Abstract excerpt
Islatravir (EFdA) is a novel nucleoside reverse transcriptase translocation inhibitor (NRTTI) that potently blocks HIV-1 replication in vivo. Its unique structural features in contrast to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), particularly the 4'-ethynyl and 3'-hydroxy groups, contribute to its high clinical potency. Once intracellularly activated to EFdA 5'-triphosphate (EFdA-TP), it competes with...
