Islatravir (4′-ethynyl-2-fluoro-2′-deoxyadenosine, EFdA, or MK-8591) is an investigational drug for the treatment of HIV infection.[1] It is classified as a nucleoside reverse transcriptase translocation inhibitor (NRTTI).[2] Merck is developing a subdermal drug-eluting implant to administer islatravir.[3][4]

Biological activity

Islatravir has activity against HIV in animal models,[5] and is being studied clinically for HIV treatment and prophylaxis.[6] Islatravir is a nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase translocation inhibitor that unlike other such inhibitors, inhibits HIV through multiple mechanisms,[5] providing rapid suppression of the virus, when tested in macaques and mice.[7] Nevertheless, there are HIV strains resistant to islatravir and research is ongoing.[8]

gollark: Of course, if it's invisible, we can't tell what color it is.

gollark: If I get an invisible tinsel I guess I'll be happy, but I much prefer shimmerscales.

gollark: I'm hoping for an invisible silver myself.

gollark: 12 hours to go until we don't win prizes!

gollark: NEGADRAGON!
