| Popis: | • Nevirapine pharmacokinetics are affected by several factors including CYP2B6 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). These genetic profiles are more common in African patients and they affect the drug clearance being associated with higher trough concentrations. Pharmacokinetic/pharmacogenetic (PK/PG) studies are difficult to perform in remote areas where refrigeration is not available, although dried plasma and dried blood methods have been validated.• Dried plasma spots are useful tools for studying nevirapine PK with a good association to plasma concentrations and they can be used in rural areas since a cold chain is not necessary. Dried blood spots can be used to store and analyze patients' DNA for PG polymorphisms. Nevirapine trough concentrations in Burundese patients, not studied so far, are above the target concentration (3000 ng ml(-1) ) in 84% of patients. CYP2B6 (both at position 516 and 983) but not ABCB1 (3435 and 1236) SNPs as well as age correlate with higher nevirapine exposure.The pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacogenetics (PG) of nevirapine have been studied in rich and limited-resource countries. CYP2B6 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been associated with decreased drug clearance. We evaluated the PG determinants of nevirapine trough concentrations in a rural cohort in Burundi using easy to store and transport dried sample spot devices.A cross-sectional analysis in HIV-positive nevirapine-treated patients in Kiremba, north of Burundi, was performed in 2009. After blood withdrawal whole blood was stored on dried blood spots and plasma (after centrifugation) was placed on dried plasma spot devices and stored at room temperature. Nevirapine plasma and dried sample spot concentrations were compared to test the clinical usefulness of this method. SNPs in CYP2B6 and ABCB1 (using a real time PCR technique) were analyzed and associated with nevirapine plasma trough concentrations.Nevirapine concentrations measured on dried plasma spot devices were highly related to plasma concentrations in 60 patients, although a negative bias was observed (-18%). Nevirapine trough concentrations were above the target concentration (3000 ng ml(-1) ) in 84% of patients and they were associated with CYP2B6 SNPs (both at position 516 and 983). No effect of ABCB1 SNPs was noted.Dried plasma spot devices are accurate tools for measuring nevirapine concentrations in rural settings where refrigeration is not available, despite a moderate underestimation bias. They allowed the evaluation of nevirapine concentrations in a cohort of HIV-infected people in rural Burundi, confirming very good exposure and correlation with PG polymorphisms in the CYP2B6 encoding gene. |
