Abstract

Our objective was to determine whether age effects the pharmacokinetics of stavudine (2',3'-didehydro-3'-deoxythymidine) in the neonatal pig-tailed macaque (Macaca nemestrina). The drug (5 mg/kg of body weight) was administered serially as a single intravenous bolus to the same four macaques at the ages of < 1 week, 1 month, and 4 months. Plasma clearance at < 1 week of age was significantly lower (P < 0.05) than the corresponding values at 1 month and 4 months. Our data indicate that the pharmacokinetics of stavudine change significantly with age in M. nemestrina.
