Indication:

Tenvir (Tenofovir ) is used with other HIV medications to help control HIV infection. It helps to decrease the amount of HIV in your body so your immune system can work better. This lowers your chance of getting HIV complications (such as new infections, cancer) and improves your quality of life.

Mechanism of action:

Tenvir (Tenofovir ) is a defective adenosine nucleotide that selectively inhibits the action of reverse transcriptase, while only weakly interfering with mammalian DNA polymerases , , and mitochondrial DNA polymerase . Tenvir (Tenofovir ) prevents the formation of the 5 to 3 phosphodiester linkage essential for DNA chain elongation. A phosphodiester bond cannot be formed because the Tenvir (Tenofovir ) molecule lacks an OH group on the 3 carbon of its deoxyribose sugar. Once incorporated into a growing DNA strand, Tenvir (Tenofovir ) causes premature termination of DNA transcription. The drug is classified as a nucleotide analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NtRTI). Reverse transcriptase is a crucial viral enzyme in retroviruses such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and in hepatitis B virus infections.
