• Description: trans-Abacavir dihydrochloride is a synthetic compound classified as a nucleoside analog. It is derived from chemical synthesis and serves as a prodrug that is metabolized in the body to its active form, carbovir triphosphate. Its primary mode of action involves the inhibition of the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase enzyme. This inhibition is achieved through the incorporation of the active metabolite into viral DNA, resulting in chain termination and preventing viral replication.
