Biochem/physiol Actions

Adefovir is an antiviral acyclic nucleoside phosphonate (ANP) analog that works by blocking reverse transcriptase. It is an inhibitor of duck hepatitis B virus (DHBV) replication that inhibits covalently closed circular DNA (CCC DNA) amplification. Cytotxicity is induced by Human Renal Organic Anion Transporter 1 (hOAT1). Adefovir is an Inhibitor of edema factor (EF)-induced cAMP accumulation and changes in cytokine production in mouse primary macrophages .

Adefovir dipivoxil, a nucleotide analog of adenosine monophosphate, is an antiviral agent that suppresses hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication through inhibition of DNA polymerase and by chain termination. To determine the effectiveness of adefovir, three populations of patients with chronic

A pressing need exists for improved therapeutic options for chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Pegylated-interferon-alpha (Peg-IFN-α) achieves sustained off-treatment responses in many cases because of its direct anti-viral effects and regulation of the immune response. However, non-responsiveness to Peg-IFN-α is frequent

Probe substrates for, and inhibitors of, specific transporters are desired to evaluate quantitatively the in vivo functions of transporters in humans. Based on published data, adefovir and benzylpenicillin were selected as organic anion transporter (OAT) 1- and OAT3-selective probe substrates
