Description
trans-Abacavir Dihydrochloride is an impurity of Abacavir. Abacavir is a carbocyclic 2?-deoxyguanosine nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor and an anti-HIV drug used to treat HIV infection 1 . Intracellular enzymes convert Abacavir to its active form, carbovir-triphosphate CBV-TP , which then selectively inhibits HIV reverse transcriptase by incorporating into viral DNA 2 . Abacavir is metabolized in the liver by uridine diphosphate glucuronyltransferase and alcohol dehydrogenase resulting in inactive glucuronide and carboxylate metabolites, respectively.
