CAS 142217-69-4: Entecavir
Description:Entecavir is an antiviral medication primarily used in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. It belongs to the class of nucleoside analogs and functions as a reverse transcriptase inhibitor, effectively blocking the replication of the virus. The chemical structure of Entecavir is characterized by its bicyclic guanosine analog framework, which allows it to mimic the natural nucleoside and interfere with viral DNA synthesis. It is typically administered orally and has a favorable pharmacokinetic profile, including a long half-life, which supports once-daily dosing. Entecavir is known for its high potency against HBV and has a low potential for developing resistance compared to other antiviral agents. Common side effects may include headache, fatigue, and gastrointestinal disturbances, but it is generally well-tolerated. Due to its mechanism of action, Entecavir is an essential option in the management of chronic hepatitis B, contributing to viral suppression and improved liver function in affected patients.
