Objective: The objective of this scientific work was to carry out pre-formulation studies including compatibility studies on Lamivudine and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate with their potential excipients prior a direct compression process [2]. Methodology: The interaction was studied in three set of environments namely uncontrolled room conditions for Zone VI b (30°C ± 2°C), oven conditions in which the oven was set at 50°C and accelerated climatic conditions in which a climatic chamber was set at 40°C ± 2°C/75% ± 5% Relative Humidity (RH %). Sample preparation was done by mixing the amount of formulation excipients to active substances at a ratio of 1:10, whereas active substance to another active substance at a ratio of 1:1, active substance to coating materials at 1:4, coating materials to the whole set of excipients 1:4. The whole set of samples was geometrically mixed and triturated by mortar and pestle to very fine uniform powder to ensure homogeneity of the mixture. HPLC analytical method was used for simultaneous quantitative determination of lamivudine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. Transmittance of the mixture was determined by Near Infra-Red (NIR) technique. Results: The amount of Lamivudine as on day 0 was comparable to day 90 for in all tested conditions (Room, Oven and Climatic Chamber), whereas for Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate only the amount of the drug at Room (30°C ± 2°C) was comparable to results on day 90. A significant drop of amount of Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF) exposed to moisture (Climatic chamber at 40°C ± 2°C/75% ± 5% Relative Humidity (RH %)) and temperature of 50°C was observed. Colour change was observed for samples subjected to moisture (Climatic chamber at 40°C ± 2°C/75% ± 5% Relative Humidity (RH %)) and as well picked up in the NIR region 400 to 1500 cm<sup>-1<展开更多

Objective: To describe the clinical and laboratory characteristics of patients with viral hepatitis B treated with tenofovir. Material and methods: A descriptive single-center retrospective study, on chronic viral hepatitis B mono-infected, followed in the hepatogastroenterology department of the University Hospital of Yopougon and treated with tenofovir from February 2012 to February 2015. The studied parameters were demographic, clinical, biochemical, serological, virological, abdominal ultrasound. Liver fibrosis was assessed either by liver biopsy or non-invasive tests. Results: 110 patients were treated with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate with a mean age of 40.4 years and a male predominance. Clinical examination revealed jaundice in 9% of cases, hepatomegaly in 7.3% of cases, splenomegaly in 9.1% of cases and ascites in 15.5% of cases. The AST averaged 77.3 IU/l, the ALT 76.8 IU/l, prothrombin rate at 76.6% , albumin level at 32.3 g/l, total bilirubin at 29.9 g/l, alpha fetoprotein rate at 15.3 ng/ml. HBe antigen was negative in 76.2% of cases. The average rate of DNA at baseline was 7.4 log10 IU/l. 27.5% was cirrhotic. The average time of starting treatment was 23.7 months. Conclusion: TDF is the first-line treatment for chronic hepatitis B in our country, because it is a well-tolerated, potent therapy with a high threshold for resistance development. Our study population had an average age of 40.4 years. Virological profile was dominated by HBe antigen negative patients and high viral load of HVB DNA. One third of patients were at the stage of cirrhosis. This treatment must be delivered free of charge in all the country hospitals, which is going to improve significantly the natural evolution of the disease and to decrease the incidence of the HCC.展开更多

The aim of this study is to establish the physic-chemical properties of their reaction with chloranilic acid in different solvent systems and to justify the chemical basis for simultaneous quantitative determination of these drugs in their combined formulation. Method: TEN and EMT were individually isolated from their single formulations and purified by chromatography to obtain secondary standard. Purity of the isolates were tested for by comparison with literature values. Stock solution of chloranilic acid (CA) [3.0 × 10﹣3 M] was prepared in the following solvents of different polarities: ethanol, acetonitrile, ethylacetate, chloroform and hexane. Equal volumes of CA and TEN [3.0 × 10﹣2 M] and EMT [3.0 × 10﹣2 M] dissolved in different solvents were mixed whereby colored products were observed. Absorption maxima were determined. Calibration curves were generated and validated. Quantitative simultaneous