Abstract
Although approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, enfuvirtide is rarely used in combination antiretroviral therapies (cART) to treat HIV-1 infection, primarily because of its intense dosing schedule that requires twice-daily subcutaneous injection. Here, we describe the development of enfuvirtide-loaded, degradable poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid microparticles that provide linear in vitro release of the drug over an 18-day period. This sustained-release formulation could make enfuvirtide more attractive for use in cART.Entities:
