Hepsera (Adefovir) is a prodrug of adefovir. Hepsera (Adefovir) is an acyclic nucleotide analog of adenosine monophosphate which is phosphorylated to the active metabolite Adefovir diphosphate by cellular kinases. Hepsera (Adefovir)diphosphate inhibits HBV DNA polymerase (reverse transcriptase) by competing with the natural substrate deoxyadenosine triphosphate and by causing DNA chain termination after its incorporation into viral DNA. The inhibition constant (Ki) for Hepsera (Adefovir)diphosphate for HBV DNA polymerase was 0.1 M. Hepsera (Adefovir)diphosphate is a weak inhibitor of human DNA polymerases and with Ki values of 1.18 M and 0.97M, respectively.
