Abstract

The advent of antiretroviral combination therapy has significantly impacted the HIV/AIDS epidemic. No longer a death sentence, HIV infection can be controlled and suppressed using cocktail therapies that contain two or more small molecule drugs. This review aims to highlight the discovery, development, and impact of one such molecule, namely, emtricitabine (FTC, emtriva), which is one of the most successful drugs in the fight against HIV/AIDS and has been taken by over 94% of individuals infected with HIV in the USA. We also pay tribute to Dr. John C. Martin, former CEO and Chairman of Gilead Sciences, who unexpectedly passed away in 2021. A true visionary, he was instrumental in delivering FTC, as part of combination therapy with TDF (tenofovir, viread) to the global stage. As the fight to eradicate HIV marches on, we honor Dr. Martin's legacy of collaboration, achievement, and hope.

预防、治疗和根除艾滋病的最佳支柱:恩曲他滨+替诺福韦。
抗逆转录病毒联合疗法的出现极大地影响了艾滋病毒/艾滋病的流行。使用含有两种或两种以上小分子药物的鸡尾酒疗法可以控制和抑制艾滋病病毒感染,而不再是死刑。本综述旨在重点介绍恩曲他滨(FTC,emtriva)这类分子药物的发现、开发和影响,恩曲他滨是抗击艾滋病毒/艾滋病最成功的药物之一,在美国,超过 94% 的艾滋病毒感染者都服用了这种药物。我们还要向 2021 年意外去世的吉利德科学公司前首席执行官兼董事长约翰-马丁博士(Dr. John C. Martin)致敬。作为一位真正的远见卓识者,他在将 FTC 作为 TDF(替诺福韦、韦瑞德)联合疗法的一部分推向全球舞台方面发挥了重要作用。在根除艾滋病的斗争中,我们向马丁博士留下的合作、成就和希望致敬。
