Estudio de interacciones farmacocinéticas del efavirenz con fármacos metabolizados por el CYP450: sertralina, nortriptilina y rifampicina.
2014
En este trabajo se han estudiado las interacciones farmacocinéticas del efavirenz (EFV) con tres fármacos metabolizados por el citocromo P450 (sertralina (SRT), nortriptilina (NT) y rifampicina (RFP)), utilizando la rata como animal de experimentación. El EFV se administró por vía intraduodenal (dosis = 10 mg) y los otros fármacos se administraron por vía intraduodenal (SRT y NT) o por vía oral (RFP). La coadministración de EFV y SRT (dosis de 5 mg y 10 mg) dio lugar a niveles plasmáticos de EFV mayores que los obtenidos en el grupo de control (animales administrados solo con EFV). Cuando se administró la dosis de 10 mg de SRT, se obtuvo un incremento estadísticamente significativo en los v…
Efavirenz induces alterations in lipid metabolism through AMPK activation
2008
Summary of results EFV produced an immediate reduction of mitochondrialfunction, evident by the significant and dose-dependentinhibition of mitochondrial O2 consumption and thedecrease of intracellular ATP and Δψm. This metabolicstress promoted the activation of AMPK, triggering severalof its signalling pathways, as EFV induced an increment inCD36 mRNA expression and in intracellular lipid content,which could have been a result of the formation of lipiddroplets. This intracellular lipid increase was not presentin cells treated with Compound C, which points to a keyrole for AMPK in these mechanisms. Conclusion Given that EFV treatment is usually prolonged, thesemechanisms may effect the gene…
