Fosamprenavir (Telzir) Fosamprenavir FACT (Telzir) SHEET Published 2014 Summary Fosamprenavir is a type of anti-HIV drug called a protease inhibitor The most common side effects of fosamprenavir can CONTACT US include gastrointestinal problems, headache, and rash. For the initial treatment of HIV, it is usually taken at a dose of 1400 mg by telephone (two tablets) with 200 mg (two capsules) ritonavir once daily. 1-800-263-1638 For treatment-experienced patients, it is usually taken at a dose 416-203-7122 of 700 mg (one tablet) twice daily with 100 mg (one capsule) by fax ritonavir also twice daily. Both medications may be taken with 416-203-8284 or without food. by e-mail [email protected] What is fosamprenavir? Fosamprenavir, sold under the brand name Telzir (Lexiva in the US), is a by mail type of anti-HIV drug (antiretroviral) drug called a protease inhibitor (PI). 555 Richmond Street West Fosamprenavir is used in combination with other anti-HIV drugs to treat (but Suite 505, Box 1104 not cure) HIV. Toronto ON M5V 3B1 How does fosamprenavir work? To explain how fosamprenavir works, we need to first tell you some information about HIV. When HIV infects a cell, it takes control of that cell. HIV then forces the cell to make many more copies of the virus. To make these copies, the cell uses proteins called enzymes. When the activity of these enzymes is reduced the production of HIV slows. Fosamprenavir belongs to a group or class of drugs called protease inhibitors. Fosamprenavir interferes with an enzyme called protease, which is used by HIV-infected cells to make new viruses. Once fosamprenavir is absorbed in the body, it is converted to its active, anti-HIV form called amprenavir. Since amprenavir inhibits, or reduces the activity of this enzyme, this drug causes HIV-infected cells to produce fewer viruses. How do people with HIV use fosamprenavir? Fosamprenavir is used in combination with several other anti-HIV drugs, usually nukes (nucleoside analogues), and sometimes including drugs from CATIE FACT SHEET: Fosamprenavir (Telzir) other classes such as non-nukes (non-nucleoside these side effects happened early in the course of reverse transcriptase inhibitors).

  • Telzir, INN-Fosamprenavir
    ANNEX I SUMMARY OF PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS 1 1. NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT Telzir 700 mg film-coated tablets 2. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION Each film-coated tablet contains 700 mg of fosamprenavir as fosamprenavir calcium (equivalent to approximately 600 mg of amprenavir). For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1. 3. PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Film-coated tablet Pink film coated, capsule shaped, biconvex tablets, marked with GXLL7 on one side. 4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 Therapeutic indications Telzir in combination with low dose ritonavir is indicated for the treatment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) infected adults, adolescents and children of 6 years and above in combination with other antiretroviral medicinal products. In moderately antiretroviral experienced adults, Telzir in combination with low dose ritonavir has not been shown to be as effective as lopinavir / ritonavir. No comparative studies have been undertaken in children or adolescents. In heavily pretreated patients the use of Telzir in combination with low dose ritonavir has not been sufficiently studied. In protease inhibitor (PI) experienced patients the choice of Telzir should be based on individual viral resistance testing and treatment history (see section 5.1). 4.2 Posology and method of administration Telzir must only be given with low dose ritonavir as a pharmacokinetic enhancer of amprenavir and in combination with other antiretroviral medicinal products. The Summary of Product Characteristics of ritonavir must therefore be consulted prior to initiation of therapy with Telzir. Therapy should be initiated by a physician experienced in the management of HIV infection. Fosamprenavir is a pro-drug of amprenavir and must not be administered concomitantly with other medicinal products containing amprenavir.

Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by Kuo-Hsiung Lee, PhD (Advisor) Kenneth F. Bastow, PhD Jian Liu, PhD Qian Shi, PhD Chin-Ho Chen, PhD i ©2010 Ting Zhou ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT TING ZHOU: DESIGN, SYNTHESIS, AND STRUCTURE-ACTIVITY RELATIONSHIP INVESTIGATION OF 3’,4’-DISUBSTITUTED PYRANOCHROMONE DERIVATIVES WITH DIVERSE BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES (Under the direction of Kenan Professor Kuo-Hsiung Lee) The overall goals of this research are to design and synthesize novel 3’,4’- disubstituted pyranochromone derivatives, to evaluate their anti-HIV activity and chemosensitizing potency, to elucidate structure-activity relationships (SAR), and to discover novel chemical entities. 3’R,4’R-Di-camphanoyl-khellactone analogs (DCKs) was first identified in our laboratory with high anti-HIV activity against wild-type HIV strain early in 1994. Using SAR-directed strategy, 3’R,4’R-di-camphanoyl-pyranochromone analogs (DCPs) were synthesized and evaluated in a continuing study, which showed high potency against both wild-type and multi-RT inhibitor-resistant strains. Mechanism study of DCK and its derivatives suggested that the compounds target HIV-RT in a unique way, by inhibiting its DNA-dependent DNA polymerase activity. A microwave-assisted one-pot reaction was first developed in our study and successfully applied in the preparation of 2’,2’-dimethyl-chromone motifs which were iii key intermediates in DCK and DCP derivatives.
