Ethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate has been shown to inhibit the replication of HIV-1 virus at concentrations as low as 1 μM when tested in vitro. The mechanism of this drug's anti-HIV activity is not currently known and may involve inhibition of reverse transcriptase or proteases. Ethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate can be detected in vivo up to 4 hours after administration. This drug is metabolized into trifluoroacetic acid by esterases, glycosidases, and/or oxidases.
