Wednesday, April 3, 8:00 – 8:45 AM | Room 2 - Catalina | Use of MS Workflows to Support HIV Clinical Trials: A Focus on Prevention |
Antiretroviral drugs have long been used for treatment and management of HIV. Currently, a fixed dose, once-daily, oral formulation of two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (tenofovir (TFV) disoproxil fumarate and emtricitabine) is US FDA-approved to prevent HIV acquisition in high-risk populations. The pharmacology of these compounds has been evaluated using liquid-chromatographic-mass spectrometric (LC-MS) approaches. This presentation will focus on workflows associated with the validation and implementation of bioanalytical assays to understand TFV pharmacology in assessing drug adherence, as well as in the interrogation of antiretroviral drugs as alternative drug delivery systems for HIV prevention.
