An Experimental Study on the Effect of Tenofovir Amibufenamide on Blood Lipid During Anti-HBV Treatment

An Experimental Study on the Effect of Tenofovir Amibufenamide on Blood Lipid During Anti-HBV Treatment

In June 2021, Chinese Food and Drug Administration approved the launch of the self-developed new drug Tenofovir Amibufenamide(TMF). TMF is a new second generation of tenofovir(TFV) and its effect on blood lipids is unclear. Our study aims to figure out the effect of TMF on serum lipid level in the process of antiviral therapy for chronic hepatitis B patients.

In June 2021, Chinese Food and Drug Administration approved the launch of the self-developed new drug Tenofovir Amibufenamide(TMF). TMF is the phosphoramidite precursor of Tenofovir, belonging to the nucleoside reverse transcriptase and owning higher cell membrane penetration rate, which make it easier to enter hepatocytes and achieve liver-targeted therapy. Meanwhile, TMF can effectively improve drug stability in plasma and reduce systemic tenofovir(TFV) exposure, and make long-term treatment safer.

Previous studies have shown that tenofovir disoproxil (TDF), the first generation of TFV, had the effect of lowering blood lipids. While patients who switched to tenofovir alafenamide (TAF), the second generation of TFV, had elevated blood lipids. TMF is a new second generation of TFV and its effect on blood lipids is unclear. Our study aims to figure out the effect of TMF on serum lipid level in the process of antiviral therapy for chronic hepatitis B patients.
