Active Ingredient

Fostemsavir is a prodrug without significant antiviral activity that is hydrolysed to the active moiety, temsavir, upon cleavage of a phosphonooxymethyl group in vivo. Temsavir binds directly to the gp120 subunit within the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein gp160 and selectively inhibits the interaction between the virus and cellular CD4 receptor, thereby preventing viral entry into, and infection of, host cells.
