Studies on the biotransformation of the clinically important non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor efavirenz have shown that oxidation and secondary conjugation are important components of the processing of this molecule in vivo. We have synthesized metabolites of efavirenz to confirm their structure and to evaluate their activity as antivirals. (C) 2001 DuPont Pharmaceuticals Company. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
