See also [1]. Tenofovir disoproxil is a prodrug that is quickly absorbed from the gut and cleaved to release tenofovir. Inside cells, tenofovir is phosphorylated to tenofovir diphosphate (which is analogous to a triphosphate, as tenofovir itself already has one phosphonate residue), the active compound that inhibits reverse transcriptase via chain termination. Tenofovir diphosphate (TNV) binding site at reverse transcriptase (3fkb). Water molecules are shown as red spheres. Tenofovir-monophosphate (TNM) binding site at reverse transcriptase (3fkb).
