4′-Ethynyl-2-fluoro-2′-deoxyadenosine (EFdA) is a nucleoside analog that has been shown to potently inhibit HIV replication.[1]

Biological activity

EFdA has activity against HIV in animal models,[2] and is being studied clinically for HIV treatment and prophylaxis.[3] EFdA is a nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor that unlike other such inhibitors, inhibits HIV through multiple mechanisms.[2] providing rapid suppression of the virus, when tested in macaques and mice.[4] Nevertheless, there are HIV strains resistant to EFdA and research is ongoing.[5]
