National Library of Medicine's Medical Subject Headings. Efavirenz. Online file (MeSH, 2014). Available from, as of November 19, 2013: https://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/2014/mesh_browser/MBrowser.html
Due to ongoing neuropsychiatric adverse events in some efavirenz (EFV)-treated patients, a switch to an alternative non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor may be considered. Rilpivirine (RPV) has been coformulated as a single-tablet regimen (STR) with emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (FTC/TDF), and the components have demonstrated noninferior efficacy to EFV+FTC/TDF, good tolerability profile, and high adherence. After discontinuation, EFV has an extended inductive effect on cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 that, after switching, may reduce RPV exposures and adversely impact clinical outcomes. This study examines the clinical implications of reduced RPV exposures with concomitant FTC/TDF and declining EFV exposures when patients, intolerant to EFV, switch from EFV/FTC/TDF to RPV/FTC/TDF. This 48-week, phase 2b, open-label, multicenter study evaluated the efficacy and safety of switching from EFV/FTC/TDF (>/= 3 months duration) to RPV/FTC/TDF. Virologic suppression (HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL), safety, and EFV and RPV pharmacokinetics were assessed. At weeks 12 and 24, all 49 dosed subjects remained suppressed on RPV/FTC/TDF. At week 48, 46 (93.9%) subjects remained suppressed and virologic failure occurred in 2/49 (4.1%) subjects with no emergence of resistance. EFV concentrations were above the 90th percentile for inhibitory concentration (IC90) for several weeks after EFV discontinuation, and RPV exposures were in the range observed in phase 3 studies by approximately 2 weeks post switch. No subjects discontinued the study due to an adverse event. Switching from EFV/FTC/TDF to RPV/FTC/ TDF was a safe, efficacious option for virologically suppressed HIV-infected patients with EFV intolerance wishing to remain on an STR.

To report a case of acquired long QT syndrome that, after exclusion of all other possible causes, was probably related to therapy with efavirenz, a novel nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor.
PMID:12022902 Castillo R et al; Ann Pharmacother 36 (6): 1006-8 (2002)
About 53% of adults receiving efavirenz (600 mg once daily) in controlled clinical studies reported adverse CNS effects such as abnormal dreams, abnormal thinking, agitation, amnesia, confusion, depersonalization, dizziness, euphoria, hallucinations, impaired concentration, insomnia, somnolence, and stupor; these adverse effects were reported in 25% of adults in the control groups not receiving efavirenz. These effects were described as mild (do not interfere with daily activities) in 33.3%, moderate (may interfere with daily activities) in 17.4%, or severe (interrupt usual daily activities) in 2% of patients receiving efavirenz and required discontinuance of the drug in 2.1%. Dizziness was reported in 28.1% and insomnia was reported in 16.3% of patients receiving the drug. Impaired concentration, somnolence, or abnormal dreams were reported in 6.2-8.3% and hallucinations were reported in 1.2% of patients.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2013; Drug Information 2013. Bethesda, MD. 2013, p. 660
Serious adverse psychiatric symptoms have been reported rarely in adults receiving efavirenz. Severe depression, suicidal ideation, nonfatal suicide attempts, aggressive behavior, paranoid reactions, or manic reactions have been reported in 0.4-1.6% of patients receiving efavirenz in controlled clinical studies; these psychiatric symptoms were reported in up to 0.6% of those in the control groups not receiving the drug. The incidence of each of these psychiatric symptoms ranges from 0.3% (for manic reactions) to 2% (for severe depression or suicidal ideation) in patients with a prior history of psychiatric disorders, and these individuals appear to be at greater risk of such symptoms than other individuals. Other psychiatric symptoms reported in controlled clinical studies in adults receiving efavirenz include depression (15.8%), anxiety (11.1%), and nervousness (6.3%); these symptoms were reported in 13.1, 7.6, or 2%, respectively, of those in the control groups not receiving the drug. Although a causal relationship with efavirenz has not been established, there have been occasional postmarketing reports of death by suicide, delusions, or psychosis-like behavior in patients receiving efavirenz. In addition, aggressive reactions, agitation, emotional lability, mania, neurosis,and paranoia have been reported during postmarketing surveillance. There is no evidence that patients who develop adverse CNS effects (e.g., dizziness, insomnia, impaired concentration, abnormal dreams) during efavirenz therapy are at greater risk of developing psychiatric symptoms.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2013; Drug Information 2013. Bethesda, MD. 2013, p. 661
Fatigue has been reported in up to 7% of adults receiving efavirenz in clinical studies. Other adverse nervous system effects reported during postmarketing surveillance include abnormal coordination, ataxia, seizures, hypoesthesia, paresthesia, neuropathy, and tremor. Adverse CNS effects occurred in 18% of children receiving efavirenz in clinical studies.

Efavirenz (dideoxyinosine, ddI) is an oral non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI). It is a synthetic purine derivative and, similar to zidovudine, zalcitabine, and stavudine. Efavirenz was originally approved specifically for the treatment of HIV infections in patients who failed therapy with zidovudine. Currently, the CDC recommends that Efavirenz be given as part of a three-drug regimen that includes another nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (e.g., lamivudine, stavudine, zidovudine) and a protease inhibitor or efavirenz when treating HIV infection.

