Description

White SolidClevudine is a fluorinated b-L-nucleoside analog launched for the oral treatment of chronic HBV infection. It is the fifth nucleoside or nucleotide analog to be marketed for this indication. The previous drugs from this class include lamivudine, adefovir, entecavir, and telbivudine. In HBV-expressing human hepatoma cell line 2.2.15, clevudine inhibits HBV DNA synthesis with an EC50 of 0.1 μM, and does not show cytotoxicity up to 200 μM.


Clevudine is a pyrimidine 2'-deoxyribonucleoside.|Clevudine is a synthetic pyrimidine analogue with activity against hepatitis B virus (HBV). Intracellularly, clevudine is phosphorylated to its active metabolites, clevudine monophosphate and triphosphate. The triphosphate metabolite competes with thymidine for incorporation into viral DNA, thereby causing DNA chain termination and inhibiting the function of HBV DNA polymerase (reverse transcriptase). Clevudine has a long half-life and shows significant reduction of covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA), therefore the patient is less likely to have a relapse after treatment is discontinued.

Drug Information

Investigated for use/treatment in hepatitis (viral, B).

Agents used in the prophylaxis or therapy of VIRUS DISEASES. Some of the ways they may act include preventing viral replication by inhibiting viral DNA polymerase; binding to specific cell-surface receptors and inhibiting viral penetration or uncoating; inhibiting viral protein synthesis; or blocking late stages of virus assembly. (See all compounds classified as Antiviral Agents.)

1-(2-deoxy-2-fluoro-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl)-5-methyl-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione,

Clevudine Use and Manufacturing

Antiviral drug, used for the treatment of Hepatitis B.
