Censavudine (Cat.No:I005933), also known as OBP-601, BMS-986001 or festinavir, is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor that is active against HIV resistant to both abacavir and tenofovir, making the drug a candidate for people with multi-drug resistant (MDR) strains of the virus. Censavudine is a derivative of stavudine (d4T), but is less toxic. Censavudine has demonstrated potent in vitro activity against HIV-2, including HIV-2 mutants containing the K65R and Q151M reverse transcriptase substitutions.
