delavirdine mesylate

CHEBI:4379 ·resolve ·ANTIVIRAL ·EXACT SEEDED

The monomethanesulfonic acid salt of delavirdine, a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor with activity specific for HIV-1. Viral resistance emerges rapidly when delavirdine is used alone, so it is therefore used (as the methanesulfonic acid salt) with other antiretrovirals for combination therapy of HIV infection. — ChEBI
