Biological Activity Selectively inhibits HIV reverse transcriptase (RNA-dependent DNA polymerase). Prevents cytotoxicity in SIV-infected C-8166 cells in vitro (IC 50 = 1.5 μ M). Antiviral agent.
Tenofovir Usage And Synthesis:
1. Antiviral drugs, Tenofovir is an acyclic nucleoside antiviral reverse transcriptase inhibitor. The active substance is Tenofovir disoproxil, while tenofovir is a prodrug that is used because of its better absorption in the gut.
2. Tenofovir can inhibit viral polymerase through direct competitively combine with natural deoxyribose or by insertion to terminate chain of human DNA. It is the first nucleotide analogs to treat HIV-1 infection that approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
3. Tenofovir is a main medicine in AIDS cocktail therapy, researches has shown that it can effectively improve the monkeys` ability on prevention of immunodeficiency virus (similar to the human AIDS virus).
