HIV/AIDS Drugs
In article 2203198, Garry Laverty and co-workers develop a long-acting injectable drug delivery implant composed of a short peptide sequence attached to the HIV/AIDS drug zidovudine. Upon injection, this aqueous solution-based formulation rapidly forms a drug-releasing hydrogel implant in response to phosphatase enzymes present within the skin space. Clinically relevant concentrations of zidovudine were delivered to rat models for 35 days, outlining the promise of this platform to improve patient adherence to HIV/AIDS drugs.
