Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of danoprevir in combination with low-dose ritonavir (danoprevir/r) and placebo plus low-dose ritonavir on the pharmacokinetics of probe drugs for cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A and CYP2C9, in patients with chronic hepatitis C.
Methods: A total of 54 patients infected with hepatitis C virus genotype 1 received an oral drug cocktail (2 mg midazolam, 10 mg warfarin and 10 mg vitamin K) before and after 14 days of dosing with either danoprevir/r or placebo plus low-dose ritonavir (placebo/r). Serial pharmacokinetic samples were collected up to 24 (midazolam) and 72 (S-warfarin) h post-dose. Plasma concentrations of midazolam, α-hydroxymidazolam and S-warfarin were measured using validated assays. Pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated using non-compartmental analysis, and geometric mean ratios (GMRs) and 90 % confidence intervals (CIs) for the differences between baseline and post-dosing values were calculated.
Results: Danoprevir/r and placebo/r significantly increased midazolam area under the time-concentration curve (AUC0-∞) and reduced the midazolam metabolic ratio while S-warfarin AUC0-∞ was modestly decreased. When danoprevir data were pooled across doses, the midazolam GMR (90 % CI) AUC0-∞ was 9.41 (8.11, 10.9) and 11.14 (9.42, 13.2) following danoprevir/r and placebo/r dosing, respectively, and the S-warfarin GMR (90 % CI) AUC0-∞ was 0.72 (0.68, 0.76) and 0.76 (0.69, 0.85), respectively. The effects of danoprevir/r and placebo/r appeared to be qualitatively similar.
Conclusions: Substantial inhibition of CYP3A- and modest induction of CYP2C9- activity were observed with danoprevir/r and low-dose ritonavir.

Background: The impact of corticosteroids on humoral responses in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) survivors during the acute phase and subsequent 6-month period remains unknown. This study aimed to determine how the use of corticosteroids influences the initiation and duration of humoral responses in COVID-19 survivors 6 months after infection onset.
Methods: We used kinetic antibody data from the lopinavir-ritonavir trial conducted at Jin Yin-Tan Hospital in January 2020, which involved adults hospitalized with severe COVID-19 (LOTUS, ChiCTR2000029308).

Background: We investigated the effect of a 5-day low-dose ritonavir therapy, as it is used in the treatment of COVID-19 with nirmatrelvir/ritonavir, on the pharmacokinetics of three factor Xa inhibitors (FXaI). Concurrently, the time course of the activities of the cytochromes P450 (CYP) 3A4, 2C19, and 2D6 was assessed.
Methods: In an open-label, fixed sequence clinical trial, the effect and duration of a 5-day oral ritonavir (100 mg twice daily) treatment on the pharmacokinetics of three oral microdosed FXaI (rivaroxaban 25 µg, apixaban 25 µg, and edoxaban 50 µg) and microdosed probe drugs (midazolam 25 µg, yohimbine 50 µg, and omeprazole 100 µg) was evaluated in eight healthy volunteers.

Purpose: Early antiviral treatment with nirmatrelvir/ritonavir is recommended for SARS-CoV-2-infected patients at high risk for severe courses. Such patients are usually chronically ill and susceptible to adverse drug interactions caused by ritonavir. We investigated the interactions of short-term low-dose ritonavir therapy with atorvastatin and rosuvastatin, two statins commonly used in this population.

Background: SIM0417 (SSD8432) is an orally administered coronavirus main proteinase (3CL) inhibitor with potential anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SIM0417 plus ritonavir (a pharmacokinetic enhancer) in adults with COVID-19.
Methods: This was a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 1b study in China.
Celecoxib Oral Solution and the Benefits of Self-Microemulsifying Drug Delivery Systems (SMEDDS) Technology: A Narrative Review.

Introduction: The oral route of drug delivery is the most widespread and preferred route of administration, but it has several limitations, including variable pharmacokinetics (PK), reduced dissolution and absorption, and gastrointestinal irritation. Further, many compounds have low aqueous solubility, which also limits intestinal absorption.
Methods: For this narrative review, we conducted a literature search of PubMed until August 2022, focusing on emulsions, microemulsions, nanoemulsions, and self-emulsifying drug delivery systems.
