Abstract
Two methods are described for the simultaneous determination of lamivudine (3TC) and stavudine (d4T) in combined pharmaceutical tablets. The first method depends on first derivative UV-spectrophotometry with zero-crossing measurement technique. The first derivative absorbances at 280 and 300 nm were selected for the determination of stavudine and lamivudine, respectively. The second method is based on the separation of both drugs by high performance liquid chromatography using methanol:water (20:80) as the mobile phase at 0.6 ml/min on a reverse phase column with detection at 270 nm. Both the methods showed good linearity, reproducibility and precision. No spectral or chromatographic interferences from the tablet excipients were found. The proposed methods were suitably applied to the assay of commercial formulations. The procedures were rapid, simple and suitable for routine quality control application.

Abstract
A micellar electrokinetic chromatographic (MEKC) method for the simultaneous separation and determination of lamivudine (LMV) and zidovudine (ZDV) in pharmaceutical formulation has been developed. Factors that affect the separation, such as buffer pH, surfactant concentration (sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS), organic solvents and applied voltage were optimized. Buffer consisting of 12.5 mM sodium tetraborate decahydrate and 15 mM boric acid adjusted at pH 10.8, containing 90 mM SDS and 5% (v/v) acetonitrile (ACN) was found to be suitable for the separation of the drugs. p-Aminobenzoic acid (PABA) was used as internal standard (I.S.). Detection of analytes and I.S. was performed at a wavelength of 210 nm. It was observed that both the drugs and I.S. were migrated within 20 min at the applied voltage of +10 kV. Validation of the method was performed in terms of linearity, accuracy, precision, limit of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ). An excellent linearity was obtained in the concentration range 10-80 microg/ml for LMV and 10-100 microg/ml for ZDV. The detection limits for LMV and ZDV were found to be 2.5 and 2.0 microg/ml, respectively. The optimized method was applied to the simultaneous determination of LMV and ZDV in pharmaceutical formulation and human plasma (spiked) samples. Recovery of both the drugs in tablet dosage form and spiked drugs in plasma were > or =99.72% (relative standard deviation (R.S.D.)< or =1.84%) and > or =80.4% (R.S.D.< or =5.4%), respectively. In the electropherogram no interfering peaks were observed in the region of analytes and I.S. due to inactive ingredients in the tablets and matrices in plasma.

Abstract
A simple, accurate, precise and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method with ultraviolet detection was developed to quantificate lamivudine (3-TC) in human plasma samples from bioequivalence studies. 3-TC and stavudine (internal standard, I.S.) were extracted from 0.5 ml of human plasma by acetonitrile protein precipitation. The method was validated over a concentration range of 0.05-3.00 microg/ml and used in a bioequivalence trial between two lamivudine formulations, to assess its usefulness in this kind of study. FURP-lamivudine (Fundação para o Remédio Popular, Brazil, as test formulation) and Epivir (GlaxoSmithKline, Brazil, as reference formulation) were evaluated following a single 150 mg oral dose to 24 healthy volunteers of both genders. The dose was administered after an overnight fast according to a two-way crossover design. Bioequivalence between the products was determined by calculating 90% confidence intervals (90% CI) for the ratio of Cmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-inf values for the test and reference products, using logarithmic transformed data. The 90% confidence intervals for the ratio of Cmax (0.86-1.06), AUC0-t (0.96-1.04) and AUC0-inf (0.97-1.05) values for the test and reference products are within the 0.80-1.25 interval proposed by FDA and EMEA. It was concluded that the two 3-TC formulations are bioequivalent in their rate and extent of absorption, and thus, may be used interchangeably.

Abstract
An accurate, sensitive and specific reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography assay for the simultaneous quantitative determination of the nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors zalcitabine, lamivudine, didanosine, stavudine, zidovudine, and abacavir with the non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor nevirapine in human blood plasma is described. The new Polarity dC C(18) silica column used in this method provides better resolution and peak shape than all other columns tested. Also, four different ultraviolet wavelengths were used for accurate and specific quantitation of the analytes. The method was validated over the range of 10-10000 ng/ml for all analytes except zalcitabine (10-5000 ng/ml). This method is accurate (average accuracies of three different concentrations ranged from 97.2 to 105%), and precise (within- and between-day precision measures ranged from 0.5 to 5.1% and 0.5 to 5.6%, respectively), and is currently being used for determination of plasma drug concentrations in our laboratory.

