Adefovir is indicated for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B in patients 12 years of age and older with evidence of active viral replication and either evidence of persistent elevations in serum aminotransferases (ALT or AST) or histologically active disease. This indication is based on histological, virological, biochemical, and serological responses in adult patients with HBeAg+ and HBeAg- chronic hepatitis B with compensated liver function, and with clinical evidence of lamivudine-resistant hepatitis B virus with either compensated or decompensated liver function. /Included in US product label/

This study investigated the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) in children and adolescents with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). A total of 173 treatment-naive and treatment-experienced children with hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)+ CHB were randomized to ADV or placebo. Randomization was stratified by age (2 to <7 years; >7 to <12 years; >12 to <18 years) and prior treatment. Significantly more ADV-treated subjects aged 12 to <18 years achieved the primary efficacy endpoint (serum hepatitis B virus [HBV] DNA <1,000 copies/mL and normal alanine aminotransferase) compared to placebo-treated subjects (23% versus 0%; P = 0.007). In the younger groups, differences between ADV and placebo at the end of blinded treatment were not statistically significant. More ADV-treated subjects had HBeAg seroconversion: 18 of 113 (15.9%) versus three of 57 (5.3%) (but P = 0.051), and more met the combined endpoint of HBeAg seroconversion, HBV DNA <1,000 copies/mL and normal alanine aminotransferase (12/113 versus 0/57; P = 0.009). No subject developed an ADV-associated mutation that has been linked to HBV DNA rebound (that is, mutations rtN236T or rtA181V). ADV plasma concentrations were comparable across groups and within the target range. ADV treatment was well tolerated; no new safety issues were identified. Treatment-related adverse events were reported for 12% of ADV-treated and 10% of placebo-treated subjects. After 48 weeks of ADV treatment, antiviral efficacy in subjects ages 12 to <18 years with HBeAg+ CHB was similar to that observed in a study in adult treatment-naive subjects with HBeAg+ CHB. ADV was not different from placebo in subjects aged 2 to 11 years despite adequate plasma ADV exposure in all three age groups. CONCLUSION: ADV showed significant antiviral efficacy in subjects aged 12 to 17 years with HBeAg+ CHB, but was not different from placebo in subjects aged 2 to 11 years.

/BOXED WARNING/ Severe acute exacerbations of hepatitis have been reported in patients who have discontinued anti-Hepatitis B therapy including adefovir. Hepatic function should be monitored closely with both clinical and laboratory follow-up for at least several months in patients who discontinue anti-Hepatitis B therapy. If appropriate, resumption of anti-Hepatitis B therapy may be warranted.

Antiviral Agents
Agents used in the prophylaxis or therapy of VIRUS DISEASES. Some of the ways they may act include preventing viral replication by inhibiting viral DNA polymerase; binding to specific cell-surface receptors and inhibiting viral penetration or uncoating; inhibiting viral protein synthesis; or blocking late stages of virus assembly. (See all compounds classified as Antiviral Agents.)
Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors
Inhibitors of reverse transcriptase (RNA-DIRECTED DNA POLYMERASE), an enzyme that synthesizes DNA on an RNA template. (See all compounds classified as Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors.)
Following oral administration of adefovir dipivoxil, approximate bioavailability of adefovir is 59%. A single 10-mg oral dose of adefovir dipivoxil in adults results in peak adefovir plasma concentration within 0.58-4 hours.

9-(2-Phosphonylmethoxyethyl)adenine (PMEA) was the only metabolite formed after oral administration of bis-POM PMEA. Three metabolites were detected after oral administration of either bis-(phenyl) PMEA or bis-(o-ethoxyphenyl) PMEA to rats: PMEA, the corresponding monoester, and 2-adenylacetic acid. The major metabolite of bis-(phenyl) PMEA was 2-adenylacetic acid following oral administration. 2-Adenylacetic acid appears to have been formed from the intact prodrugs by a P450 mediated oxidation of the ethyl side chain.

Adefovir dipivoxil is a prodrug of adefovir, an acyclic nucleotide analog antiviral agent. Following initial diester hydrolysis in vivo to form adefovir, the drug undergoes subsequent phosphorylation by cellular enzymes to form its active metabolite, adefovir diphosphate. Adefovir diphosphate inhibits hepatitis B virus (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. Adefovir diphosphate is a weak inhibitor of human DNA polymerases, including alpha- and gamma-polymerases.

Adefovir is an acyclic nucleotide analog of adenosine monophosphate which is phosphorylated to the active metabolite adefovir diphosphate by cellular kinases. 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 adefovir diphosphate for HBV DNA polymerase was 0.1 uM. Adefovir diphosphate is a weak inhibitor of human DNA polymerases alpha and gamma with Ki values of 1.18 uM and 0.97 uM, respectively.

9-(2-Phosphonylmethoxyethyl)adenine (PMEA) is a potent and selective inhibitor of retrovirus (i.e., human immunodeficiency virus) replication in vitro and in vivo. Uptake of PMEA by human MT-4 cells and subsequent conversion to the mono- and diphosphorylated metabolites (PMEAp and PMEApp) are dose-dependent and occur proportionally with the initial extracellular PMEA concentrations. Adenylate kinase is unable to phosphorylate PMEA. However, 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate synthetase directly converts PMEA to PMEApp with a Km of 1.47 mM and a Vmax that is 150-fold lower than the Vmax for AMP. ATPase, 5'-phosphodiesterase, and nucleoside diphosphate kinase are able to dephosphorylate PMEApp to PMEAp, albeit to a much lower extent than the dephosphorylation of ATP. PMEApp has a relatively long intracellular half-life (16-18 hr) and has a much higher affinity for the human immunodeficiency virus-specified reverse transcriptase than for the cellular DNA polymerase alpha (Ki/Km: 0.01 and 0.60, respectively). PMEApp is at least as potent an inhibitor of human immunodeficiency virus reverse transcriptase as 2',3'-dideoxyadenosine 5'-triphosphate. Being an alternative substrate to dATP, PMEApp acts as a potent DNA chain terminator, and this may explain its anti-retrovirus activity.
