Biological Activity of Efavirenz

DescriptionEfavirenz is a potent inhibitor of the wild-type HIV-1 RT (Ki=2.93 nM) and exhibits IC95 of 1.5 nM for the inhibition of HIV-1 replicative spread in cell culture.In Vitro:Efavirenz (L-743726) is found to be capable of inhibiting, with 95% inhibitory concentrations of ≤ 1.5μM, a panel of nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitors (NNRTIs)-resistant mutant viruses, each of which expresses a single RT amino acid substitution. Efavirenz is also tested for its activity against a variety of polymerase enzymes and is found to be inactive (IC50>300μM). Efavirenz effectively inhibits several wild-type T-lymphoid cell line-adapted variants. Identical activity (IC95, 1.5 to 3.0 nM) is seen with wild-type primary isolates of the virus in both primary lymphoid and monocytoid cell cultures. Efavirenz also effectively inhibits HIV-1 variants that expressed RT amino acid substitutions which confer the loss of susceptibility to other NNRTIs. For purposes of comparison[1]. Efavirenz is a non-nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) with IC50 of 60 nM[2]. Efavirenz inhibits synthesis using an RNA PPT-primed substrate with an IC50 of 17 nM[3].In Vivo:After i.v. administration, Efavirenz (L-743726) is cleared rapidly from rats, but it is cleared considerably more slowly from monkeys. The large volume of distribution (two to four times the amount of body water) in both species indicates extensive tissue binding. The oral bioavailability in rats is 16%. In monkeys, the half-life of Efavirenz after administration of a 1 mg/kg i.v. dose exceeded 2.5 h. Efavirenz is well absorbed orally. Administration to monkeys of oral doses as fine suspensions in 0.5% aqueous methylcellulose yields consistently high levels in plasma. A 2.0 mg/kg dose produces peak levels of 0.5μM at approximately 3.0 h. The absolute bioavailability is estimated to be 42%. A 10 mg/kg dose yields a peak level in plasma of 3.22 μM. A 10 mg/kg oral dose given to a single chimpanzee gave concentrations in plasma of 4.12, 2.95, and 2.69 μM at 2, 8, and 24 h after dosing, respectively[1].

Protocol

Kinase Assay [1]
Recombinant RT enzymes are expressed, purified, and assessed for inhibition by Efavirenz (L-743726). Ki and Kii values are determined for each enzyme tested. The wild-type RT exhibited exclusively noncompetitive inhibition kinetics (data not shown), and, therefore, the Ki and Kii values are identical. Pure noncompetitive inhibition is not assumed for the mutant enzymes, and, hence, the values of both Ki and Kii are obtained from the linear mixed-type inhibition equation. The two- to threefold differences between the Ki and Kii values probably reflect a small contribution of competitive inhibition with the mutant RTs[1].

Animal Administration [1]
Mice[1] Studies are performed in rats, rhesus monkeys, and a single chimpanzee. For analyses of the drug given to rats intravenously (i.v.), a group (n=4 or 5) of fasted male Sprague-Dawley rats (weight, 250 to 450 g) receive a bolus (at a volume of 1mL/kg of body weight) of Efavirenz in DMSO via a cannula implanted in the right jugular vein. For oral studies, rats are dosed by gavage by using a suspension of Efavirenz prepared in 0.5% aqueous methylcellulose. Similarly, four monkeys receive either an i.v. bolus of the compound in DMSO via the saphenous vein at a volume of 0.1 mL/kg or are administered the compound orally in suspension by using a nasogastric tube. Monkeys are fasted for 18 h prior to dosing. One nonanesthetized, nonfasted male chimpanzee (weight, approximately 60 kg) is dosed orally by voluntary ingestion by using an aqueous suspension of the compound. In all studies, heparinized blood is obtained at appropriate times. Plasma is separated immediately by centrifugation and is stored at -20°C until analysis. Plasma samples are extracted with methylene chloride; this is followed by analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography.

Background on Efavirenz

Efavirenz is a highly potent inhibitor of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase with Ki value of 2.93nM [1].