Abstract
A new high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assay was developed for the simultaneous determination of zidovudine (AZT)/lamivudine (3TC)/nevirapine in human plasma. Plasma samples were treated using a solid-phase extraction procedure. The compounds were separated using a mobile phase of 20 mM sodium phosphate buffer (containing 8 mM 1-octanesulfonic acid sodium salt)-acetonitrile (86:14, v/v) with pH adjusted to 3.2 with phosphoric acid on an octylsilane column (150x3.9 mm i.d.) with UV detection at 265 nm. Aprobarbital was chosen as the internal standard (IS). The method was validated over the range of 57.6-2880 ng/ml for AZT, 59.0-17650 ng/ml for 3TC and 53.2-13300 ng/ml for nevirapine. The method was shown to be accurate, with intra-day and inter-day accuracy from 0.1 to 11% and precise, with intra-day and inter-day precision from 0.4 to 14%. Extraction recoveries of the analytes and IS from plasma were higher than 92%. The assay should be suitable for use in pharmacokinetic studies and routine plasma monitoring of this triple-drug therapy in AIDS patients.

Abstract
Clinicians design antiretroviral therapy to prevent HIV-1 replication and resistance, and researchers study antiretroviral concentrations to understand the pharmacokinetics of these drugs. Because drug efficacy and toxicity varies widely between patients receiving the same antiretroviral therapy, there is interest in monitoring individual patient concentrations of antiretroviral drugs. Good science and effective medical care demand inexpensive validated methods with high throughput that are capable of simultaneously analyzing multiple antiretroviral drugs in various matrices. Currently, protease inhibitors, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, and nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors are used to treat HIV-1 infection. This review summarizes published methods for the quantitation of nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors and their metabolites in different matrices using immunoassays, ultraviolet absorption, and mass spectrometry.

Abstract
A new high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection assay was developed for the simultaneous determination of protease inhibitors (PIs), nucleoside and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs, NNRTIs) using a single 1-ml plasma samples. A solid-liquid extraction procedure without internal standard was coupled with two separate reversed-phase HPLC systems; one for the determination of amprenavir, efavirenz, indinavir, nelfinavir, ritonavir, saquinavir (run time=32 min) and one for the determination of abacavir, didanosine, lamivudine, stavudine, nevirapine, zidovudine (run time=40 min). The first requires a mobile phase containing sodium phosphate buffer+ion pair-acetonitrile (50:50, v/v) through a C18 Symmetry column (250x4.6 mm I.D., 5 microm particle size), using variable wavelengths (241, 254 and 261 nm). The second system requires three mobile phases (potassium phosphate buffer+ion pair-acetonitrile) for different elution through a C18 Symmetry Shield column (250x4.6 mm I.D., 5 microm), using a single wavelength (260 nm). Peak-areas are linear; correlation coefficients are better than 0.998 for all compounds, with both inter- and intra-day relative standard deviations lower than 12%. Extraction recoveries are higher than 93% for PIs and NNRTIs and higher than 70% for NRTIs. The method is specific and sensitive and was used to determine trough and peak levels of antiretroviral drugs in HIV infected patients under various combinations of RTIs and PIs.

Abstract
A method employing high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with tandem mass spectrometry (MS) has been developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of clinically relevant levels of zidovudine (AZT) and lamivudine (3TC) in human serum. The method incorporates a fully automated ultrafiltration sample preparation step that replaces the solid-phase extraction step typically used for HPLC with UV detection. The calibration range of the dual-analyte LC-MS/MS method is 2.5-2,500 and 2.5-5,000 ng ml-1 for AZT and 3TC, respectively, using 0.25 ml of human serum. The lower limit of quantification was 2.5 ng ml-1 for each analyte, with a chromatographic run time of approximately 6 min. Overall accuracy, expressed as bias, and inter- and intra-assay precision are < +/- 7 and < 10% for AZT, and < +/- 5 and < 12.1% for 3TC over the full concentration ranges. A cross-validation study demonstrated that the LC-MS/MS method afforded equivalent results to established methods consisting of a radioimmuno-assay for AZT and an HPLC-UV method for 3TC. Moreover, the LC-MS/MS was more sensitive, allowed markedly higher-throughput, and required smaller sample volumes (for 3TC only). The validated method has been used to support post-marketing clinical studies for Combivir a combination tablet containing AZT and 3TC.

