Mechanism of action

  • Protein PINHIBITOR

    P inhibitor

    Clevudine is phosphorylated inside the cell to its active form, clevudine triphosphate (clevudine-TP). Clevudine-TP binds to the viral polymerase active site (or a site very close to it) inhibiting the protein priming and viral DNA synthesis. It is suggested that its binding to the viral polymerase active site alters its structure such that the viral polymerase is unable to bind or incorporate any of the natural dNMP substrates.