Efavirenz is an antiretroviral drug approved by the FDA in 1998. It is usually used in a combination therapy with other antiretroviral drugs. Efavirenz is a potent inhibitor of both wild-type HIV-1 RT and HIV-1 variants which express series of NNRTI resistance-associated amino acid substitutions. The Ki value of efavirenz against the purified wild-type HIV-1 RT is 2.93nM. For the mutants A98G, L100I, K101G and K103N, the Ki values are 3.85nM, 17.13nM, 7.27nM and 17.6nM, respectively. Efavirenz is also a selective inhibitor of HIV-1 RT. It shows no inhibitory activity against a variety of polymerase enzymes including avian myeloblastosis virus RT, Moloney murine leukemia virus RT, human DNA polymerases and Escherichia coli RNA polymerase. In the acute infection assay, efavirenz also exerts potency with both wild-type HIV-1 RT (IC95s ranging from 1.5nM-3nM) and mutant HIV-1 RT [1, 2].

Association of IL10, IL4, IFNG, and CTLA4 Gene Polymorphisms with Efavirenz Hypersensitivity Reaction in Patients Infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus.[Pubmed:28250252]

Jpn J Infect Dis. 2017 Jul 24;70(4):430-436.

We evaluated interleukin-10 (IL10) 592 C/A, IL4589 C/T, interferon gamma (IFNG)874 A/T, cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA4)49 A/G gene polymorphisms associated with Efavirenz hypersensitivity reaction. A total of 63 human immunodeficiency virus-positive patients under treatment at a public hospital were included in the study, of whom 21 presented with Efavirenz hypersensitivity. Patients who presented with Efavirenz hypersensitivity reaction showed a higher frequency of the IL10 592A allele than the controls (p0.028). The allele A was associated with increased risk of Efavirenz hypersensitivity (odds ratio2.40). In case of IL4, a significant difference in the frequency of the IL4 589 (C/T) polymorphism was not observed between patients and controls. A significant inverse correlation was observed when comparing the CTLA449A/G and IL4 589 C/T polymorphisms (r0.650, p0.001); that is, the CTLA4 +49GG genotype, involved with the lowest capacity of inhibition, was inversely correlated IL4589TT genotype, which induces high production of IL-4. With respect to the CTLA449A/G and IFNG874T/A gene polymorphisms, significant differences in allele and genotype frequencies were not observed between the groups. Therefore, our data suggest that polymorphisms in regulatory regions of cytokine genes could modulate an individual's susceptibility to Efavirenz hypersensitivity reaction.

Switching from efavirenz, emtricitabine, and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate to tenofovir alafenamide coformulated with rilpivirine and emtricitabine in virally suppressed adults with HIV-1 infection: a randomised, double-blind, multicentre, phase 3b, non-inferiority study.[Pubmed:28259776]

Lancet HIV. 2017 May;4(5):e205-e213.

BACKGROUND: Tenofovir alafenamide is a prodrug that reduces tenofovir plasma concentrations by 90% compared with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, thereby decreasing bone and renal risks. The coformulation of rilpivirine, emtricitabine, and tenofovir alafenamide has recently been approved, and we aimed to investigate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of switching to this regimen compared with remaining on coformulated Efavirenz, emtricitabine, and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. METHODS: In this randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, non-inferiority trial, HIV-1-infected adults were enrolled at 120 hospitals and outpatient clinics in eight countries in North America and Europe. Participants were virally suppressed (HIV-1 RNA <50 copies per mL) on Efavirenz, emtricitabine, and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for at least 6 months before enrolment and had creatinine clearance of at least 50 mL/min. Participants were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive a single-tablet regimen of rilpivirine (25 mg), emtricitabine (200 mg), and tenofovir alafenamide (25 mg) or to continue a single-tablet regimen of Efavirenz (600 mg), emtricitabine (200 mg), and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (300 mg), with matching placebo. Investigators, participants, study staff, and those assessing outcomes were masked to treatment group. The primary endpoint was the proportion of participants with plasma HIV-1 RNA of less than 50 copies per mL at week 48 (assessed by the US Food and Drug Administration snapshot algorithm), with a prespecified non-inferiority margin of 8%. This study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02345226. FINDINGS: Between Jan 26, 2015, and Aug 27, 2015, 875 participants were randomly assigned and treated (438 with rilpivirine, emtricitabine, and tenofovir alafenamide and 437 with Efavirenz, emtricitabine, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate). Viral suppression at week 48 was maintained in 394 (90%) of 438 participants assigned to the tenofovir alafenamide regimen and 402 (92%) of 437 assigned to the tenofovir disoproxil fumarate regimen (difference -2.0%, 95.001% CI -5.9 to 1.8), demonstrating non-inferiority. 56 (13%) of 438 in participants in the rilpivirine, emtricitabine, and tenofovir alafenamide group experienced treatment-related adverse events compared with 45 (10%) of 437 in the Efavirenz, emtricitabine, and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate group. INTERPRETATION: Switching to rilpivirine, emtricitabine, and tenofovir alafenamide from Efavirenz, emtricitabine, and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate was non-inferior in maintaining viral suppression and was well tolerated at 48 weeks. These findings support guidelines recommending tenofovir alafenamide-based regimens, including coformulation with rilpivirine and emtricitabine, as initial and ongoing treatment for HIV-1 infection.

