HIDE SMILES / InChI
Atazanavir is the first once-daily protease inhibitor for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection and should be used only in combination therapy, as part of a highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) regimen. In addition to being the most potent protease inhibitor in vitro, atazanavir has a distinct cross-resistance profile that does not confer resistance to other protease inhibitors. However, resistance to other protease inhibitors often confers clinically relevant resistance to atazanavir.

REYATAZ

Approved Use

REYATAZ® (atazanavir sulfate) is indicated in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. This indication is based on analyses of plasma HIV-1 RNA levels and CD4+ cell counts from controlled studies of 96 weeks duration in antiretroviral-naive and 48 weeks duration in antiretroviral-treatment-experienced adult and pediatric patients at least 6 years of age. The following points should be considered when initiating therapy with REYATAZ: In Study AI424-045, REYATAZ/ritonavir and lopinavir/ritonavir were similar for the primary efficacy outcome measure of time-averaged difference in change from baseline in HIV RNA level. This study was not large enough to reach a definitive conclusion that REYATAZ/ritonavir and lopinavir/ritonavir are equivalent on the secondary efficacy outcome measure of proportions below the HIV RNA lower limit of detection [see Clinical Studies (14.2)

Sample Use Guides

The recommended dose of REYATAZ ((atazanavir sulfate) capsules) is 400 mg (two 200-mg capsules) once daily taken with food. When coadministered with efavirenz, it is recommended that REYATAZ 300 mg and ritonavir 100 mg be given with efavirenz 600 mg (all as a single daily dose with food). REYATAZ without ritonavir should not be coadministered with efavirenz. When coadministered with didanosine buffered formulations, 589 REYATAZ should be given (with food) 2 hours before or 1 hour after didanosine.
Route of Administration: Oral
It was investigated the effect of atazanavir on P-glycoprotein (P-gp) expression and activity, as well as its inhibitory potency against CYP3A activity. Induction of P-gp activity and expression was studied using LS180V cells. P-gp inhibition was studied using both LS180V cells and Caco-2 cells. Extended (3-day) exposure of LS180V cells to 30 microM atazanavir caused a 2.5-fold increase in immunoreactive P-gp expression as well as a concentration-dependent decrease of intracellular Rh123 to a mean 45% (S.D. 5.2%) of control. Acute exposure (2 h) of LS180V cells to atazanavir increased intracellular Rh123 concentrations up to 300% of control at 100 microM atazanavir. At 30 microM and above, acute atazanavir exposure reversed P-gp induction caused by 3-day pretreatment with 10 microM ritonavir. P-gp inhibition was also observed in Caco-2 cells, causing an effect comparable to that observed for the known P-gp inhibitor verapamil (50% of control). In HLM, atazanavir was an inhibitor of triazolam hydroxylation, with inhibitory potency greatly increased by preincubation. IC50 values with and without preincubation were 0.31 microM (S.D. 0.13) and 5.7 microM (S.D. 4.1), respectively.
