Overview of Entecavir Anhydrous
It is a powerful antiviral agent. Anhydrous is a powerful antiviral guanosine nucleoside analogue employed to treat persistent hepatitis B virus (HBV) disease. It is renowned for its effectiveness against viruses, and its lower resistance profiles. Entecavir Anhydrous is frequently utilised in hepatology for the long-term care of persistent HBV infection, in treatment-naive patients and those who are resistant to lamivudine.
The API manifests as an off-white to white crystalline powder that is extremely stable in storage under controlled conditions. Its mechanism--selective inhibition of HBV polymerase (reverse transcriptase)--blocks viral DNA synthesis and replication, effectively suppressing HBV viral load and improving liver function.
Related products include Tenofovir, Lamivudine, Adefovir, and other nucleoside/nucleotide analogue antivirals used in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B and HIV.
