Product Description

Abacavir (formerly also known as ABC, or 1592U89; trade names: Ziagen; Epzicom) is a commonly used nucleoside analogue of the NRTI class with potent antiviral activity against HIV-1. Abacavir is a widely used antiretroviral medication used to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS. It is of the nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) type. Viral strains that are resistant to zidovudine (AZT) or lamivudine (3TC) are generally, but not always, sensitive to abacavir. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, a list of the most important medication needed in a basic health system.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)

ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
Following oral administration of 600 mg of radiolabeled abacavir, 82.2% of the dose was excreted in the urine and 16% in the feces. Of the radioactive material recovered in the urine, 30% was the 5-carboxylic acid metabolite, 36% the 5-glucuronide metabolite, and 1.2% was unchanged abacavir; unidentified minor metabolites accounted for 15% of the radioactive material recovered in the urine. It is currently unknown whether abacavir is distributed into human milk; however, it is distributed into breast milk in rats. Abacavir crosses the rat placenta. Abacavir has high oral bioavailability, regardless of food intake. The cerebrospinal fluid to plasma AUC ratio is approximately 0.3. For more complete data on the absorption, distribution, and excretion of abacavir sulfate (7 types), please visit the HSDB records page.
Metabolism/Metabolites
Abacavir is partially metabolized by alcohol dehydrogenase (to produce 5'-carboxylic acid) and glucuronidation (to produce 5'-glucuronide).
The metabolic pathway of abacavir is not fully understood, but the drug is metabolized in the liver. Abacavir is metabolized by alcohol dehydrogenase to produce 5'-carboxylic acid, and by glucuronidase to produce 5'-glucuronide; these metabolites do not appear to have any antiviral activity. Cytochrome P450 isoenzymes are involved in abacavir metabolism to a limited extent.
Intracellularly, abacavir is phosphorylated by adenosine phosphotransferase to abacavir monophosphate; abacavir monophosphate is then converted to carbovir monophosphate by cytoplasmic enzymes, and then to carbovir triphosphate by cellular kinases. The intracellular (host cell) conversion of abacavir to carbovir triphosphate is necessary for the drug to exert its antiviral activity. In vitro experiments showed that the intracellular half-life of carbovir triphosphate (SRP: a metabolite of abacavir sulfate) in CD4+ CEM cells was 3.3 hours.
Biological half-life
In vitro experiments showed that the intracellular half-life of carbovir triphosphate (SRP: a metabolite of abacavir sulfate) in CD4+ CEM cells was 3.3 hours.
The plasma elimination half-life after a single oral dose of abacavir (in the form of abacavir sulfate) is approximately 1.5 hours. In HIV-infected children aged 3 months to 13 years, the steady-state plasma elimination half-life after receiving 8 mg/kg abacavir every 12 hours (in the form of an oral solution containing abacavir sulfate) was on average 1.3 hours, essentially the same as the half-life after a single dose. In a patient with renal failure (glomerular filtration rate less than 10 mL/min) undergoing peritoneal dialysis, the plasma elimination half-life of the drug after a single oral dose of 300 mg abacavir was 1.33 hours.
Abacavir sulfate (ABC) has an oral bioavailability of 76% in humans [4]
Abacavir sulfate (ABC) is rapidly absorbed in the human body. After oral administration of 300 mg, the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) is 3.0 μg/mL, and the time to peak concentration (Tmax) is 0.8 hours [4]
The area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC0–24h) of abacavir sulfate (ABC) in humans is 8.6 μg·h/mL (300 mg twice daily) [4]
The volume of abacavir sulfate (ABC) in the human body is 0.8 L/kg [4]
The plasma elimination half-life (t1/2) of abacavir sulfate (ABC) in the human body is 1.5 hours [4]
Abacavir sulfate (ABC) is primarily metabolized in the liver by alcohol dehydrogenase and glucuronyl transferase [4]. Renal excretion accounts for 1.2% of the administered dose of abacavir sulfate (ABC) [4].
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation
◉ Overview of Use During Lactation
Abacavir is present in small amounts in breast milk. Information on the safety of abacavir during lactation is very limited. Achieving and maintaining viral suppression through antiretroviral therapy can reduce the risk of breast milk transmission to below 1%, but not zero. Breastfeeding should be supported for HIV-infected individuals receiving antiretroviral therapy with persistently undetectable viral load. If viral load is not suppressed, pasteurized donor breast milk or formula is recommended.
◉ Effects on Breastfed Infants
An HIV-positive mother took a once-daily combination tablet (Triumeq) containing 50 mg dolutegravir, 600 mg abacavir sulfate, and 300 mg lamivudine. Her infant was exclusively breastfed for approximately 30 weeks, followed by partial breastfeeding for approximately 20 weeks. No significant side effects were observed.
◉ Effects on Lactation and Breast Milk
Gynecomastia has been reported in men receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy. Gynecomastia initially occurs unilaterally, but approximately half of cases progress to bilateral gynecomastia. No changes in serum prolactin levels have been observed, and it usually resolves spontaneously within one year even with continued treatment. Some case reports and in vitro studies suggest that protease inhibitors may cause hyperprolactinemia and galactorrhea in some male patients, but this conclusion remains controversial. The implications of these findings for lactating women are unclear. For established lactating mothers, prolactin levels may not affect their ability to breastfeed.
Drug Interactions Concomitant administration of ethanol and abacavir may lead to increased abacavir concentration and half-life due to their competition for the common metabolic pathway via alcohol dehydrogenase. In patients with stable conditions who were receiving oral methadone maintenance therapy, methadone clearance increased by 22% after starting abacavir (600 mg twice daily); however, the increase in clearance was not clinically significant for most patients; a small number of patients may require an increase in the methadone dose.
Abacavir sulfate (ABC) induces arterial thrombosis in mice at doses ≥ 50 mg/kg/day [2]
Abacavir sulfate (ABC) has a plasma protein binding rate < 5% in humans [4]
In humans, the most common adverse reactions include nausea (11%), headache (9%), and fatigue (7%); approximately 5% of patients experience severe hypersensitivity reactions [4]
Abacavir sulfate (ABC) does not cause significant mitochondrial toxicity to human adipocytes, unlike stavudine [4]
The oral LD50 of abacavir sulfate (ABC) in mice is > 2000 mg/kg [4]

