Defining tissue and plasma-specific prophylactic drug concentrations is central to pre-exposure prophylaxis product development for sexual transmission of HIV-1. Pharmacokinetic (PK) data from study RMP-02/MTN-006 comparing single dose oral tenofovir disoproxil fumarate with single and multiple dose rectal tenofovir (TFV) gel administration in HIV-1 seronegative adults was used to construct a multicompartment plasma-rectal tissue population PK model for TFV and tenofovir-diphosphate (TFVdp) in plasma and rectal tissue. PK data were collected in five matrices: TFV (plasma, rectal tissue homogenate), TFVdp (peripheral blood mononuclear cells, rectal mononuclear cells (MMCs), rectal tissue homogenate). A viral growth compartment and a delayed effect compartment for p24 antigen expression measured from an ex vivo explant assay described HIV-1 infection and replication. Using a linear PK/pharmacodynamic model, MMC TFVdp levels over 9,000 fmol/million cells in the explant assay provided appa...rent viral replication suppression down to 1%. Parameters were estimated using NONMEM version 7.4.