determination of TEN and EMT was determined by standard protocol. Stoichiometric relationships between the drugs and CA were established. Equilibrium constants were determined at different temperatures from which the Gibb’s free energies were calculated. Arrhenius equation was used to calculate the enthalpy, entropy was similarly calculated. Results: Absorption maxima of CA in different solvents are as follows: Ethanol 310 nm;Acetonitrile 330 nm;Ethyl acetate 340 nm;Chloroform 350 nm and hexane 310 nm. The complex of CA and TEN in the different solvents are: Alcohol 525 nm, Acetonitrile 500 nm;Ethyl acetate 505 nm;Chloroform 510 nm and hexane 515 nm. For EMT complex absorption maxima are: Alcohol 510 nm;Acetonitrile 515 nm’ Ethyl acetate 520 nm’ Chloroform 505 nm and hexane 530 nm. Simultaneous quantitative recovery values for TEN are: Ethanol;97.89% ± 1.21;Acetonitrile 101.17 V 1.51%;Ethyl acetate 96.55% ± 0.71%;Chloroform 99.11% ± 0.34% and展开更多

文摘Background:Hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg)clearance is vital for a functional cure of hepatitis B virus(HBV)infection.However,the incidence and predictors of HBsAg seroclearance in patients co-infected with HBV and human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)remain largely unknown in Guangdong,China.Methods:Between 2009 and 2019,patients co-infected with HBV/HIV undergoing antiretroviral therapy(ART)in Guangzhou Eighth People’s Hospital affiliated to Guangzhou Medical University were retrospectively reviewed with the endpoint on December 31,2020.The incidence and risk factors for HBsAg seroclearance were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier and multivariate Cox regression analyses.Results:A total of 1550 HBV/HIV co-infected patients were included in the study,with the median age of 42 years and 86.0%(1333/1550)males.Further,98.3%(1524/1550)received ART containing tenofovir disoproxil fumarate(TDF)plus lamivudine(3TC).HBV DNA was examined in 1283 cases at the last follow-up.Over the median 4.7 years of follow-up,8.1%(126/1550)patients achieved HBsAg seroclearance,among whom 50.8%(64/126)obtained hepatitis B surface antibody,28.1%(137/488)acquired hepatitis B e antigen seroconversion,and 95.9%(1231/1283)undetectable HBV DNA.Compared with patients who maintained HBsAg positive,cases achieving HBsAg seroclearance showed no differences in age,gender,CD4+T cell count,alanine aminotransferase(ALT)level,or fibrosis status;however,they presented lower HBV DNA levels,lower HBsAg levels,and higher rates of HBV genotype B at the baseline.Multivariate analysis showed that baseline HBsAg<1500 cutoff index(COI)(adjusted hazard ratio[aHR],2.74,95%confidence interval[95%CI]:1.48-5.09),ALT elevation>2×upper limit of normal during the first six months after receiving ART(aHR,2.96,95%CI:1.53-5.77),and HBV genotype B(aHR,3.73,95%CI:1.46-9.59)were independent predictors for HBsAg seroclearance(all P<0.01).Conclusions:Long-term TDF-containing ART has high anti-HBV efficacy including relatively high overall HBsAg seroclearance in HBV/HIV co-infected
文摘Hepatitis B virus(HBV)infection is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide.Most children acquire the infection perinatally or during early childhood and develop a chronic hepatitis characterized by a high viral replication and a low-inflammation phase of infection,with normal or only slightly raised aminotransferases.Although a conservative approach in children is usually recommended,different therapies exist and different therapeutic approaches are possible.The main goals of antiviral treatment for children with chronic HBV infection are to suppress viral replication and to warn the disease progression to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma,although these complications are rare in children.Both United States Food and Drug Administration(USFDA)and European Medicines Agency(EMA)have approved interferon alfa-2b for children aged 1 year and older,pegylated interferon alfa-2a and lamivudine for children aged 3 years and older,entecavir for use in children aged 2 years and older,and adefovir for use in those 12 years of age and older.Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is approved by EMA for children aged 2 years and older and by USFDA for treatment in children aged 12 years and older.Finally,EMA has approved the use of tenofovir alafenamide for treatment of children aged 12 years and older or for children weighing more than 35 kg independent of age.This narrative review will provide the framework for summarizing indications to antiviral therapy in the management of chronic HBV infection in children and adolescents.
