Carbovir is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor analog of guanosine. Carbovir decreases HIV viral loads, retards or prevents the damage to the immune system, and reduces the risk of developing AIDS. Carbovir Triphosphate belongs to the class of organic compounds known as nucleoside and nucleotide analogues. These are analogues of nucleosides and nucleotides. Carbovir interferes with the enzyme HIV uses to manufacture new viral particles within an infected cell, and is primarily metabolized to the 5'-triphosphate of Carbovir (CBV-TP) to concentrations sufficient to inhibit HIV reverse transcriptase.