Abstract
A HPLC-MS-MS method was developed and validated to measure lamivudine and zidovudine simultaneously in small volumes of human seminal plasma. Sample preparation was simple and rapid, requiring 25 microl of sample, the use of isotopically labeled lamivudine and zidovudine as internal standards and ultrafiltration through a molecular mass cut-off membrane. Lamivudine and its internal standard were separated from zidovudine and its internal standard with isocratic HPLC. Detection was carried out using tandem mass spectrometry. This validated method was used to analyze seminal samples obtained from six HIV-positive patients prescribed lamivudine and zidovudine.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Antiretroviral therapy for HIV-1 infection has become increasingly complex. The availability of new and potent drugs and progress in understanding the pathogenesis of HIV-1 infection have led to the establishment of new treatment paradigms. The varying dosing regimens, associated toxicities, and the potential for drug-drug and food-drug interactions further complicate treatment. This complexity contributes to patient nonadherence. Because clinicians have no tools to monitor adherence or drug-drug interactions and because response requires that therapy exceed the known inhibiting concentration, serum monitoring of antiretroviral therapy may play a role in improving treatment of HIV-1 infection. We report methods to quantify serum concentrations of antiretroviral drugs used to treat HIV-1 infection, precision and interference studies of these methods, and results observed in a pilot evaluation of blood serum concentrations from 12 human subjects.
Methods: HPLC offers adequate sensitivity to measure peak or trough serum concentrations of delavirdine, lamivudine, nevirapine, indinavir, nelfinavir, ritonavir, and saquinavir and peak serum concentrations of stavudine, zidovudine, and didanosine with reasonable precision.
Results: Peak indinavir serum concentrations in most patients were in the range of 1–10 mg/L, and trough concentrations were in the range of 0.1–0.5 mg/L. Peak stavudine concentrations were in the range of 0.3–1.3 mg/L, and trough concentrations were in the range of 0.1–0.5 mg/L. Peak zidovudine concentrations were in the range of 0.1–1.1 mg/L.
Conclusions: Because this was a blood serum concentration-seeking pilot study to evaluate analytic performance, we do not report on the correlation of drug response to blood concentration. However, the concentrations observed in patients are generally consistent with blood concentrations reported from studies of monotherapy.

Abstract
Chemotherapy for chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is inherently difficult for a variety of reasons that are related to unusual features of both HBV replication strategy and host cell metabolism. Previous attempts to treat chronic HBV infection using nucleoside analogues have been almost universally disappointing, but several recently developed nucleoside analogues have been identified as potent, non-toxic inhibitors of HBV replication. These fall into two broad categories: nucleosides having the 'unnatural' L-configuration, and deoxyguanosine analogues with modified-sugar configurations, represented by lamivudine and penciclovir respectively. Both lamivudine and penciclovir (in its orally available form, famciclovir) have progressed to phase III clinical trials against chronic HBV infection, with promising preliminary results. However, chemotherapy for chronic HBV is necessarily long term, which increases the risks for development of viral resistance and cumulative toxicity. Such risks might be minimized by the use of appropriate drug combinations, rational selection of which requires knowledge of the pharmacokinetics and mechanisms of action of the individual agents. An appreciation of cellular deoxynucleoside metabolism and its regulation, the complexities of which are still emerging, is an indispensable aid to understanding the biological activities of deoxynucleoside analogues. The modes of action of lamividine and penciclovir, and how these two deoxynucleoside analogues may interact in vitro and in vivo as inhibitors of HBV replication, are examined here in the context of cellular deoxynucleoside metabolism.

