Abacavir hydrochloride is a competitive, orally active nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor. Abacavir hydrochloride can inhibits the replication of HIV. Abacavir hydrochloride shows anticancer activity in prostate cancer cell lines. Abacavir hydrochloride can trespass the blood-brain-barrier and suppresses telomerase activity[1][2][3].

ChEBI: Abacavir sulfate is an azaheterocycle sulfate salt that is the sulfate salt of the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitor abacavir. It is functionally related to an abacavir.