文摘BACKGROUND Both tenofovir alafenamide(TAF)and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate(TDF)are the first-line treatments for chronic hepatitis B(CHB).We have showed switching from TDF to TAF for 96 weeks resulted in further alanine aminotransferase(ALT)improvement,but data remain lacking on the long-term benefits of TDF switching to TAF on hepatic fibrosis.AIM To assess the benefits of TDF switching to TAF for 3 years on ALT,aspartate aminotransferase(AST),and hepatic fibrosis improvement in patients with CHB.METHODS A single center retrospective study on 53 patients with CHB who were initially treated with TDF,then switched to TAF to determine dynamic patterns of ALT,AST,AST to platelet ratio index(APRI),fibrosis-4(FIB-4)scores,and shear wave elastography(SWE)reading improvement at switching week 144,and the associated factors.RESULTS The mean age was 55(28-80);45.3%,males;15.1%,clinical cirrhosis;mean baseline ALT,24.8;AST,25.7 U/L;APRI,0.37;and FIB-4,1.66.After 144 weeks TDF switching to TAF,mean ALT and AST were reduced to 19.7 and 21,respectively.From baseline to switching week 144,the rates of ALT and AST<35(male)/25(female)and<30(male)/19(female)were persistently increased;hepatic fibrosis was also improved by APRI<0.5,from 79.2%to 96.2%;FIB-4<1.45,from 52.8%to 58.5%,respectively;mean APRI was reduced to 0.27;FIB-4,to 1.38;and mean SWE reading,from 7.05 to 6.30 kPa after a mean of 109 weeks switching.The renal function was stable and the frequency of patients with glomerular filtration rate>60 mL/min was increased from 86.5%at baseline to 88.2%at switching week 144.CONCLUSION Our data confirmed that switching from TDF to TAF for 3 years results in not only persistent ALT/AST improvement,but also hepatic fibrosis improvement by APRI,FIB-4 scores,as well as SWE reading,the important clinical benefits of long-term hepatitis B virus antiviral treatment with TAF.

文摘Background and Aims:A functional cure,or hepatitis B virus(HBV)surface antigen(HBsAg)loss,is difficult to achieve in patients with hepatitis B virus e antigen(HBeAg)-positive chronic hepatitis B.The HBV vaccine and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor(GM-CSF)have been reported to help reduce HBsAg levels and promote HBsAg loss.In this prospective randomized trial,we evaluated HBsAg loss in patients receiving pegylated interferon α2b(PEGIFN-α2b)and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate(TDF),with and without GM-CSF and HBV vaccination.Methods:A total of 287 patients with HBeAg positive chronic hepati-tis B and seroconversion after nucleot(s)ide analog treat-ment were assigned randomly to three treatment groups for 48 weeks,TDF alone(control),PEGIFN-α2b+TDF,and PEGIFN-α2b+TDF+GM-CSF+HBV vaccine.The prima-ry endpoints were the proportions of patients with HBsAg loss and seroconversion at 48 and 72 weeks.Resu/ts:The cumulative HBsAg loss rates in the control,PEGIFN-α2b+TDF,and PEGIFN-α2b+TDF+GM-CSF+HBV vaccine groups at week 48 were 0.0%,28.3%,and 41.1%,respec-tively.The cumulative HBsAg seroconversion rates in these groups at week 48 were 0.0%,21.7%,and 33.9%,respec-tively.Multivariate regression analysis showed that GM-CSF use plus HBV vaccination was significantly associated with HBsAg loss(p=0.017)and seroconversion(p=0.030).Con-clusions:In patients with HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B and seroconversion after nucleot(s)ide analog treatment,immunomodulatory/antiviral treatment regimens effective-ly improved HBsAg loss,and the regimen including GM-CSF and HBV vaccination was most effective.

文摘Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate(TDF)is a potent nucleotide analogue with high barrier to resistance,which is recommended for multi-drug resistant hepatitis B virus(HBV)infection.However,nephrotoxicity has been reported during TDF treatment,and tenofovir alafenamide(TAF),which has comparable efficacy to TDF and improves bone and renal safety,can be used as a replacement strategy.Herein,we describe a clinical case concerning a 60-year-old individual suffering liver cirrhosis and renal dysfunction,and being infected with multidrug-resistant HBV.When failing treatment with TDF,he received TAF as a rescue therapy.TAF effectively inhibited HBV replication without worsening renal function or serum phosphorus abnormality.Furthermore,hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)occurred during TAF treatment despite controlling the viral load.The risk of HCC could not be eliminated and should be monitored during TAF treatment.

