4. Uses of Apricitabine

Apricitabine is an experimental nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) against HIV. When comes to the drug Apricitabine, 1200 mg apricitabine per day reduced the viral load by up to 1.65 logs (45 fold) in a small, 10-day randomized controlled trial. It is structurally related to lamivudine and emtricitabine.
