Abstract
During the past decade, nucleotide analogs have emerged as novel antiviral agents against hepatitis B virus. Adefovir dipivoxil, a prototype phosphonate analog, has been approved for chronic hepatitis B virus therapy, and additional phosphonate analogs and di- and tri-nucleotides are under development. Several innovative prodrug derivatizations have also been reported to improve the oral bioavailability of nucleotide analogs, which usually carry a negative charge.Entities:
