Darunavir, a protease inhibitor, constitute the highly active antiretroviral therapy against the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. It is one of agents given free by the Brazilian Health System (SUS). Generic products have contributed to the maintenance and the policy of free distribution of medicines by the decreasing of costs of these products. In this way, this study seeks to provide information on the physical and chemical behavior and stability of the drug and formulation, facing different weather conditions, as well as provide information on their solubility and release from the formulation. It also aims to provide in vitro and in silico tools to contribute in the near future, for the production of new products containing darunavir, especially generic medicines. Therefore, the solubility of the drug was investigated in different media. The low aqueous solubility of the drug was observed, and suitable media for dissolution testing were chosen. The in vitro dissolution profile of darunavir and the in vivo absorption from Prezista® (tablets containing 300 mg of drug) were investigated. It was obtained a discriminating dissolution profile of the product and a method of quantification by spectrophotometry derivative was developed and validated. A correlation between the data of in vitro dissolved fraction and in vivo absorbed fraction of darunavir was achieved (r2 = 0.95). This is a predictive method to evaluate the in vivo performance of darunavir from immediate-release tablets, based on in vitro data, and it is important to minimize the use of animals and humans in experiments during the development of new medicines containing darunavir. In addition, an in silico tool was developed and validated for predicting the oral bioavailability of darunavir formulations, from their dissolution profile. For this, physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling was applied through Simcyp® software. These, in vitro and in silico tools, assist in ...
