Introduction. Since the appearance of the immune deficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) at the beginning of 1980s, humanity started to understand elementary processes, underlying biology of HIV that enabled to develop safe and efficient treatment methods. Currently HIV therapy includes combined treatment regimen that allows combined drug interaction.Objective. To study the features of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, and also drug interaction of specific product groups, affecting human immunodeficiency virus.Materials and methods. Analytical review is based on analysis of literary sources of scientific database (PubMed, Cochrane Library, Сyberleninka) that contains information about peculiarities of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic antiretroviral products’ interaction (ARVP) when used by HIV-infected patients for the period 1995–2022. Results and discussion. The current study enabled to summarize the research results, devoted to the issue of combined ARVP use by HIV-infected patients, and also to identify variants of irrational ARVP combination, caused by increased risk of toxicity with their simultaneous application.Conclusion. Studying the characteristics of each medical product, used in HIV infection therapy, allows to choose optimal pharmacotherapy regimens, taking into account individual patient characteristics, and also to predict and prevent the risk of adverse reactions in the future.
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is now considered one of the most global pandemics in human history. Despite the use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), HIV-1 infection is often accompanied by the development of CNS disorders, including neurocognitive disorders. The use of etiologic therapy has successfully prevented many of the possible terminal complications of the disease, but as patient survival time increases, the prevalence of cognitive impairment among AIDS patients is increasing. Theclinical manifestations of these disorders can rapidly progress from subtle attention deficits and behavioral disorders to the development of dementia. Diagnosing neurocognitive impairment in HIV-infected patients is usually difficult and requires consistent diagnostic procedures from the clinician, including initial screening and, if necessary, neuropsychiatric testing and neuroimaging. Early diagnosis and correction of neurocognitive impairment in HIV-infected individuals with adequate antiretroviral therapy is essential for successful treatment. The review also considers the use of drugs for the prevention and treatment of neurocognitive impairment, taking into account the peculiarities of persistence of the pathogen in the nervous system and the capabilities of modern medicine. One of the most promising methods of supporting therapy for such disorders is the delivery of antiretroviral drugs using various nanosystems (polymeric nanoparticles, lipid nanoparticles, nanogels, magnetic particles).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
