Biological Activity
Tenofovir is an acyclic nucleotide analogue and reverse transcriptase inhibitor that targets viral replication. Upon intracellular phosphorylation to its active diphosphate metabolite, tenofovir competitively inhibits viral reverse transcriptase and hepatitis B virus DNA polymerase, acting as an obligate chain terminator. This inhibition terminates viral DNA synthesis, thereby suppressing viral replication and reducing viral load.

Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
- Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
- Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
- For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
- Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
Pre-aliquoted for Longevity: Solid-state aliquots offer longer shelf life compared to stock solutions.
