DESCOVY (emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide) is a fixed dose combination tablet containing emtricitabine (FTC) and tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) for oral administration. FTC, a synthetic nucleoside analog of cytidine, is an HIV nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor (HIV NRTI). TAF, an HIV NRTI, is converted in vivo to tenofovir, an acyclic nucleoside phosphonate (nucleotide) analog of adenosine 5′-monophosphate. DESCOVY tablets are available in two dose strengths: 200 mg/25 mg tablets: 200 mg of FTC and 25 mg of TAF (equivalent to 28 mg of tenofovir alafenamide fumarate). 120 mg/15 mg tablets: 120 mg of FTC and 15 mg of TAF (equivalent to 16.8 mg of tenofovir alafenamide fumarate). Both dose strengths of DESCOVY tablets include the following inactive ingredients: croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, and microcrystalline cellulose. The 200 mg/ 25 mg tablets are film-coated with a coating material containing indigo carmine aluminum lake, polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, talc, and titanium dioxide. The 120 mg/15 mg tablets are film-coated with a coating material containing polyvinyl alcohol, titanium dioxide, polyethylene glycol, and talc. Emtricitabine: The chemical name of FTC is 4-amino-5-fluoro-1-(2 R -hydroxymethyl-1,3-oxathiolan-5 S -yl)-(1H)-pyrimidin-2-one. FTC is the (-)enantiomer of a thio analog of cytidine, which differs from other cytidine analogs in that it has a fluorine in the 5 position. FTC has a molecular formula of C 8 H 10 FN 3 O 3 S and a molecular weight of 247.24 and has the following structural formula: FTC is a white to off-white powder with a solubility of approximately 112 mg per mL in water at 25 °C. Chemical Structure Tenofovir Alafenamide: The chemical name of tenofovir alafenamide fumarate drug substance is L-alanine, N -[( S )-[[(1 R )-2-(6-amino-9 H -purin-9-yl)-1-methylethoxy]methyl]phenoxyphosphinyl]-, 1-methylethyl ester, (2 E )-2-butenedioate (2:1). Tenofovir alafenamide fumarate has an empirical formula of C 21 H 29 O 5 N 6 P•½(C 4 H 4 O 4 ) and a formula weight of 534.50 and has the following structural formula: Tenofovir alafenamide fumarate is a white to off-white or tan powder with a solubility of 4.7 mg per mL in water at 20 °C.
