Abbreviated name: TDF
Synonyms: (R)-PMPA | PMPA | tenofovir (anhydrous)
tenofovir is an approved drug
Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: Tenofovir is a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NtRTI) antiretroviral compound. The R-enantiomer, as shown here, is more effective at inhibiting retroviruses than the S-enantiomer [1]. Tenofovir has poor oral bioavailability and is delivered as either the prodrug tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (Viread®) or tenofovir alafenamide fumerate (Vemlidy®).
