Tenofovir
CAS 147127-20-6
Tenofovir is both an antiviral story and a drug-delivery story: the group needed for biochemical activity is also the group that makes oral delivery difficult.
Tenofovir (CAS 147127-20-6) is a nucleotide analogue whose active diphosphate inhibits viral polymerases. Its story also shows why prodrug chemistry matters: the charged phosphonate needed for activity creates a delivery challenge.
