Product Description
REMIVIR IS A PREPARATION OF REMDESIVIR. IT IS AN ADENOSINE NUCLEOTIDE PRODRUG THAT DISTRIBUTES INTO CELLS WHERE IT IS METABOLIZED TO FORM THE PHARMACOLOGICALLY ACTIVE NUCLEOSIDE TRIPHOSPHATE METABOLITE. METABOLISM OF REMDESIVIR TO REMDESIVIR TRIPHOSPHATE HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED IN MULTIPLE CELL TYPES. REMDESIVIR TRIPHOSPHATE ACTS AS AN ANALOG OF ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE (ATP)AND COMPETES WITH THE NATURAL ATP SUBSTRATE FOR INCORPORATION INTO NASCENT RNA CHAINS BY THE SARS-COV-2 RNA-DEPENDENT RNA POLYMERASE, WHICH RESULTS IN DELAYED CHAIN TERMINATION DURING REPLICATION OF THE VIRAL RNA. REMDESIVIR TRIPHOSPHATE IS A WEAK INHIBITOR OF MAMMALIAN DNA AND RNA POLYMERASES WITH LOW POTENTIAL FOR MITOCHONDRIAL TOXICITY. AUTHORIZED USE
