Abstract
This work aimed to evaluate the total, unbound, renal, and hepatic clearances of raltegravir (RAL) and the formation and elimination clearances of raltegravir glucuronide (RAL GLU) in pregnant women living with HIV. The participants received RAL 400 mg twice daily during the third trimester (n = 15) of gestation, delivery (n = 15), and the postpartum period (n = 8). Pharmacokinetic parameter values were calculated on the basis of plasma and urine data using noncompartmental methods. RAL clearances for the third trimester of gestation were as follows: total clearance: geometric mean, 63.63 L/h (95% CI, 47.5-85.25); renal clearance: geometric mean, 2.56 L/h (95% CI, 1.96-3.34); hepatic clearance: geometric mean, 60.52 L/h (95% CI, 44.65-82.04); and unbound clearance: geometric mean, 281.14 L/h (95% CI, 203.68-388.05). RAL GLU formation and elimination clearances for the third trimester of gestation were 7.57 L/h (95% CI, 4.94-11.6) and 8.71 L/h (95% CI, 6.71-11.32), respectively. No differences were observed in RAL GLU pharmacokinetic parameters between the third trimester of gestation and the postpartum period, except for higher formation (7.57 vs 4.03 L/h) and elimination (8.71 vs 4.92 L/h) clearances during the third trimester. The findings based on plasma and urine data are consistent with an increase in the hepatic uridine 5' diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase isoenzymes activities involved in RAL metabolism during pregnancy, and the formation of RAL GLU is a minor route of RAL elimination. Compared to the postpartum period, in the third trimester of gestation, the similar RAL plasma exposure in pregnant women reinforces the maintenance of an RAL regimen including a 400-mg oral dose twice daily during pregnancy.

Abstract
The advent of HIV-Integrase inhibitors (IN) has marked a significant impact on the lives of HIV patients. Since the launch of the first anti retro-viral drug "Azidothymidine" to the recent advances of IN inhibitors, about 27.4 million people benefit by antiretroviral therapy (ART). The path had been challenging due to many crossroads, leading to the discovery of newer targets. One such recent ART target is Integrase. Use of Integrase inhibitors has surpassed the usage of all other ART owing to a strong barrier to resistance and have been reported to be the first-line therapy. Raltegravir, Elvitegravir, Dolutegravir and Bictegravir are US FDA approved IN inhibitors. The high usage of ART created an opportunity to study various analytical techniques for IN inhibitors. Hitherto, no review encompassing all IN inhibitors is presented. Herein, this review describes the analytical techniques employed for IN inhibitors estimation and quantification reported in the literature and official compendia. Literature suggests that most studies focus on LC-MS/MS and HPLC methods for drug estimation, and few reports suggest spectrophotometric, spectrofluorimetric and electrochemical methods. Furthermore, the review presents the techniques that describe the quantification of integrase drugs in various matrices. Although, antiretroviral drugs are extensively used but data suggests that limited studies have been conducted for determination of impurity profile and stability. This therefore, presents a scope to detect and validate impurities in order to meet ICH guidelines for their limits and further to improve the quality and safety of antiretroviral drugs.

Dybowski MP, Dawidowicz AL, Typek R, Rombel M. Conversion of cannabidiol (CBD) to Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) during protein precipitations prior to plasma samples analysis by chromatography - Troubles with reliable CBD quantitation when acidic precipitation agents are applied. Talanta 2020; 220:121390. [PMID: 32928411 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2020.121390] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2020] [Revised: 07/04/2020] [Accepted: 07/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
The growing popularity of supplements containing cannabidiol (CBD), mainly CBD oils, in self-medication of humans and the increased interest in this compound in different preclinical and clinical trials stimulates the development of procedures of CBD analysis in plasma for the study of CBD pharmacology in people and animals or in establishing dose-therapeutic effect relationships of this compound. Preliminary removal of protein by its precipitation from plasma is still one of the willingly applied plasma sample preparation methods in many analytical procedures estimating plasma drug concentration, including CBD. The present paper shows that a significant amount of CBD transforms to Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) in a hot GC injection system when acidic precipitation agents, such as TFA, TCA, HClO4, H2SO4, ZnSO4 or CHCl3, are used for plasma protein precipitation. The transformation degree depends on the temperature of the GC injector, the concentration of the precipitation agent and the incubation time of plasma with the precipitating agent. At the CBD plasma concentration equal to 50 ng/ml, which is approximately the mean level for patients treated for epileptic syndromes, the CBD transformation degree can exceed 20%. For a reliable estimate of CBD in blood plasma, neutral precipitation agents (e.g. ACN, MeOH, acetone) should be used when plasma deproteinization precedes GC analysis. The presented results are important not only for analysts cooperating with pharmacologists and for medicine doctors examining the activity of CBD-containing drugs in the therapeutic process, but also for forensic scientists who may erroneously find innocent people guilty of using marijuana or its preparations.
