Torcitabine is the beta-L-enantiomer of the natural nucleoside D-cytidine. The drug was under development as an antiviral agent for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus infection. Torcitabine has poor oral bioavailability, but its 3’,5’-derivative ester (val-L-dC) and the 3’-monovaline ester, valtorcitabine dihydrochloride, have excellent oral bioavailability and consequently the torcitabine prodrug, valtorcitabine, has replaced torcitabine in clinical development. Torcitabine is active against hepadnaviruses, specifically human hepatitis B virus (HBV), duck hepatitis virus (DHBV) and woodchuck hepatitis virus (WHV). Torcitabine triphosphate is a selective inhibitor of the polymerase enzyme of HBV.
