Dược Động Học :
▧ Absorption :
When 50 mg of dolutegravir once daily was orally administered to HIV-1 infected adults, the AUC (0-24), Cmax, and Cmin is 53.6 mcg.h/mL, 3.67 mcg/mL, and 1.11 mcg/mL, respectively. The peak plasma concentration was observed 2 to 3 hours post dose. Steady state is achieved within approximately 5 days with average accumulation ratios for AUC, Cmax, and C24h ranging from 1.2 to 1.5. When 50 mg once daily is given to pediatric patients (12 to <18 years and weighing ≥40 kg) the Cmax, AUC (0-24), and C24 is 3.49 mcg/mL, 46 mcg.h/mL, and 0.90 mcg/mL respectively.
▧ Volume of Distribution :
Volume of distribution (Vd/F), 50 mg once daily = 17.4 L.
The median dolutegravir concentration in the CSF was 18 ng/mL after 2 weeks of treatment.
▧ Protein binding :
Dolutegravir is highly protein bound (≥98.9%) to human plasma proteins.
▧ Metabolism :
Dolutegravir is primarily metabolized by UGT1A1 with some minor contributed CYP3A.
▧ Route of Elimination :
When a single oral dose of dolutegravir is given, 53% was excreted unchanged in the feces. 31% is excreted in urine in which consists of the ether glucuronide of dolutegravir (18.9%), a metabolite formed by oxidation at the benzylic carbon (3.0%), and its hydrolytic N-dealkylation product (3.6%). Renal elimination of unchanged drug was low (<1%).
▧ Half Life :
Terminal half life = 14 hours
▧ Clearance :
Apparent clearance (CL/F) = 1.0 L/h