文摘Introduction: In this study, physical and chemical characteristics of Lamivudine, Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF) and potential excipients were systematically followed and documented [1]. Objective: The objective of this scientific work was to carry out pre-formulation studies including compatibility studies on Lamivudine and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate with their potential excipients prior a direct compression process [2]. Methodology: The interaction was studied in three set of environments namely uncontrolled room conditions for Zone VI b (30°C ± 2°C), oven conditions in which the oven was set at 50°C and accelerated climatic conditions in which a climatic chamber was set at 40°C ± 2°C/75% ± 5% Relative Humidity (RH %). Sample preparation was done by mixing the amount of formulation excipients to active substances at a ratio of 1:10, whereas active substance to another active substance at a ratio of 1:1, active substance to coating materials at 1:4, coating materials to the whole set of excipients 1:4. The whole set of samples was geometrically mixed and triturated by mortar and pestle to very fine uniform powder to ensure homogeneity of the mixture. HPLC analytical method was used for simultaneous quantitative determination of lamivudine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. Transmittance of the mixture was determined by Near Infra-Red (NIR) technique. Results: The amount of Lamivudine as on day 0 was comparable to day 90 for in all tested conditions (Room, Oven and Climatic Chamber), whereas for Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate only the amount of the drug at Room (30°C ± 2°C) was comparable to results on day 90. A significant drop of amount of Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF) exposed to moisture (Climatic chamber at 40°C ± 2°C/75% ± 5% Relative Humidity (RH %)) and temperature of 50°C was observed. Colour change was observed for samples subjected to moisture (Climatic chamber at 40°C ± 2°C/75% ± 5% Relative Humidity (RH %)) and as well picked up in the NIR region 400 to 1500 cm<sup>-1<
文摘Little data exist on patients treated with tenofovir in Sub-Saharan Africa. Objective: To describe the clinical and laboratory characteristics of patients with viral hepatitis B treated with tenofovir. Material and methods: A descriptive single-center retrospective study, on chronic viral hepatitis B mono-infected, followed in the hepatogastroenterology department of the University Hospital of Yopougon and treated with tenofovir from February 2012 to February 2015. The studied parameters were demographic, clinical, biochemical, serological, virological, abdominal ultrasound. Liver fibrosis was assessed either by liver biopsy or non-invasive tests. Results: 110 patients were treated with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate with a mean age of 40.4 years and a male predominance. Clinical examination revealed jaundice in 9% of cases, hepatomegaly in 7.3% of cases, splenomegaly in 9.1% of cases and ascites in 15.5% of cases. The AST averaged 77.3 IU/l, the ALT 76.8 IU/l, prothrombin rate at 76.6% , albumin level at 32.3 g/l, total bilirubin at 29.9 g/l, alpha fetoprotein rate at 15.3 ng/ml. HBe antigen was negative in 76.2% of cases. The average rate of DNA at baseline was 7.4 log10 IU/l. 27.5% was cirrhotic. The average time of starting treatment was 23.7 months. Conclusion: TDF is the first-line treatment for chronic hepatitis B in our country, because it is a well-tolerated, potent therapy with a high threshold for resistance development. Our study population had an average age of 40.4 years. Virological profile was dominated by HBe antigen negative patients and high viral load of HVB DNA. One third of patients were at the stage of cirrhosis. This treatment must be delivered free of charge in all the country hospitals, which is going to improve significantly the natural evolution of the disease and to decrease the incidence of the HCC.
文摘Purpose: Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TEN) and emtricitabine (EMT) are both second generation ant-retroviral drugs used in the “treatment” of HIV/AIDS. The aim of this study is to establish the physic-chemical properties of their reaction with chloranilic acid in different solvent systems and to justify the chemical basis for simultaneous quantitative determination of these drugs in their combined formulation. Method: TEN and EMT were individually isolated from their single formulations and purified by chromatography to obtain secondary standard. Purity of the isolates were tested for by comparison with literature values. Stock solution of chloranilic acid (CA) [3.0 × 10﹣3 M] was prepared in the following solvents of different polarities: ethanol, acetonitrile, ethylacetate, chloroform and hexane. Equal volumes of CA and TEN [3.0 × 10﹣2 M] and EMT [3.0 × 10﹣2 M] dissolved in different solvents were mixed whereby colored products were observed. Absorption maxima were determined. Calibration curves were generated and validated. Quantitative simultaneous