Emtricitabine ((-)-FTC) is an orally active, non-cytotoxic (>100 μM/PBM, CEM, Vero, MT-4), potent nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) against HIV type 1/2 (HIV-1 IC50/culture = 8 nM/PBM (LAV-1), 9 nM/CEM (LAV-1); HIV-2 IC50/culture = 0.7 nM/PBM (ROD2), 100 nM/CEM (Zy)), hepatitis B, as well as simian and feline immunodeficiency viruses. Emtricitabine is activated via 2′-deoxycytidine kinase-mediated phosphorylation to (-)-FTC-5′-triphosphate that inhibits viral reverse transcriptase in a dCTP-competitive manner (HIV-1 Ki = 2.9 μM).

The pharmacokinetics and metabolism of the potent anti-human immunodeficiency virus and anti-hepatitis B virus compound, (-)-cis-5-fluoro-1-[2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-oxathiolan-5-yl] cytosine (FTC), were investigated in male CD rats. Plasma clearance of 10 mg of FTC per kg of body weight was biexponential in rats

Macaque models of simian or simian/human immunodeficiency virus (SIV or SHIV) infection are critical for the evaluation of antiretroviral (ARV)-based HIV treatment and prevention strategies. However, modelling human oral ARV administration is logistically challenging and fraught by limited adherence. Here
