Description

5-(Aminomethyl)benzo[b]furan is a drug that has been shown to inhibit the histamine h3 receptor and transcriptase. It has been used in the treatment of allergic reactions, such as those caused by histamine release. The drug is classified as a non-nucleoside inhibitor of reverse transcriptase. 5-(Aminomethyl)benzo[b]furan has also been shown to be effective against viral strains that are resistant to nucleoside analogues, such as HIV-1, HIV-2, and influenza A. 5-(Aminomethyl)benzo[b]furan binds to the active site of reverse transcriptase and inhibits the synthesis of viral RNA from single-stranded DNA. This binding prevents the formation of a double-stranded DNA with complementary RNA template necessary for viral replication.
