Product Information

• Name: 2',3'-Dideoxy-5-fluoro-3'-thiacytidine
• Synonyms: Coviracil Emtricitabinecis-FTC4-Amino-5-fluoro-1-[(2R,5S)-2-hydroxymethyl)-1,3-oxathiolan-5-yl]-2-(1H-pyrimidinone
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Emtricitabine is a nucleoside analog that is an antiviral drug used to treat HIV/AIDS. It is a synthetic nucleoside analog of cytidine, in which the 3' phosphate and 5' hydroxyl groups have been replaced with a fluorine atom and a methoxy group, respectively. Emtricitabine has been shown to inhibit the synthesis of viral DNA by competing for incorporation into the viral DNA strand during the elongation phase of viral replication. Emtricitabine also has anticancer activity, but no other known therapeutic uses.
