Biochem/physiol Actions

Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (tenofovir DF) is a nucleotide analogue with activity against retroviruses, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1, HIV-2 and hepadnaviruses.
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is a prodrug of tenofovir, a nucleotide analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitor (nRTI) that causes premature termination of DNA transcription. In a T cell line and primary blood lymphocytes, the antiviral activity of tenofovir disoproxil was shown to be more than 100-fold greater than tenofovir because of its rapid intracellular uptake. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate has been used alone and in various combinations for the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS and chronic hepatitis B infections and is on the World Health Organization′s List of Essential Medicines.
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is a prodrug of tenofovir, a nucleotide analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitor (nRTI); anti-retroviral.

Bis(isopropyloxymethylcarbonyl) 9-R-(2-phosphonomethoxypropyl)adenine [bis(POC)PMPA] has been identified as a novel prodrug of PMPA. The anti-human immunodeficiency virus activity of bis(POC)PMPA was >100-fold greater than that of PMPA in both an established T-cell line and primary peripheral blood lymphocytes. This improved efficacy

The objective was to determine whether maraviroc (MVC) has unique neurocognitive benefits in the context of initial antiretroviral therapy (ART). Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 48-week trial. Participants were enrolled in US AIDS Clinical Trials Group clinical trial sites. Total 262 ART-naive

Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and emtricitabine (FTC) are nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors approved as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Prophylactic TDF-based regimens have been shown to reduce the risk of HIV infection by 74 to 92% among
Elisa De Crignis et al.
eLife, 10 (2021-07-31)
The molecular events that drive hepatitis B virus (HBV)-mediated transformation and tumorigenesis have remained largely unclear, due to the absence of a relevant primary model system. Here we propose the use of human liver organoids as a platform for modeling
