In Vitro | Nevirapine itself is an inhibitor of only CYP3A4 at concentrations that are well above those of therapeutic relevance (Ki=270 μM)[1]. Nevirapine has been used as a re-differentiation agent to treat cancers in several human cancer models. At all doses (100, 200, 350, 500 μM) tested, nevirapine significantly inhibits cell proliferation after 48 h treatment. At high dose (500 μM), nevirapine significantly increases the percentage of apoptotic cells compared with control[2]. Nevirapine is a potent and selective inhibitor (IC50=10-100 nM) of the replication of a wide variety of HIV-1 strains in several cellular assays[3]. |
In Vivo | Nevirapine is available for use in combination with nucleoside HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors (e.g., zidovudine, didanosine, etc.). Nevirapine has received FDA approval for use in combination with HIV-1 protease inhibitors (e.g., saquinavir, ritonavir, indinavir, etc.). In humans, nevirapine is eliminated primarily in the urine as glucuronide conjugates of 2-, 3-, 8-, and 12-hydroxynevirapine[1]. Nevirapine is completely absorbed in both sexes of mouse, rat, rabbit, monkey, and chimpanzee. Nevirapine is extensively metabolized in both sexes of all animal species studied[4]. Nevirapine (9 mg/kg, 18 mg/kg and 36 mg/kg) shows significant reduction in ulcer severity score and ulcer index as compared to the control[5] |
Cell Assay | FRO cells are seeded into 96-well culture plates at 10,000 cells/well. Cells are treated with different doses of nevirapine (0, 100, 200, 350 and 500 μM) for 48 h. MTT dye (5 mg/mL) is added to each well for additional 4 h, and the reaction is then stopped by the addition of DMSO. Optical density is measured at 490 nm on a multi-well plate reader[2]. |
Animal Admin | Rats: Nevirapine and [14C] Nevirapine are dissolved together in absolute ethanol and methylene chloride (1:1, v/v) with mild heating. The concentration of drug in suspension is 2 mg/mL (20 mg/kg, 26 μCi) for oral dosing to rats and 6.7 mg/mL (20.3 mg/kg, 10 μCi males, 8.9 μCi females) for intraduodenal administration to rats before bile collection. The i.v. dose is administered to rats (1.1 mg/kg, 20 μCi) as a solution in 20% ethanol/80% saline[4]. Mice: Nevirapine and [14C] Nevirapine are dissolved together in absolute ethanol and methylene chloride (1:1, v/v) with mild heating. The concentration of drug in suspension is 2 mg/mL (20 mg/kg, 2.5 μCi) with a specific activity of 5.55 μCi/mg for oral dosing to mice[4]. |
