| Active Ingredient | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Didanosine |
Didanosine belongs to a class of medicines called nucleoside analogues or nucleoside reversetranscriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). Intracellularly, didanosine is converted by cellular enzymes to the active metabolite, dideoxyadenosine 5'-triphosphate. Dideoxyadenosine 5'-triphosphate inhibits the activity of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase both by competing with the natural substrate, deoxyadenosine 5'-triphosphate, and by its incorporation into viral DNA causing termination of viral DNA chain elongation. |
