Abstract
Traditionally, nanocones as a drug delivery material allow controlled drug delivery close to the target area while reducing the toxicity and generic accumulation associated with traditional intravenous injection methods. In the current study, density functional theory (DFT) is employed to investigate the therapeutic potential of carbon nanocone oxide (ONC) as a carrier with zidovudine drug for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The electronic ground state and excited state were studied to evaluate the drug carrier potential of ONC and Zidovudine-ONC complex. The Frontier Molecular Orbitals (FMOs) and Molecular Electrostatic Potential (MEPs) revealed that the ONC carrier acts as a donor and zidovudine as an acceptor. The FMOs confirmed the interaction between drug and carrier stabilization energy by calculating chemical hardness, material softness, electronegativity, Ionization energy and electron affinity. The natural bond analysis (NBO), non-covalent interaction (NCI) and electron localization function (ELF) revealed the charge transfer between zidovudine and ONC. The density of state (DOS) and Charge Deposition analysis (CDA) provided the charge transfer. To study the excited state of zidovudine, transition density matrix (TDM), UV(Ultra-visible), IR (infrared), Raman, and NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectra of ONC and zidovudine-ONC complex have been plotted. The spectra showed a significant red shift in the zidovudine-ONC complex. Photoinduced electron studies (PET) showed fluorescence quenching because of the interaction between the drug and the carrier and provided a graphical explanation of the distinct excited state. All the results show that the ONC carrier has therapeutic potential as a zidovudine carrier for the treatment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).

Abstract
According to the World Health Organization, sustained virological suppression of 90 % should be achieved among children and adolescents living with HIV / AIDS, which makes it important to assess the prevalence of virological failure of antiretroviral therapy. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of virological failure and the clinical factors associated with it, as well as therapeutic drug monitoring in groups divided by the viral load level among children and adolescents with HIV. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis of the medical records of 184 children and adolescents receiving antiretroviral therapy and registered at the Irkutsk Regional Center for the Prevention and Control of AIDS and Infectious Diseases, Irkutsk, was carried out. The study included 172 children aged 1-18 years with perinatal HIV infection. Patients were divided into groups depending on the level of viral load: group 1 – 21 patients with viral load > 1000 copies/ml of plasma, group 2 – 42 patients with viral load 50– 1000 copies/ml of plasma, group 3 – 109 patients with undetectable viral load (< 50 copies/ml). All patients underwent standard tests in accordance with clinical guidelines for the treatment of HIV infection in children, as well as therapeutic drug monitoring. Results. Against the background of ongoing antiretroviral therapy, a significant number of patients 21 / 172 (12,2 %) experienced virological failure. The proportion of children and adolescents with incomplete suppression of HIV replication is 42 / 172 (24,4 %). Statistically significant differences were obtained by changing the ART regimen (p = 0,031). In the first group, the proportion of patients who changed the therapy regimen is 7 / 21 (33,3 %), which is two times less than in the group with a zero viral load of 70 / 109 (64,2 %). There are differences in the proportion of children and adolescents with zero concentrations of ritonavir and lopinavir (p = 0,020 and p = 0,012) in the three compared groups. The distribution of patients with zero concentrations was as follows: for ritonavir in the first group 3 / 17 (17,6 %), in the second – 8/37 (21,6 %), in the third group – 4/80 (5 %); for lopinavir – 4/17 (23,5 %), 6/36 (16,7 %), 3/80 (3,8 %), respectively. Conclusion. This study demonstrates that the prevalence of virological failure among children and adolescents receiving ART remains high. To achieve sustained virological suppression in children and adolescents taking a protease inhibitor regimen, adherence to therapy must be increased. As one of the methods for assessing adherence, therapeutic drug monitoring can be used.

Age- and Genotype-Dependent Variability in the Protein Abundance and Activity of Six Major Uridine Diphosphate-Glucuronosyltransferases in Human Liver. Clin Pharmacol Ther 2019; 105:131-141.

