Tenofovir alafenamide is a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor and is a prodrug of tenofovir. It was developed by Gilead Sciences based on the protide technology of Chris McGuigan and is applied in the form of tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF). Closely related to the commonly used reverse-transcriptase inhibitor tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), TAF has greater antiviral activity and better distribution into lymphoid tissues than that agent. It was approved for use in the US against HIV in 2015 and against hepatitis B in 2016. It is available as a generic medication.
