| - | Sofosbuvir is a prodrug of the Protide type, whereby the active phosphorylated nucleotide is granted cell permeability and oral bioavailability. It is metabolized to the active antiviral agent <scene name='95/954110/Cv/2'>GS-461203</scene> (2'-deoxy-2'-α-fluoro-β-C-methyluridine-5'-triphosphate). GS-461203 serves as a defective substrate for the [[NS5B]] protein, which is the viral [[RNA polymerase]], thus acts as an inhibitor of viral RNA synthesis. | + | [[Sofosbuvir]] is a prodrug of the Protide type, whereby the active phosphorylated nucleotide is granted cell permeability and oral bioavailability.
