CAS 154598-52-4: Efavirenz
Description:Efavirenz is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) primarily used in the treatment of HIV infection. It is characterized by its ability to inhibit the reverse transcriptase enzyme, which is crucial for the replication of the HIV virus. Chemically, efavirenz is a lipophilic compound, which contributes to its pharmacokinetic properties, including a long half-life and the ability to penetrate the central nervous system. The substance is typically administered orally and is often part of combination therapy to enhance efficacy and reduce the risk of resistance. Efavirenz is known for its side effects, which can include neuropsychiatric symptoms, rash, and potential effects on liver function. Its mechanism of action involves binding to the reverse transcriptase enzyme, leading to disruption of viral RNA conversion to DNA. The compound is classified under the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, highlighting its importance in global health. As with any medication, monitoring for adverse effects and drug interactions is essential during treatment.
