The antacids in two didanosine placebo tablets had no significant effect on the plasma pharmacokinetics of a single oral dose of 300 mg of isoniazid administered to 12 healthy volunteers. These results suggest that isoniazid bioavailability will be unaffected by the antacids in didanosine tablets when the two medications are administered simultaneously to human immunodeficiency virus-seropositive patients.

Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are a widespread class of broad-spectrum antibiotics prescribed as a first line of defense, and, in some cases, as the only treatment against bacterial infection. However, when administered orally, reduced absorption and bioavailability can occur due to chelation in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) with multivalent metal cations acquired from diet, coadministered compounds (sucralfate, didanosine), or drug formulation. Predicting the extent to which this interaction reduces in vivo antibiotic absorption and systemic exposure remains desirable yet challenging.

Rilpivirine (TMC278) is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor approved in combination with other antiretrovirals for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in treatment-naive adults (Edurant(®) 25 mg once daily; Complera(®) [USA]/Eviplera(®) [EU] once daily single-tablet regimen). Rilpivirine should be administered with a meal to optimize bioavailability. Its solubility is pH dependent.

Tipranavir is a new nonpeptidic protease inhibitor and belongs to the class of 4-hydroxy-5, 6-dihydro-2-pyrones. Chemically, tipranavir is based on coumarin and sulfonamide compounds, amongst others. It exhibits potent and specific activity against both HIV-1 and -2.

Didanosine is an acid labile drug and hence has been given with buffering agents. To avoid the need for concurrent administration with antacids, an encapsulated enteric-coated bead formulation of didanosine was developed. The objective of this study was to assess the bioequivalence of the encapsulated enteric-coated beads compared to the buffered tablet.

This open-label, two-way crossover study was undertaken to determine whether the enteric formulation of didanosine influences the pharmacokinetics of itraconazole or fluconazole, two agents frequently used to treat fungal infections that occur with HIV infection, and whose bioavailability may be influenced by changes in gastric pH. Healthy subjects were randomized to Treatment A (200-mg itraconazole or 200-mg fluconazole) or Treatment B (same dose of itraconazole or fluconazole with 400 mg of didanosine as an encapsulated, enteric-coated bead formulation). In the itraconazole study, a lack of interaction was concluded if the 90% confidence interval (CI) of the ratio of the geometric means of log-transformed C(max) and AUC(0-T) values of itraconazole and hydroxyitraconazole, the active metabolite of itraconazole, were contained entirely between 0.
