CAS 69655-05-6: Didanosine
Description:Didanosine, also known as ddI, is an antiretroviral medication primarily used in the treatment of HIV/AIDS. It belongs to the class of nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and functions by inhibiting the reverse transcriptase enzyme, which is crucial for viral replication. Didanosine is a purine nucleoside analog, specifically an adenosine derivative, and is characterized by its ability to interfere with the viral life cycle. The substance is typically administered in its oral form, often as enteric-coated capsules or tablets, to enhance absorption and reduce gastrointestinal side effects. Didanosine is known for its potential side effects, including pancreatitis, peripheral neuropathy, and lactic acidosis, necessitating careful monitoring during treatment. It is important to note that didanosine is less commonly used today due to the availability of more effective and better-tolerated antiretroviral therapies. Its chemical structure includes a hydroxyl group and a modified sugar moiety, which contribute to its mechanism of action and pharmacological properties.