Abstract
Lamivudine (3TC), the negative enantiomer of 2'-deoxy-3'-thiacytidine, is a dideoxynucleoside analogue used in combination with other agents in the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection and as monotherapy in the treatment of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Lamivudine undergoes anabolic phosphorylation by intracellular kinases to form lamivudine 5'-triphosphate, the active anabolite which prevents HIV-1 and HBV replication by competitively inhibiting viral reverse transcriptase and terminating proviral DNA chain extension. The pharmacokinetics of lamivudine are similar in patients with HIV-1 or HBV infection, and healthy volunteers. The drug is rapidly absorbed after oral administration, with maximum serum concentrations usually attained 0.5 to 1.5 hours after the dose. The absolute bioavailability is approximately 82 and 68% in adults and children, respectively. Lamivudine systemic exposure, as measured by the area under the serum drug concentration-time curve (AUC), is not altered when it is administered with food. Lamivudine is widely distributed into total body fluid, the mean apparent volume of distribution (Vd) being approximately 1.3 L/kg following intravenous administration. In pregnant women, lamivudine concentrations in maternal serum, amniotic fluid, umbilical cord and neonatal serum are comparable, indicating that the drug diffuses freely across the placenta. In postpartum women lamivudine is secreted into breast milk. The concentration of lamivudine in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is low to modest, being 4 to 8% of serum concentrations in adults and 9 to 17% of serum concentrations in children measured at 2 to 4 hours after the dose. In patients with normal renal function, about 5% of the parent compound is metabolised to the trans-sulphoxide metabolite, which is pharmacologically inactive. In patients with renal impairment, the amount of trans-sulphoxide metabolite recovered in the urine increases, presumably as a function of the decreased lamivudine elimination. As approximately 70% of an oral dose is eliminated renally as unchanged drug, the dose needs to be reduced in patients with renal insufficiency. Hepatic impairment does not affect the pharmacokinetics of lamivudine. Systemic clearance following single intravenous doses averages 20 to 25 L/h (approximately 0.3 L/h/kg). The dominant elimination half-life of lamivudine is approximately 5 to 7 hours, and the in vitro intracellular half-life of its active 5'-triphosphate anabolite is 10.5 to 15.5 hours and 17 to 19 hours in HIV-1 and HBV cell lines, respectively. Drug interaction studies have shown that trimethoprim increases the AUC and decreases the renal clearance of lamivudine, although lamivudine does not affect the disposition of trimethoprim. Other studies have demonstrated no significant interaction between lamivudine and zidovudine or between lamivudine and interferon-alpha-2b. There is limited potential for drug-drug interactions with compounds that are metabolised and/or highly protein bound.

Abstract
A high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the quantitative determination of the HIV reverse transcriptase inhibitor lamivudine ((-)-2'-deoxy-3'-thiacytidine, 3TC, Epivir) in human plasma, saliva and cerebrospinal fluid is described. Lamivudine was extracted from samples using silica extraction columns prior to reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection at 270 nm. The method has been validated over the range of 10 (lower limit of quantitation) to 5000 ng/ml using a 0.5-ml sample volume. Between-day and within-day precisions ranged from 3.5 to 9.0%. The assay has been used for the quantitative analysis of lamivudine in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid of HIV-1 infected patients.