Route of Elimination
Nearly all of the urinary excretion of the radiolabeled drug was in the form of metabolites.
Oral bioavailability of efavirenz may be affected by administration with food. Administration of a single 600-mg dose of efavirenz as capsules with a high-fat, high-calorie meal (894 kcal, 54 g fat, 54% of calories from fat) or a reduced-fat, normal-calorie meal (440 kcal, 2 g fat, 4% of calories from fat) increases peak plasma concentrations of the drug by 39 or 51%, respectively, and AUC by 22 or 17%, respectively, compared with administration in the fasting state. Administration of a single 600-mg dose of efavirenz as tablets with a high-fat, high-calorie meal (approximately 1000 kcal, 500-600 kcal from fat) increases peak plasma concentrations and AUC of the drug by 79 and 28%, respectively, compared with administration in the fasting state.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2013; Drug Information 2013. Bethesda, MD. 2013, p. 667
Efavirenz is excreted principally in the feces, both as unchanged drug and metabolites. Excretion of efavirenz has been evaluated in individuals receiving 400 mg daily for 1 month. Following oral administration of 400 mg of radiolabeled efavirenz on day 8, 14-34% of the dose was excreted in urine (less than 1% as unchanged drug), and 16-61% was excreted in feces (predominantly as unchanged drug).
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2013; Drug Information 2013. Bethesda, MD. 2013, p. 667
Efavirenz is about 99.5-99.75% bound to plasma proteins, principally albumin.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2013; Drug Information 2013. Bethesda, MD. 2013, p. 667
In HIV-infected adults receiving efavirenz 200, 400, or 600 mg once daily, peak plasma concentrations of the drug generally occur in 3-5 hours and steady-state plasma concentrations are achieved in 6-10 days. Following continued administration of efavirenz, plasma concentrations are lower than expected from single-dose studies, presumably because of increased clearance of the drug. In one study in individuals receiving efavirenz 200-400 mg once daily for 10 days, plasma concentrations of the drug were 22-42% lower than those predicted from single-dose studies. Following oral administration of efavirenz 600 mg once daily in HIV-infected adults, peak plasma concentration, trough plasma concentration, and AUC of the drug at steady-state averaged 4.1 mcg/mL, 1.8 mcg/mL, and 58. mcg*hour/mL, respectively.

Efavirenz is principally metabolized by the cytochrome P450 system to hydroxylated metabolites with subsequent glucuronidation of these hydroxylated metabolites. These metabolites are essentially inactive against HIV-1.
Efavirenz was metabolized extensively by all the species as evidenced by the excretion of none or trace quantities of parent compound in urine. Significant species differences in the metabolism of efavirenz were observed. The major metabolite excreted in the urine of all species was the O-glucuronide conjugate (M1) of the 8-hydroxylated metabolite. Efavirenz was also metabolized by direct conjugation with glucuronic acid, forming the N-glucuronide (M2) in all five species. The sulfate conjugate of 8-OH efavirenz (M3) was found in the urine of rats and cynomolgus monkeys but not in humans. In addition to the aromatic ring-hydroxylated products, metabolites with a hydroxylated cyclopropane ring (at C14) were also isolated. GSH-related products of efavirenz were identified in rats and guinea pigs. The cysteinylglycine adduct (M10), formed from the GSH adduct (M9), was found in significant quantities in only rat and guinea pig urine and was not detected in other species. In vitro metabolism studies were conducted to show that the GSH adduct was produced from the cyclopropanol intermediate (M11) in the presence of only rat liver and kidney subcellular fractions and was not formed by similar preparations from humans or cynomolgus monkeys. These studies indicated the existence of a specific glutathione-S-transferase in rats capable of metabolizing the cyclopropanol metabolite (M11) to the GSH adduct, M9.

Efavirenz is a substrate for cytochrome p450 isoforms, particularly CYP3A4 and CYP2B6. The 8-hydroxy metabolite is excreted in the urine, and the glucuronide conjugate of 8-hydroxy-efavirenz is present in plasma and urine. Sixty percent of the dose is excreted in urine as the glucuronide conjugate.

The terminal elimination half-life of efavirenz is prolonged in patients with chronic liver disease. Following oral administration of a single 400-mg dose of efavirenz, an elimination half-life of 152 or 118 hours was reported in individuals with or without chronic liver disease, respectively.

The terminal elimination half-life of efavirenz reported in single-dose studies is longer than that reported in multiple-dose studies and has averaged 52-76 hours after a single oral dose and 40-55 hours following administration of 200-400 mg daily for 10 days.

Similar to zidovudine, efavirenz inhibits the activity of viral RNA-directed DNA polymerase (i.e., reverse transcriptase). Antiviral activity of efavirenz is dependent on intracellular conversion to the active triphosphorylated form. The rate of efavirenz phosphorylation varies, depending on cell type. It is believed that inhibition of reverse transcriptase interferes with the generation of DNA copies of viral RNA, which, in turn, are necessary for synthesis of new virions. Intracellular enzymes subsequently eliminate the HIV particle that previously had been uncoated, and left unprotected, during entry into the host cell. Thus, reverse transcriptase inhibitors are virustatic and do not eliminate HIV from the body. Even though human DNA polymerase is less susceptible to the pharmacologic effects of triphosphorylated efavirenz, this action may nevertheless account for some of the drug's toxicity.
Efavirenz diffuses into the cell where it binds adjacent to the active site of reverse transcriptase. This produces a conformational change in the enzyme that inhibits function.
