Summary

The aim of this study is to determine the pharmacokinetics of Kaletra™ (HIV protease inhibitors lopinavir and ritonavir) in different body compartments and to assess the role of four different drug transporters (MDR, MRP1, MRP2 and BCRP) in the tissue distribution of the two protease inhibitors. The latter will be studied by comparing intracellular concentrations of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with total and free plasma concentrations in healthy individuals. These effects will be studied after single dose (day 1), during steady state (day 3), and during chronic treatment (day 14).
