efavirenz

Efavirenz (DMP 266) is a Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 Non-Nucleoside Analog Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor, acting as a Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor, Cytochrome P450 3A Inducer, Cytochrome P450 2B6 Inducer, Cytochrome P450 2C9 Inhibitor, Cytochrome P450 2C19 Inhibitor, and Cytochrome P450 3A4 Inhibitor, classified as a Non-Nucleoside Analog.

8-hydroxy Efavirenz is a major oxidative metabolite of the non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor efavirenz . 8-hydroxy Efavirenz is formed when efavirenz is metabolized by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoform CYP2B6. It induces apoptosis in rat primary hippocampal neurons and loss of dendritic spines in rat primary hippocampal neuronal cultures when used at a concentration of 0.01 μM.

Efavirenz, (R)- is an antiviral agent and a nonnucleoside HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitor.

Rac-Efavirenz is a non stereospecific structure of Efavirenz.

GSK 224876 is a novel next-generation nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI). It has activity against efavirenz-resistant strains in the treatment of treatment-naive HIV-1-infected subjects.