Abstract
The ontogeny of hepatic uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) was investigated by determining their protein abundance in human liver microsomes isolated from 136 pediatric (0-18 years) and 35 adult (age >18 years) donors using liquid chromatography / tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) proteomics. Microsomal protein abundances of UGT1A1, UGT1A4, UGT1A6, UGT1A9, UGT2B7, and UGT2B15 increased by ∼8, 55, 35, 33, 8, and 3-fold from neonates to adults, respectively. The estimated age at which 50% of the adult protein abundance is observed for these UGT isoforms was between 2.6-10.3 years. Measured in vitro activity was generally consistent with the protein data. UGT1A1 protein abundance was associated with multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms exhibiting noticeable ontogeny-genotype interplay. UGT2B15 rs1902023 (*2) was associated with decreased protein activity without any change in protein abundance. Taken together, these data are invaluable to facilitate the prediction of drug disposition in children using physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling as demonstrated here for zidovudine and morphine.

Abstract
AIMS The main goal of the study was to describe the pharmacokinetics of maternal zidovudine (ZDV) administration during pregnancy and labour and to evaluate their impact on fetal concentrations and exposures. METHODS A total of 195 HIV-infected pregnant and non-pregnant women aged 16-59 years were included and 273 maternal and 79 cord blood ZDV concentrations were collected. A population pharmacokinetic model was developed to describe ZDV concentrations as a function of time in the mother and the fetus. Fetal exposures resulting from maternal oral administration and infusion were estimated and compared with therapeutic exposures (3-5 mg l(-1) h) and to exposure providing higher risk of toxicity (>8.4 mg l(-1) h). Different protocols for ZDV administration during labour were simulated. RESULTS The median fetal exposure and the percentage of children with values above 8.4 mg l(-1) h were 3.20 mg l(-1) h and 0% after maternal oral administration, respectively, and 9.71 mg l(-1) h and 51% after maternal infusion during labour. Two options were considered to reduce fetal exposure during labour: (i) maternal infusion rates could be 1 mg kg(-1) h(-1) during 1 h followed by 0.5 mg kg(-1) h(-1) and (ii) the mother could only take oral ZDV every 5 h from start of labour until delivery with her neonate having their first ZDV dose as soon as possible after birth. CONCLUSIONS Zidovudine exposures are very important during labour and during the first days of a neonate's life. Maternal ZDV dose should be reduced in addition to the neonate doses reduction already proposed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) is available in a liquid formulation that is far from ideal for treatment of children in resource-poor settings. Flexible, low-cost, solid, oral fixed-dose combinations (FDC) of LPV/r with nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (LPV/r/abacavir [ABC]/lamivudine [3TC] and LPV/r/zidovudine [ZDV]/3TC) are needed to improve both management and adherence of children. This work aimed to develop appropriate drug ratios and dosing for each FDC. METHODS Data from 25 combined datasets included therapeutic drug monitoring and clinical studies from IMPAACT and PENTA. Population pharmacokinetic analyses were performed using Monolix. Monte-Carlo simulations of WHO and FDA dosing recommendations were performed to assess their ability to provide optimal exposure in children weighing 4 to 25 kg based on consensus plasma targets. The LPV/r:3TC:ZDV(ABC) dose ratios were 2.67:1:2(2), respectively. RESULTS Using WHO dosage, LPV efficacy target was reached in all weight bands. Given the recommended drug ratios, the dosage for the 4-5.9 kg weight band (LPV/ZDV: 120/90 mg twice daily [bid]) showed more than 20% of subjects had ZDV levels at high risk of neutropenia. Reducing the LPV/ZDV dose to 80/60 mg bid decreased frequency of high ZDV concentrations but retained the LPV efficacy criteria. CONCLUSIONS This defined a flexible and simple FDC containing 40 mg LPV, 10 mg ritonavir, 15 mg 3TC and 30 mg ABC or ZDV. According to the weight bands defined by WHO, 4-5.9 kg, 6-9.9 kg, 10-13.9 kg, 14-19.9 kg, 20-24.9 kg, therapeutic doses would be 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 individual units administered by oral route bid.
