Background. Sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) is among the most commonly used antimalarial drugs during pregnancy, yet the pharmacokinetics of SP are unknown in pregnant women. HIV-infected (HIV+) women require more frequent doses of intermittent preventive therapy with SP than do HIV- uninfected (HIV-) women. We investigated whether this reflects their impaired immunity or an HIV- associated alteration in the disposition of SP.Methods. Seventeen pregnant HIV- women and 16 pregnant HIV+ women received a dose of 1500 mg of sulfadoxine and 75 mg of pyrimethamine. Five HIV- and 6 HIV+ postpartum women returned 2-3 months after delivery for another dose. The pharmacokinetics of sulfadoxine and pyrimethamine were compared between these groups.Results. HIV status did not affect the area under the curve (AUC(0 ->infinity)) or the half-lives of sulfadoxine or pyrimethamine in prepartum or postpartum women, although partum status did have a significant affect on sulfadoxine pharmacokinetics. Among prepartum women, the median half-life for sulfadoxine was significantly shorter than that observed in postpartum women (148 vs 256 h; Pinfinity) was similar to 40% lower (22,816 vs 40,106 mg/ mL/ h, P
