Application

Adefovir has been used to study its anti-retro viral effect on porcine endogenous retrovirus (PERV) activity.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Adefovir is an antiviral and is the active form of adefovir dipivoxyl
Adefovir is an antiviral drug that after intracellular conversion to adefovir diphosphate inhibits hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA polymerase (reverse transcriptase).
Adefovir, also known as 9-(2-phosphonylmethoxyethyl)adenine (PMEA), is an acyclic nucleoside phosphonate. It has a potential to hinder the in vitro replication of several retroviruses such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 and HIV-2, simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), simian AIDS-related virus (SRV), feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). Thus, Adefovir may be used as a therapeutic for various retrovirus infections including acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).

In the presence of highly-potent antivirals, persistence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) is most well-characterized by covalently-closed circular DNA (cccDNA) and total intrahepatic DNA (IH-DNA). We sought to determine how antiviral therapy could affect their levels during human immunodeficiency virus

Adefovir is an antiviral drug that exhibits high hydrophilic properties and negligible bioavailability (less than 12%). It is only applied in the form of the ester prodrug adefovir dipivoxil (ADV). The oral bioavailability of ADV is limited (32% to 45%)

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is often accompanied by infection with other pathogens, in particular herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2). The resulting coinfection is involved in a vicious circle of mutual facilitations. Therefore, an important task is to develop

A randomized controlled trial was conducted to find out whether antiviral therapy in patients with hepatitis B-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) improves long-term survival after hepatic resection. Despite advances in surgery and in multidisciplinary treatment, there is still no effective adjuvant
