell …

Synthesis And Characterization Of Long-Acting Rilpivirine Prodrugs, James R. Hilaire
Theses & Dissertations
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) requires lifelong daily dosing to suppress viral replication, restore or maintain immune function and improve quality of life. As an alternative, long-acting (LA) antiretrovirals (ARVs) aim to deliver therapeutic drug concentrations over an extended period, ultimately requiring monthly or even more extended dosing intervals. Specifically, the success of recent clinical trials examining LA cabotegravir and rilpivirine (CAB and RPV LA) highlight the advent of these novel HIV-1 therapeutics. Further optimization of LA dosage forms are required and rests upon improving dosing frequency, injection volumes and tissue distribution to viral compartments. To this end, we report the synthesis …
