Abstract excerpt
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and islatravir (ISL, 4'-ethynyl-2-fluoro-2'-deoxyadensine, or MK-8591) are highly potent nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. Resistance to TDF and ISL is conferred by K65R and M184V, respectively. Furthermore, K65R and M184V increase sensitivity to ISL and TDF, respectively. Therefore, these two nucleoside analogs have opposing resistance profiles and could present a...
