Drug

D0039 | Didanosine

Molecular Formula C10H12N4O3
Molecular Weight 236.23
Structure
State solid
Route of elimination Based on data from in vitro and animal studies, it is presumed that the metabolism of didanosine in man occurs by the same pathways responsible for the elimination of endogenous purines. Purines are eliminated by the kidneys.
Protein binding Low (<5%)
Half life 30 minutes in plasma and more than 12 hours in intracellular environment.
Absorption Rapidly absorbed (bioavailability 30-40%) with peak plasma concentrations appearing within 0.5 and 1.5 hrs.
Trade names Videx
Description dideoxynucleoside; nucleoside analogue of adenosine; inhibitor of HIV replication; reverse-transcriptase inhibitor
