Intracellular Tenofovir and Emtricitabine Anabolites in Genital, Rectal, and Blood Compartments from First Dose to Steady State.
AIDS Research and Human Retroviruses 2016 October
The pharmacokinetics (PK) of tenofovir-diphosphate (TFV-DP) and emtricitabine-triphosphate (FTC-TP), the active anabolites of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), and emtricitabine (FTC) in blood, genital, and rectal compartments was determined in HIV-positive and seronegative adults who undertook a 60-day intensive PK study of daily TDF/FTC (plus efavirenz in HIV positives). Lymphocyte cell sorting, genital, and rectal sampling occurred once per subject, at staggered visits. Among 19 HIV-positive (3 female) and 21 seronegative (10 female) adults, TFV-DP in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) accumulated 8.6-fold [95% confidence interval (CI): 7.2-10] from first-dose to steady-state concentration (Css) versus 1.7-fold (95% CI: 1.5-1.9) for FTC-TP. Css was reached in ∼11 and 3 days, respectively. Css values were similar between HIV-negative and HIV-positive individuals. Css TFV-DP in rectal mononuclear cells (1,450 fmol/106 cells, 898-2,340) was achieved in 5 days and was >10 times higher than PBMC (95 fmol/106 cells, 85-106), seminal cells (22 fmol/106 cells, 6-79), and cervical cells (111 fmol/106 cells, 64-194). FTC-TP Css was highest in PBMC (5.7 pmol/106 cells, 5.2-6.1) and cervical cells (7 pmol/106 cells, 2-19) versus rectal (0.8 pmol/106 cells, 0.6-1.1) and seminal cells (0.3 pmol/106 cells, 0.2-0.5). Genital drug concentrations on days 1-7 overlapped with estimated Css, but accumulation characteristics were based on limited data. TFV-DP and FTC-TP in cell sorted samples were highest and achieved most rapidly in CD14+ compared with CD4+ , CD8+ , and CD19+ cells. Together, these findings demonstrate cell-type and tissue-dependent cellular pharmacology, preferential accumulation of TFV-DP in rectal mononuclear cells, and rapid distribution into rectal and genital compartments.
