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 .
