Entecavir is a deoxyguanosine nucleoside analogue with antiviral activity against the hepatitis B virus (HBV). The compound has a mechanism of action by inhibiting priming and chain extension through inhibition of HBV DNA polymerase. Entecavir is also documented as the most potent HBV DNA polymerase inhibitor and superior to Lamivudine (sc-221830) due to its effectiveness against Lamivudine resistant HBV strains and being 30 fold more active.
