Brief Summary:
This is a clinical trial to characterize drug interactions between silimarine and the protease inhibitor darunavir/ritonavir.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
HIV Drug: Silimarine Phase 4

Detailed Description:

The silimarine is the main component of milk thistle (Sylibum marianum), a medicinal herb which, due to its attributed hepatoprotective properties, is widely used by HIV infected patients

15 patients on stable antiretroviral therapy including darunavir/ritonavir 600/100 mg twice a day during four weeks will be enrolled. After their inclusion in the study, patients will receive treatment with silimarine (150 mg every 8 hours) from day 1 until two weeks later (day 14). On days 0 and 14, blood samples will be drawn immediately before and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours after the administration of darunavir/ritonavir, and darunavir and ritonavir concentrations in plasma will be determined by high performance liquid chromatography using a validated method.

  2. Darunavir and ritonavir clearance (CL/F) [ Time Frame: DAY 0, day 14 ]
    Change from day 0 in Darunavir and ritonavir clearance at day 14

  3. Darunavir and ritonavir volume of distribution (V/F) [ Time Frame: DAY 0, day 14 ]
    Change from day 0 in Darunavir and ritonavir volume of distribution at day 14

  4. Darunavir and ritonavir elimination half-life (t1/2) of darunavir and ritonavir [ Time Frame: DAY 0, day 14 ]
