Specification
The chemical formula for Emtricitabine is C8H10FN3O3S.
Emtricitabine is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor that competes with the natural substrate deoxycytidine 5'-triphosphate and incorporates into nascent viral DNA, causing early chain termination.
Emtricitabine is used in combination with other antiviral drugs for treating adult HIV-1 infection and chronic hepatitis B.
Emtricitabine is administered orally.
The most common adverse reactions of Emtricitabine include headache, diarrhea, nausea, and rash.
Emtricitabine is metabolized through oxidation and glucuronidation.
Emtricitabine is mainly excreted through the kidneys via glomerular filtration and tubular secretion.
Patients with renal insufficiency should reduce the administered amount of Emtricitabine.
Emtricitabine is generally not recommended for pregnant and lactating women unless the benefits outweigh the risks.
Emtricitabine competitively inhibits the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase by competing with natural 5-phosphate cytosine for penetration into the viral DNA synthesis process, leading to the synthesis of a DNA strand break.
