Development of a Physiologically-Based Pharmacokinetic Model for Preterm Neonates: Evaluation with In Vivo Data.

abstract：:Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) are components of most current antiretroviral (ARV) regimens. Side effects arising from mitochondrial toxicity (MtT) induced by these drugs is a common reason why patients treated with NRTI change or discontinue therapy. These toxicities can be difficult to reverse, ...
