Darunavir-cobicistat versus lopinavir-ritonavir in the treatment of COVID-19 infection (DOLCI): A multicenter observational study
ConclusionIn patients with COVID-19 pneumonia, early treatment with lopinavir-ritonavir was associated with faster time to clinical improvement and/or virological clearance than darunavir-cobicistat. Future trials are warranted to confirm these findings. Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT04425382. (Source: PLoS One)

Pharmacokinetics of Temsavir, the Active Moiety of the HIV-1 Attachment Inhibitor Prodrug, Fostemsavir, Coadministered with Cobicistat, Etravirine, Darunavir/Cobicistat, or Darunavir/Ritonavir with or without Etravirine in Healthy Participants
Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2022 Mar 22:e0225121. doi: 10.1128/aac.02251-21. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFostemsavir is a prodrug of temsavir, a first-in-class attachment inhibitor that binds directly to HIV-1 gp120, preventing initial viral attachment and entry into host CD4+ T cells with demonstrated efficacy in phase 2 and 3. Temsavir is a P-glycoprotein and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) substrate; its metabolism is mediated by esterase and CYP3A4 enzymes. Drugs that induce or inhibit CYP3A, P-glycoprotein, and BCRP may affect temsavir concentrations. Understanding potential drug-drug interactions (DDIs) fo...

Current status of therapeutic alternatives for COVID-19: A narrative review
Infez Med. 2021 Sep 10;29(3):312-327. doi: 10.53854/liim-2903-2. eCollection 2021.ABSTRACTSince December 2019, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has exploded and led to a global crisis. Currently, the global case numbers topped 200 million, and toll of dead exceeded 4 million around the world. The pathogenesis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is driven by two processes. During the first stage of the infection that lasts around 5-7 days, replication of SARS-CoV-2 occurs. In the second stage, the disease may progress due to an exaggerated inflammatory response leading to tissue dama...
