A review of remdesivir for COVID-19 in pregnancy and lactation

Sarah C. J. Jorgensen et al.

Summary: Pregnant individuals face a higher risk of severe COVID-19 complications compared to non-pregnant individuals, yet they are excluded from clinical trials, leading to knowledge gaps. Data from post-marketing studies are filling these gaps, aiding in informing clinical decisions regarding the use of remdesivir during pregnancy and lactation.

ADME and Pharmacokinetic Properties of Remdesivir: Its Drug Interaction Potential

Subrata Deb et al.

Summary: The global pandemic of COVID-19 has highlighted the importance of exploring treatment options like remdesivir, originally designed for Ebola, in combating the disease. However, limited information on the ADME, PK, and DDI of remdesivir underscores the need for further research to ensure effective treatment for patients.

Maternal and perinatal outcomes of pregnant women with SARS-CoV-2 infection at the time of birth in England: national cohort study

Ipek Gurol-Urganci et al.

Summary: This study found that SARS-CoV-2 infection at the time of birth is associated with higher rates of adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes, including fetal death, preterm birth, preeclampsia, and emergency cesarean delivery. Pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV-2 should be prioritized for vaccination to reduce these risks.

Inclusion of pregnant women in COVID-19 treatment trials: a review and global call to action

Melanie M. Taylor et al.

Summary: Despite the surge in COVID-19 treatment studies, a consistent proportion continue to exclude pregnant women, with many treatments under evaluation having low or no safety concerns during pregnancy. Urgent inclusion of pregnant women in clinical treatment trials is needed to identify effective COVID-19 treatments for this population.

Can remdesivir and its parent nucleoside GS-441524 be potential oral drugs? An in vitro and in vivo DMPK assessment

Jiashu Xie et al.

Summary: The study examined the potential of Remdesivir and its parent nucleoside GS-441524 as oral drugs for treating COVID-19. Results showed that Remdesivir had poor stability in vitro, while GS-441524 exhibited better metabolic stability and oral bioavailability, indicating its potential as a promising oral antiviral drug for COVID-19 treatment.

Quantitative HPLC-MS/MS determination of Nuc, the active metabolite of remdesivir, and its pharmacokinetics in rat

Ping Du et al.

Summary: A robust HPLC-MS/MS method was developed to determine Nuc concentrations in rat plasma samples, which was successfully applied in a rat pharmacokinetics study of remdesivir and can serve as a basis for further investigations in patients with COVID-19. The method met the requirements of the FDA guidelines and ensured robustness and reproducibility.

Potency and pharmacokinetics of GS-441524 derivatives against SARS-CoV-2

Daibao Wei et al.

Summary: Nucleoside metabolite GS-441524, an analog of remdesivir, shows potent anti-SARS-CoV-2 efficacy but has poor oral bioavailability in non-human primates. Various GS-441524 analogs with modifications and prodrug forms were developed, with the 7-fluoro analog 3c and certain prodrugs demonstrating moderate to excellent activities and oral bioavailabilities, providing insights for pharmacokinetic optimization.

Blood-Placental Barrier Transfers and Pharmacokinetics of Unbound Morphine in Pregnant Rats with Multiple Microdialysis Systems

I-Hsin Lin et al.

Summary: Microdialysis coupled with UHPLC-MS/MS was used to monitor unbound morphine and its metabolites in pregnant rats. The study revealed rapid biotransformation of morphine and partial transfer of morphine and its metabolites across the blood-placental barrier in pregnant rats. This method can be applied to study maternal pharmacokinetics and blood-placental transfer in pregnant rats.

A mechanism-based pharmacokinetic model of remdesivir leveraging interspecies scaling to simulate COVID-19 treatment in humans

Patrick O. Hanafin et al.

Summary: The outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 led to the COVID-19 pandemic with millions of confirmed infections and deaths worldwide. Remdesivir has shown effectiveness against coronaviruses, but its distribution to the site of lung infection in humans is unknown. Alternative dosing strategies may be needed to achieve more efficacious concentrations in human lungs.