Abstract
A rapid, sensitive and specific high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) assay was developed and validated for the measurement of (-)-2'-deoxy-3'-thiacytidine (3TC) in human serum. The method included precipitation of serum proteins by trichloroacetic acid (20%, w/v) treatment followed by centrifugation. The resulting supernatant was directly injected and 3TC was isocratically chromatographed on a reversed-phase C18 column using a mixture of phosphate buffer and methanol (88.3:11.7. v/v) and monitored at 280 nm. The limit of quantitation was 20 ng/ml using 100 microl of serum. The standard curve was linear within the range of 20-10,000 ng/ml. Replicate analysis of three quality control samples (40-1500 ng/ml) led to satisfactory intra- and inter-assay precision (coefficient of variation from 3.0 to 12.9%) and accuracy (deviation from 6.3 to 9.7%). Moreover, sample treatment processes including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) heat-inactivation, exposure at room temperature and freezing-thawing cycles did not influence the stability of the analyte. This assay was successfully applied to the determination of 3TC serum levels in HIV-infected patients. In addition, preliminary results indicated that this procedure may also be extended to the measurement of 3TC in human plasma and urine.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the safety and pharmacokinetics of lamivudine (3TC), a nucleoside analog that has shown potent in vitro and recent in vivo activity against human immunodeficiency virus. Sixteen human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients, six with normal renal function (creatinine clearance [CLCR], > or = 60 ml/min), four with moderate renal impairment (CLCR, 10 to 40 ml/min), and six with severe renal impairment (CLCR, < 10 ml/min), were enrolled in the study. After an overnight fast, patients were administered 300 mg of 3TC orally. Blood was obtained before 3TC administration and 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 32, 40, and 48 h afterward. Timed urine collections were performed for patients able to produce urine. Serum and urine were assayed for 3TC by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by using standard noncompartmental techniques. The peak concentration of 3TC increased with decreasing renal function; geometric means were 2,524, 3,538, and 5,684 ng/ml for patients with normal renal function, moderate renal impairment, and severe renal impairment, respectively. The terminal half-life also increased with decreasing renal function; geometric means were 11.5, 14.1, and 20.7 h for patients with normal renal function, moderate renal impairment, and severe renal impairment, respectively. Both oral and renal clearances were linearly correlated with CLCR. A 300-mg dose of 3TC was well tolerated by all three patient groups. The pharmacokinetics of 3TC is profoundly affected by impaired renal function. Dosage adjustment, by either dose reduction or lengthening of the dosing interval, is warranted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of multiple dosing of combined sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim on the single-dose pharmacokinetics of lamivudine. METHODS Fourteen subjects with human immunodeficiency virus who had CD4+ cells > or = 200/mm3 received two single doses of 300 mg lamivudine, separated by 7 to 14 days, in a randomized two-day crossover study. Treatment consisted of lamivudine alone versus trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (160/180 mg) daily on days 1 through 4 followed by lamivudine plus trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole on day 5. Blood and urine were collected over 24 to 32 hours to determine lamivudine, trimethoprim, sulfamethoxazole, and N-4-acetylsulfamethoxazole concentrations. RESULTS Coadministration of a single dose of lamivudine and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole after daily dosing for 5 days altered the pharmacokinetics of lamivudine. A 43% increase in area under the concentration-time curve (AUC infinity) and a 35% decrease in renal clearance (CLR) were observed when lamivudine was coadministered with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole compared with lamivudine alone. The geometric least-squares trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole were as follows: AUC infinity, 10,124 (9,432-10,866) and 14,448 (13,461-15,508) ng . hr/ml, respectively; CLR, 16.6 (14.1-19.4) and 10.8 (9.5-12.6) L/hr, respectively. Coadministration did not significantly alter the pharmacokinetics of trimethoprim or sulfamethoxazole. CONCLUSIONS Coadministration of lamivudine with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole resulted in an increased AUC infinity and a decreased CLR of lamivudine. However, given the favorable safety profile of lamivudine, it is unlikely that this interaction will result in a significant increase in concentration-related toxicity at the doses studied.

Abstract
GG167 is a novel compound which selectively inhibits viral neuraminidase and has demonstrated activity against influenza A and B. A liquid chromatography (LC) method for the determination of GG167 in human urine has been developed and validated. The method allows direct injection of urine (7 microliters) using LC column switching followed by UV detection. Initial chromatography is performed using a Nucleosil-Diol column (7 microns, 250 mm x 4.6 mm), eluted with 20 mM phosphate buffer (pH 2.5):acetonitrile (18:82, v/v) at 2.0 ml min-1. GG167 is "heart-cut" to a Spherisorb-SCX column (5 microns, 100 mm x 4.6 mm) and eluted with 35 mM phosphate buffer (pH 2.5):acetonitrile (50:50, v/v) at 1.5 ml min-1 for final separation. GG167 is detected by UV absorbance at lambda = 238 nm. UV detection and peak shape are enhanced at pH < 2.5. The quantitation range of the assay is 0.3-100 micrograms ml-1. The method has demonstrated sufficient ruggedness to be used in support of GG167 clinical trials.
