Elvucitabine (ACH-126443 or beta-L-Fd4C) is a reverse transcriptase inhibitor exerting antiviral properties. Elvucitabine, an L-cytosine nucleoside analog, is intracellularly phosphorylated to its active 5′-triphosphate metabolite, which has an intracellular half-life of at least 20 hours. Elvucitabine triphosphate inhibits the activity of HIV reverse transcriptase by competing with natural substrates and by causing DNA chain termination after incorporation into viral DNA. Elvucitabine has also demonstrated in vitro and in vivo activity against HBV. Achillion, under license from Vion is developing elvucitabine for the potential treatment of HIV and hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.
