Apricitabine (ATC) is an investigational drug that was being studied for the treatment of HIV infection. Apricitabine belongs to a class (group) of HIV drugs called nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). NRTIs block an HIV reverse transcriptase. By blocking reverse transcriptase, NRTIs prevent HIV from multiplying and can reduce the amount of HIV in the body. In vitro studies have shown that apricitabine appears to work on certain HIV strains against which other FDA-approved NRTIs, such as lamivudine (brand name: Epivir), may no longer work. Apricitabine shows antiviral activity in vitro against HIV-1 strains and clinical isolates with mutations in the reverse transcriptase that confer resistance to other NRTIs, including M184V, thymidine analogue mutations (TAMs), nucleoside-associated mutations such as L74V and certain mutations at codon 69. Apricitabine has shown activity in treatment-experienced HIV-1-infected patients with NRTI resistance (with M184V and up to five TAMs) as well as in treatment-naive patients. The study of apricitabine as an HIV medicine was discontinued in 2016. The company developing the drug decided to stop their clinical trials due to a lack of funding and a lack of interest in apricitabine’s early access program.
