EFdA-TP, a highly potent nucleoside reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitor, exerts its inhibitory effect on RT-catalyzed DNA synthesis through both immediate and delayed chain termination mechanisms, commonly referred to as ICT and DCT, respectively. Additionally, EFdA-TP demonstrates its efficacy in inhibiting HIV-1 RT through multiple pathways.
EFdA-TP tetraammonium is an influential nucleoside reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitor that effectively prevents RT-mediated DNA synthesis by acting as an immediate or delayed chain terminator (ICT or DCT). Additionally, EFdA-TP tetraammonium exhibits multiple mechanisms of inhibiting HIV-1 RT[1].
