    Tenofovir Alafenamide

    €160,56 - €217,29
    Tenofovir alafenamide is an antiretroviral developed by Gilead and the anti-HIV  activity was reported  in 1993.  It is an investigational precursor to Tenovor, a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor.  Tenofovir alafenamide is more efficient at delivering Tenofovir to target cells.
    Mechanism of ActionTenofovir alafenamide is a nucleotide analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor that terminates DNA transcription.
    Eukaryotic Cell Culture ApplicationsTenofovir alafenamide is 1000- and 10-fold more active against HIV in vitro than Tenofovir or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, respectively, and the compound is stable in biological matrices (Ray et al, 2016). It reduces HIV-1 viral replication in MT-2 cells with an EC50 value of 5 nM (Ray et al, 2016). During in vitro studies with activated or resting peripheral blood mononuclear cells, MT2 and Jerkat T-cell lines, authors found that Tenofovir alafenamide did not inhibit mitochondrial DNA synthesis (Stray et al, 2017).
