Rifampicin a critical component of tuberculosis TB therapy is a potent inducer of CYP enzyme activity. Polymorphisms of CYP2B6 and CYP3A4 are associated with altered activity of hepatic enzyme in the liver and pharmacokinetics resulting in treatment efficacy. This study aimed to investigate whether CYP2B6 or CYP3A4 polymorphisms had effects on plasma efavirenz and nevirapine concentrations when co-administered with rifampicin in HIV TB co-infected Thai adults. Results We studied 124 rifampicin recipients with concurrent HIV-1 TB coinfection receiving efavirenz 600 mg day n 65 or nevirapine 400 mg day n 59 based antiretroviral therapy ART . The frequencies of GG GT and TT genotypes of CYP2B6-G516T were and in efavirenz group and and in nevirapine group respectively. The mean 12-hour post-dose plasma efavirenz concentration in patients with TT genotype at weeks 6 and 12 of ART and 1 month after rifampicin discontinuation and mg L respectively were significantly higher than those with GT and mg L respectively p or GG genotypes and mg L respectively p . Likewise the mean 12-hour post-dose plasma nevirapine concentration in patients carrying TT .
