Tenofovir alafenamide fumarate, the salt used in drug formulations

Tenofovir alafenamide, sold under the brand name Vemlidy, is an antiviral medication used against hepatitis B and HIV. It is used for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in adults with compensated liver disease [8] and is given in combination with other medications for the prevention and treatment of HIV. It is taken by mouth. [6]

Contents

Tenofovir alafenamide is a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor and is a prodrug of tenofovir. It was developed by Gilead Sciences based on the protide technology of Chris McGuigan and is applied in the form of tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF). Closely related to the commonly used reverse-transcriptase inhibitor tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), TAF has greater antiviral activity and better distribution into lymphoid tissues than that agent. [9] [10] It was approved for use in the US for HIV in 2015 [11] and for hepatitis B in 2016. [12] Although the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved tenofovir alafenamide for manufacture as a generic medication, [13] it is not available. [14]

Fixed-dose combinations containing tenofovir alafenamide

Research

Gilead announced a Phase III clinical trial evaluating a single-tablet regimen combining tenofovir alafenamide with cobicistat, emtricitabine and elvitegravir [44] and developed a coformulation of the drug with cobicistat, emtricitabine and the protease inhibitor darunavir. [45] [46] [47] In a 48-week study comparing elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil (Stribild) to elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (Genvoya), the results showed the newer drug's effects to be non-inferior to the established agent, but at much lower dosages and with lower incidence of adverse side effects such as impaired kidney function. [48] [49] [50] The FDA approved the TAF-based treatment regimen for treatment of HIV-1 in November 2015. [11] Genvoya is the first TAF-based regimen to receive approval. [11]

Integrase inhibitors (INIs) are a class of antiretroviral drug designed to block the action of integrase, a viral enzyme that inserts the viral genome into the DNA of the host cell. Since integration is a vital step in retroviral replication, blocking it can halt further spread of the virus. Integrase inhibitors were initially developed for the treatment of HIV infection, but have been applied to other retroviruses. The class of integrase inhibitors called integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) are in established medical use. Other classes, such as allosteric integrase inhibitors (ALLINIs) or integrase binding inhibitors (INBIs), are still experimental.
