Adefovirdipivoxil er et peroralt prodrug af adefovir, en acyklisk nucleotidphosphonatanalog af adenosinmonophosphat, som aktivt transporteres ind i mammaliaceller, hvor det af værtsenzymer omdannes til adefovirdiphosphat.
Adefovir dipivoxil is an oral prodrug of adefovir, an acyclic nucleotide phosphonate analogue of adenosine monophosphate, which is actively transported into mammalian cells where it is converted by host enzymes to adefovir diphosphate.
