| Bioactivity | 2'-Deoxy-L-adenosine is an orally active synthon for modified oligodeoxyribonucleotides. 2'-Deoxy-L-adenosine is a potent, specific and selective inhibitor of the replication of hepatitis B virus (HBV) as well as the closely related duck and woodchuck hepatitis viruses (WHV)[1]. |
| Invitro | 2'-Deoxy-L-adenosine shows anti-hepadnavirus activity, withour affecting the replication of 15 other RNA and DNA viruses, neither nor inhibiting human DNA polymerases (α, β, and γ) or compromise mitochondrial function[1]. |
| In Vivo | 2'-Deoxy-L-adenosine (p.o.; once daily) reduces viral load by as much as 108 genome equivalent/mL serum without drug-related toxicity in woodchuck efficacy model of chronic HBV infection[1]. |
