Biological Activity
tenofovir maleate is an inhibitor of reverse transcriptase used for the treatment of the human immunodeficiency virus 1(hiv-1) and hepatitis b [1].tenofovir maleate is an antiviral pro-drug and the class of nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor. in addition, tenofovir maleate has been reported to have a dependent relation between intracellular the drug concentrations and prevent function of hiv-1infection with ec50 values of 29 fmol/106, 40 fmol/106 , 77 fmol/106 and 411 fmol/106 cells for inoculum size 1, 5, 20 and 100 respectively. and the ec50 values of tenofovir maleate are 267 fmol/106, 348 fmol/106, 640 fmol/106 and 2866 fmol/106 cells for virus inoculums size 1, 5, 20 and 100, respectively [1].
