Anderson ABSTRACT Nucleoside analog Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTI) are a class of antiretro- virals used to prevent and treat HIV infection that possess a unique and complex phar- macology. Drugs in this class require three successive intracellular phosphorylation steps to the active nucleotide-TP form, which competes with endogenous nucleotides for incorporation into growing viral DNA strands, and when incorporated, halts viral propagation. Additionally, clinical doses of these drugs are associated with acute and chronic toxicities, further complicating clinical management of these drugs. It is expected that a comprehensive and unified understanding of NRTI cellular pharma- cology will provide valuable information to the scientific community, and ultimately to clinicians managing HIV and drug-associated toxicities. Data from an in vivo clinical study of HIV-seronegative and seropositive individuals was used to develop a com- plete cellular pharmacology model for two NRTI-ZDV and 3TC. This work focuses on the analytical methodologies for quantitating plasma and intracellular NRTI concen- trations, describing the pharmacology relevant to these drugs, and the mathematical models used to comprehensively evaluate these data. Significant drug PK findings include the decreased concentrations of intracellular-TP in HIV+ individuals, the ef- fect of SNPs in ABCG2 and other genes on plasma/intracellular PK and PD, and a linked mathematical model for the stimulation of intracellular-MP and subsequent conversion to -DP and -TP from plasma concentrations. Modeled intracellular -MP and -TP levels were evaluated for relationships with PD outcomes, such as viral load, mitochondrial DNA counts, and other clinical markers of drug-associated toxicities. iii The power of these results is limited, due to the short term of the clinical study (12 days) and the population size and diversity (43 subjects: 20 HIV-, 23 HIV+). How- ever, these results successfully explore the relationships between ZDV and 3TC PK, PD, and PG, and provide a foundation for further evaluation and replication of these associations in a larger and more diverse population over a longer study period, in an effort to individualize and improve the clinical care of HIV.

Anderson iv DEDICATION This dissertation is dedicated to my parents, to whom I am forever indebted for continually pushing me to question and learn and evaluate. I am also grateful to all of those that have taught me, and instilled in me a passion for science. I am also extremely grateful to my wife Caitlin, for her love and support through this process, and the joy and blessing that she brings to my every moment. Finally, this work is dedicated to my grandpa, who will always be loved and is greatly missed. His battle with inclusion body myositis inspired my passion for clinical/translational medical research, a passion which comes to full fruition in this work. v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to thank the NIH AIDS Research and Reference Reagent Program for the antiretroviral drugs used for assays; the study personnel and nursing who assisted with the clinical protocol; and the subjects who participated in the clinical studies.