Therapeutic Uses
Abacavir is indicated for the treatment of HIV-1 infection when used in combination with other medications. /US product label contains/
Drug Warnings A unique, potentially fatal hypersensitivity reaction occurs in 2% to 5% of patients receiving abacavir. Symptoms typically appear within the first six weeks of treatment and include fever, rash, nausea, fatigue, and respiratory symptoms, with varying combinations. Symptoms may initially be mild but worsen with continued use. Discontinuation of the drug usually resolves all signs and symptoms, but re-administration can lead to a rapid onset of severe reactions, hypotension, or even death. If an abacavir hypersensitivity reaction is suspected or confirmed, patients are advised never to use abacavir again.
The main toxicity of abacavir treatment is potentially life-threatening hypersensitivity. Clinical studies have shown that approximately 5% of adult and pediatric patients receiving abacavir in combination with lamivudine and zidovudine have reported hypersensitivity reactions. There have been reports of deaths related to abacavir hypersensitivity reactions. Hypersensitivity reactions typically occur within the first 6 weeks of abacavir treatment, but can also occur at any time during treatment. In patients with a history of hypersensitivity to this drug, severe hypersensitivity reactions are likely to recur within hours of re-administration of abacavir, and these reactions can include life-threatening hypotension and death. The most severe hypersensitivity reaction reported to date occurred in a patient who had a history of hypersensitivity to this drug and was re-administered abacavir. Furthermore, severe or fatal hypersensitivity reactions have been reported in patients with no prior history of abacavir hypersensitivity or with unidentified symptoms of hypersensitivity. Although these patients discontinued abacavir for reasons unrelated to hypersensitivity (e.g., drug supply interruption, discontinuation of abacavir during treatment of other diseases), some patients may have experienced symptoms consistent with hypersensitivity before discontinuation, but these symptoms were attributed to other diseases (e.g., acute respiratory illness, gastroenteritis, adverse reactions to other drugs). Most hypersensitivity reactions reported after re-administration of abacavir are indistinguishable from those caused by re-administration of abacavir (i.e., short onset of action, worsening of symptoms, poor prognosis, and even death). Hypersensitivity reactions can occur within hours of re-administration of abacavir; however, in some cases, these reactions occur within days to weeks after re-administration of the drug. Lactic acidosis and severe hepatomegaly with steatosis (sometimes fatal) have been reported in patients treated with abacavir, and have also been reported in patients treated with dideoxynucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. Most reported cases are in women; obesity and long-term use of nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors may also be risk factors. Elevated serum gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT, GGPT) levels have been reported in patients treated with abacavir. Hypersensitivity reactions reported in patients treated with abacavir are characterized by symptoms suggesting involvement of multiple organs and systems; these reactions have been associated with anaphylactic shock, liver failure, kidney failure, hypotension, and death. The most common manifestations of abacavir hypersensitivity include fever, rash, fatigue, gastrointestinal symptoms (such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain), and respiratory symptoms (such as pharyngitis, dyspnea, and cough). Other signs and symptoms include malaise, drowsiness, myalgia, rhabdomyolysis, headache, arthralgia, edema, paresthesia, lymphadenopathy, and mucosal damage (such as conjunctivitis and oral ulcers). Approximately 20% of patients with abacavir hypersensitivity report respiratory symptoms, including cough, dyspnea, and pharyngitis. Some patients may die if their initial presentation is respiratory symptoms when they develop a hypersensitivity reaction; some patients who experience fatal hypersensitivity reactions are initially diagnosed with an acute respiratory illness (pneumonia, bronchitis, influenza-like illness). Hypersensitivity reactions may also occur without a rash. If a rash does occur, it is usually a maculopapular rash or urticaria, but the appearance may vary. Laboratory abnormalities reported by patients who experienced hypersensitivity reactions after taking abacavir included lymphopenia and elevated serum liver enzymes, creatine kinase (CK, creatine phosphokinase, CPK), or creatinine levels. For more complete data on abacavir sulfate (17 in total), please visit the HSDB records page.
Adult and Child Infection[4]
Abacavir sulfate (ABC) exerts its antiviral effect by being converted into abacavir triphosphate in cells. Abacavir triphosphate competes with deoxyguanosine triphosphate (dGTP) for incorporation into viral DNA, thereby terminating HIV-1 DNA synthesis[4]
Abacavir sulfate (ABC) has anticancer activity against prostate cancer and medulloblastoma, possibly by inhibiting cellular DNA replication[1][3]
Abacavir sulfate (ABC) is recommended for use as an alternative to stavudine in HIV treatment regimens, reducing lipomatosis and mitochondrial toxicity[4]. In 1998, the FDA approved abacavir sulfate (ABC) for HIV-1 treatment[4].
