Baraclude is a Hepatitis B virus nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor, which is indicated for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus infection in adults and children, provided at least 2 years of age with evidence of active viral replication and either evidence of persistent elevations in serum aminotransferases (ALT or AST) or histologically active disease. It is not known that Baraclude is safe for children below 2 years of age. Baraclude will not cure HPV. It may decrease the ability of HPV to multiply.

Description

Entecavir is phosphorylated to the active triphosphate form (ETV-TP) by cellular nucleoside kinases. This was shown in different cell systems including infected hepatoma cell lines but the extent of phosphorylation of entecavir was dependent on cell type.

The triphosphate competes with the natural substrate, deoxyguanosine triphosphate (dGTP), of human HBV polymerase. In vitro studies on the mechanism of action indicated that the three enzymatic activities of the viral polymerase were inhibited 1) priming activity, 2) reverse transcriptase activity resulting in first-strand DNA synthesis, and 3)

DNA-dependent DNA polymerase activity resulting in second-strand DNA synthesis.
