About Abacavir.

Abacavir is not an independent therapeutic drug class; rather, it is a specific antiretroviral active ingredient that belongs to the nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor class.

Intracellularly converted to its active metabolite carbovir triphosphate, it inhibits human immunodeficiency virus reverse transcriptase by competing with natural dGTP substrates and causing viral DNA chain termination.

Clinically, it is indicated in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the management and treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection.
