Fosdevirine is an experimental antiviral agent of the non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor class that was studied for potential use in the treatment of HIV-AIDS.[1][2]

It was discovered by Idenix Pharmaceuticals and was being developed by GlaxoSmithKline and ViiV Healthcare, but it has now been discontinued[3][4] due to unexpected side effects.[5]
