The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection on buprenorphine pharmacokinetics in opioid-dependent, buprenorphine/naloxone-maintained adults.
A retrospective analysis of buprenorphine pharmacokinetics in HCV seropositive and seronegative buprenorphine/naloxone-maintained individuals (N = 49) was undertaken.
Relative to HCV seronegative subjects, HCV seropositive subjects had higher buprenorphine exposure, as demonstrated by elevated buprenorphine AUC and Cmax values (p = .03 and .02, respectively) and corresponding elevations in the metabolites, buprenorphine-3-glucuronide AUC values (p = .03) and norbuprenorphine-3-glucuronide AUC and C24 values (p = .05 and .03, respectively).
HCV infection was associated with higher plasma concentrations of buprenorphine and buprenorphine metabolites.
Findings suggest the potential for opioid toxicity among HCV-infected patients treated with buprenorphine/naloxone, and possible hepatotoxic effects related to increased buprenorphine exposure. HCV-infected patients receiving buprenorphine may need lower doses to maintain therapeutic plasma concentrations.
本研究旨在探讨丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)感染对阿片类药物依赖、丁丙诺啡/纳洛酮维持治疗的成年人丁丙诺啡药代动力学的影响。
对 HCV 血清阳性和血清阴性丁丙诺啡/纳洛酮维持治疗者(N=49)的丁丙诺啡药代动力学进行回顾性分析。
与 HCV 血清阴性者相比,HCV 血清阳性者的丁丙诺啡暴露量更高,表现为丁丙诺啡 AUC 和 Cmax 值升高(p=.03 和.02),相应代谢物丁丙诺啡-3-葡萄糖醛酸 AUC 值(p=.03)和去甲丁丙诺啡-3-葡萄糖醛酸 AUC 和 C24 值(p=.05 和.03)升高。
HCV 感染与丁丙诺啡和丁丙诺啡代谢物的血浆浓度升高有关。
研究结果表明,HCV 感染患者在接受丁丙诺啡/纳洛酮治疗时可能存在阿片类药物毒性的风险,以及与丁丙诺啡暴露增加相关的潜在肝毒性作用。接受丁丙诺啡治疗的 HCV 感染患者可能需要较低的剂量来维持治疗性血浆浓度。