CYP2B6 genotype-directed dosing is required for optimal efavirenz exposure in children 3-36 months with HIV infection.[Pubmed:28323755]

AIDS. 2017 May 15;31(8):1129-1136.

OBJECTIVES: To determine safety-specific, efficacy-specific and genotypic-specific dose requirements of Efavirenz (EFV) in children aged 3 to less than 36 months with HIV infection. DESIGN: IMPAACT P1070 was a 24-week prospective cohort trial of EFV (as open capsules) and two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors in children with HIV infection 3 to less than 36 months without tuberculosis (Cohort 1). METHODS: CYP2B6 G516T genotype was determined, and intensive pharmacokinetics was performed at week 2. EFV dose was adjusted if outside the target area under the curve (AUC) 35-180 mug*h/ml. Pharmacokinetic and CYP2B6 G516T genotype data were used to model EFV exposures based on Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved doses. RESULTS: Forty-seven participants, median age 19 months, initiated the study regimen with 24 weeks median follow-up; 38 516GG/GT and 9 516TT genotypes. Initially, median EFV AUC was higher in 516TT vs. 516GG/GT (median 490 vs. 107 mug*h/ml; P = 0.0001) with all 516TT above AUC target. Following an amendment that reduced the 516TT EFV dose by 75%, pharmacokinetic modeling predicted that 83% of participants met the AUC target (31/38 516GG/GT, 8/9 516TT). In contrast, modeling using P1070 data predicted that FDA-approved doses would produce subtherapeutic AUCs in almost one-third of participants with 516GG/GT and excessive AUCs in more than 50% with 516TT genotypes. CONCLUSION: CYP2B6 G516T genotype strongly influences EFV exposures in this age group. Genotype-directed dosing yields therapeutic EFV concentrations and appears to outperform other dosing approaches.

Does efavirenz replacement improve neurological function in treated HIV infection?[Pubmed:28247479]

HIV Med. 2017 Oct;18(9):690-695.

OBJECTIVES: The contribution of specific antiretroviral drugs to cognitive function in HIV-infected people remains poorly understood. Efavirenz (EFV) may plausibly cause cognitive impairment. The objective of this study was therefore to determine whether chronic EFV therapy is a modifier of neurocognitive and neurometabolic function in the setting of suppressive highly active antiretroviral therapy. METHODS: We performed an open-label phase IV controlled trial. Adult subjects who were stable on suppressive EFV therapy for at least 6 months were switched to ritonavir-boosted lopinavir (LPV/r) with no change in the nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) backbone. The following parameters were assessed before and 10 weeks after therapy switch: cognitive function (by CogState((R)) computerized battery); brain metabolites (by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy); brain activity [by attentional processing task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging]; and sleep quantity and quality [by sleep diary, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale]. RESULTS: Sixteen subjects completed the study. Despite most subjects (81%) self-reporting memory problems at baseline, cognitive function, brain metabolites, and brain activity showed no change at 10 weeks after switch. Sleep quality improved on switch off EFV [mean PSQI (standard deviation): EFV, 8.5 (6.5); LPV/r, 5.8 (5.5); mean difference -0.4; 95% confidence interval -6.0 to -0.7]. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study to assess the effects of chronic EFV therapy on neurological function in a controlled setting. We conclude that EFV withdrawal is unlikely to result in significant modification of neurocognitive function in otherwise stable HIV-infected people.
