A potential long-acting bictegravir loaded nano-drug delivery system for HIV-1 infection: A proof-of-concept study
Bictegravir (BIC), a newly FDA-approved integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI), as a single tablet regimen has proven efficacious in treating HIV-1 and SIV viruses, with reduced resistance. BIC clinical trials have not investigated its prophylaxis potency. This study investigates the HIV preven...

Summary: | Bictegravir (BIC), a newly FDA-approved integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI), as a single tablet regimen has proven efficacious in treating HIV-1 and SIV viruses, with reduced resistance. BIC clinical trials have not investigated its prophylaxis potency. This study investigates the HIV prevention potency of a novel long-acting BIC nano-formulation aimed to improve adherence. Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) loaded BIC nanoparticles (BIC NPs) were formulated using an oil-in-water emulsion methodology. BIC NPs were |
