Description
Nevirapine-d
4 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of nevirapine by GC- or LC-MS. Nevirapine is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI). It binds to HIV-1 reverse transcriptase and inhibits RNA plus-strand initiation (IC
50 = 0.45 μM). Nevirapine prevents seroconversion and viremia in a chimpanzee model of HIV-1 infection. Formulations containing nevirapine have been used in combination therapy for the treatment of HIV-1 infection.
Uses
Nevirapine-d4 (cyclopropyl-2,2,3,3-d4) (CAS# 1051418-95-1) is a useful isotopically labeled research compound. This can be prepared to use as non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors.
