Description

Efavirenz, lamivudine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is a fixed-dose combination tablet for oral administration. Each film coated tablet contains efavirenz USP 400 mg, lamivudine USP 300 mg and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300 mg equivalent to tenofovir disoproxil 245 mg. Each tablet contains the following inactive ingredients: croscarmellose sodium, ferric oxide yellow, hydroxypropyl cellulose, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, sodium lauryl sulfate, talc and titanium dioxide. Efavirenz: Efavirenz (EFV) is an HIV-1 specific, non-nucleoside, reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI). Efavirenz is chemically described as ( S )-6-Chloro-4-(cyclopropylethynyl)-1,4-dihydro-4-(trifluoromethyl)-2 H -3,1-benzoxazin-2-one. Its molecular formula is C 14 H 9 ClF 3 NO 2 and its structural formula is: Efavirenz USP is a white to off white powder with a molecular mass of 315.67. It is soluble in methanol and practically insoluble in water (< 10 microgram/mL). Lamivudine: Lamivudine (also known as 3TC) is a synthetic nucleoside analogue with activity against HIV-1 and HBV.The chemical name of lamivudine is (-)-1-[(2 R,5 S )-2-(Hydroxy methyl)-1,3-oxathiolan-5-yl]cytosine. Lamivudine is the (-)enantiomer of a dideoxy analogue of cytidine. Lamivudine has also been referred to as (-)2′,3′-dideoxy, 3′-thiacytidine. It has a molecular formula of C 8 H 11 N 3 O 3 S and a molecular weight of 229.26 g per mol. It has the following structural formula: Lamivudine USP is a white or almost white powder and is soluble in water. Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate: Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) (a prodrug of tenofovir) is a fumaric acid salt of bis-isopropoxycarbonyloxymethyl ester derivative of tenofovir. TDF is converted in vivo to tenofovir, an acyclic nucleoside phosphonate (nucleotide) analog of adenosine 5' -monophosphate. Tenofovir exhibits activity against HIV-1 reverse transcriptase. The chemical name of tenofovir disoproxil fumarateis 9-[( R )-2- [[bis[[(isopropoxycarbonyl)oxy]methoxy]phosphinyl]methoxy]propyl]adenine fumarate (1:1). It has a molecular formula of C 19 H 30 N 5 O 10 P

C 4 H 4 O 4 and a molecular weight of 635.52. It has the following structural formula: Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is a white to off white powder freely soluble in dimethyl formamide, soluble in methanol and slightly soluble in water at 25°C. It has a partition coefficient (log p) of 0.75. efavirenz-structure lamivudine-structure tenofovir-structure
