1 Aug 2006
Abstract excerpt
Clevudine (CLV) is a nucleoside analog of the unnatural L-configuration that has potent anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) activity in vitro and in vivo with a favorable toxicity profile in all species tested. In cell culture, CLV is readily phosphorylated to the corresponding 5'-triphosphate form of the compound. The mechanism of action of CLV involves the inhibition of the HBV polymerase by CLV 5'-triphosphate. In...
