Active ingredients

The drug VIREAD contains one active pharmaceutical ingredient (API):

1
UNII OTT9J7900I - TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL FUMARATE
 

Tenofovir disoproxil is absorbed and converted to the active substance tenofovir, which is a nucleoside monophosphate analogue. Tenofovir is then converted to the active metabolite, tenofovir diphosphate, an obligate chain terminator, by constitutively expressed cellular enzymes. Tenofovir diphosphate inhibits HIV-1 reverse transcriptase and the HBV polymerase by direct binding competition with the natural deoxyribonucleotide substrate and, after incorporation into DNA, by DNA chain termination.
