Background

Etravirine is an antiretroviral agent more specifically classified as a Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor (NNRTI). Etraverine is used clinically for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. On January 18, 2007, the FDA granted accelerated approved for the use of etravirine 100mg tablets in the treatment of adult HIV-1 infection documented to be resistant to therapy with other NNRTIs and antiretroviral agents. On March 26, 2012, approval was extended for use in treatment-experienced pediatric patients 6 to 18 years of age, weighing at least 16 kg. Etravarine must always be used in combination with other antiretroviral drugs.

Etravirine exerts its effects via direct inhibition of the reverse transcriptase enzyme of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), and consequently blocks DNA-dependent and RNA-dependent polymerase activity. Etravirine does not inhibit human DNA polymerase alpha, beta or gamma.

Common side effects of use include mild to moderate rash within the first 6 weeks of therapy, nausea, diarrhea and peripheral neuropathy. Patients are advised to immediately contact their healthcare provider if a rash develops.

In 2009, postmarketing case reports of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, erythema multiforme, and other hypersensitivity reactions lead to a revision of etravirine's "Warnings and Precautions," as well as notification of health care providers.

In 2013, reports of Autoimmune disorders (such as Graves’ disease, polymyositis, and Guillain-Barré syndrome) in the setting of immune reconstitution, as well as more in depth information about the development of rashes in patients taking etravirine, lead to a modification of etravirine's monograph.

Pharmacodynamics

Clinical trials have shown no prolongation of QT intervals on electrocardiograms after 8 days of dosing.

Mechanism of action

Etravirine exerts its effects via direct inhibition of the reverse transcriptase enzyme of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). It directly binds reverse transcriptase and consequently blocks DNA-dependent and RNA-dependent polymerase activity. Etravirine does not inhibit human DNA polymerase alpha, beta or gamma.

Absorption

Maximum oral absorption is achieved in 2.5-4 hours.

Absorption is unaffected by the concomitant use of oral ranitidine or omeprazole, which decrease gastric acidity.

Administration under fasting conditions resulted in a near 50% decrease in systemic exposure (AUC) when compared to administration after a meal.

Volume of distribution

Distribution of etravirine into compartments other than plasma has not been evaluated in humans.

Protein binding

Plasma protein binding is about 99.9% in vitro. In vitro, 99.6% is bound to albumin, and 97.66% - 99.02% is bound to 1-alpha glycoprotein.

Metabolism

Metabolized (in vitro) by the liver CYP450 enzymes: CYP3A4, CYP2C9, CYP2C19. The major metabolites formed by a methyl hydroxylation of the dimethylbenzonitrile moiety retained less than 90% of etravirine's activity.

Route of elimination

After a 800mg dose of radio-labelled etraverine, 93.7% was found to undergo fecal elimination, with 81.2% - 86.4% eliminated unchanged. 1.2% of the dose was renally eliminated, changed.

Etravirine is dialyzable (hemodialysis).

Half-life

Half life of 9.05-41 hours.

Clearance

Renal clearance of etravirine is negligible (<1.2%), thus no dose adjustments are required in patients with renal impairment.

Clearance is shown to be reduced in patients with Hepatitis B and/or co-infection, however, the safety profile of etravirine does not call for dosage adjustments.

DrugInteraction
AbametapirThe serum concentration of Etravirine can be increased when it is combined with Abametapir.
AbataceptThe metabolism of Etravirine can be increased when combined with Abatacept.
AbemaciclibThe metabolism of Abemaciclib can be increased when combined with Etravirine.
AbrocitinibThe metabolism of Abrocitinib can be decreased when combined with Etravirine.
AcalabrutinibThe metabolism of Acalabrutinib can be increased when combined with Etravirine.
Food Interactions
  • Avoid grapefruit products. Grapefruit inhibits the CYP3A metabolism of etravirine, which may increase its serum concentration.
  • Avoid St. John's Wort. This herb induces the CYP3A metabolism of etravirine and may reduce its serum concentration.
  • Take after a meal. Take after meals. This increases the bioavailability of etravirine.
