NCIt definition : A synthetic fluoro derivative of thiacytidine with potent antiviral activity. Emtricitabine
is phosphorylated to form emtricitabine 5'-triphosphate within the cell. This metabolite
inhibits the activity of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) reverse transcriptase
both by competing with the natural substrate deoxycytidine 5'-triphosphate and by
incorporation into viral DNA causing a termination of DNA chain elongation (due to
the lack of the essential 3'-OH group).;