determination of TEN and EMT was determined by standard protocol. Stoichiometric relationships between the drugs and CA were established. Equilibrium constants were determined at different temperatures from which the Gibb’s free energies were calculated. Arrhenius equation was used to calculate the enthalpy, entropy was similarly calculated. Results: Absorption maxima of CA in different solvents are as follows: Ethanol 310 nm;Acetonitrile 330 nm;Ethyl acetate 340 nm;Chloroform 350 nm and hexane 310 nm. The complex of CA and TEN in the different solvents are: Alcohol 525 nm, Acetonitrile 500 nm;Ethyl acetate 505 nm;Chloroform 510 nm and hexane 515 nm. For EMT complex absorption maxima are: Alcohol 510 nm;Acetonitrile 515 nm’ Ethyl acetate 520 nm’ Chloroform 505 nm and hexane 530 nm. Simultaneous quantitative recovery values for TEN are: Ethanol;97.89% ± 1.21;Acetonitrile 101.17 V 1.51%;Ethyl acetate 96.55% ± 0.71%;Chloroform 99.11% ± 0.34% and

文摘BACKGROUND Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate(TDF)is a prodrug of a nucleotide analogue.As an antiviral drug,TDF has been proposed in the first-line treatment of chronic hepatitis B(CHB).Qingzhong,a brand name of TDF,commercialized by Jiangsu Chia-tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Co Ltd.,and Viread,another brand name of TDF,commercialized by GlaxoSmithKline,have both been approved by the State Food and Drug Administration,China.AIM To investigate the efficacy and safety of the two TDF agents in the treatment of Chinese CHB patients.METHODS This trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov with the identifier number of NCT02287857.A total of 330 Chinese CHB patients,among which 232 were hepatitis B e antigen(HBeAg)-positive,were included in this 5-year-long,multicenter,double-blinded,double-dummy,randomized-controlled,noninferiority phase III trial.The participants were initially randomized into two groups:Group A(n=161),in which the participants received 300 mg Qingzhong once a day for 48 wk;and Group B,in which the participants received 300 mg Viread once a day for 48 wk.Starting from week 49,all the participants in Groups A and B received 300 mg Qingzhong once a day until the 96th week.In this study,the primary endpoint was the decrease in plasma level of hepatitis B virus(HBV)DNA at the 96th week,while the secondary endpoints were suppression of HBV replication,alanine aminotransferase(ALT)normalization,HBeAg loss,and HBeAg seroconversion rates.RESULTS For the participants with HBeAg-positive CHB,the decrease in mean HBV DNA level relative to the baseline value was comparable between Groups A and B(5.77 vs 5.73 log10 IU/mL,P>0.05)at the 96th week.In addition,similar percentages of HBeAg-positive participants in the two groups exhibited undetectable levels of HBV DNA,HBeAg loss,and HBeAg seroconversion(71.05%vs 77.97%,31.00%vs 27.27%,and 20.22%vs 15.79%,respectively,in Group A vs Group B;P>0.05).For the participants with HBeAg-negative CHB,the decrease in mean HBV DNA level relative to the baseline value was also comparabl

文摘BACKGROUND Correlation between Triglyceride(TG)and estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)remains largely unknown in overweight and non-overweight patients.AIM To investigated the dynamic changes of eGFR and lipid profiles during 3-year tenofovir disoproxil fumarate(TDF)treatment in patients with chronic hepatitis B(CHB)and overweight.METHODS A total of 202 CHB patients who received TDF treatment at the Third People's Hospital of Changzhou(Changzhou,China)and Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital(Nanjing,China)between January 2016 and May 2018 were retrospectively enrolled.According to the body mass index(BMI)at the initiation of TDF treatment,CHB patients were divided into overweight(BMI≥25 kg/m^(2))and nonoverweight(BMI<25 kg/m^(2))groups.Logistic regression was applied for the analysis of risk factors for eGFR<90 mL/(min·1.73 m^(2)).RESULTS There is no significant difference in hepatitis B virus DNA(HBV DNA)negativity and hepatitis Be antigen(HBeAg)loss between patients with overweight and nonoverweight(both P>0.05).More patients in non-overweight group achieved alanine aminotransferase normalization compared with those in overweight group(χ^(2)=11.036,P<0.01).In non-overweight patients,the eGFR significantly declined in the 1^(st) year(P<0.01),then remained at a relatively lower level.TG significantly declined in the 2^(nd) year(P=0.02)and increased in the 3^(rd) year.Moreover,TG was negatively correlated with GFR at the four-time points(P=0.002,0.030,0.007,0.008,respectively).In overweight patients,eGFR and TG remained relatively stable during the 3-year treatment,and eGFR showed no significant relationship with TG.Moreover,multivariate analysis showed that age[P<0.01,95%CI(0.97-1.005)]and baseline eGFR[P<0.01,95%CI(5.056-33.668)]were independent risk factors for eGFR<90 mL/(min·1.73 m^(2))at the 3^(rd) year.CONCLUSION Dynamic changes in renal function were conversely related to TG during TDF treatment in patients with CHB and normal BMI,but not with overweight.
