Sofosbuvir
Absorption: Prodrug that is rapidly metabolized to its active form (GS-461203) following absorption.
Distribution: Unknown.
Metabolism/Excretion: Extensively metabolized primarily to GS-461203, an active antiviral moiety, then converted to GS-331007, which does not have antiviral activity. 80% excreted in urine mostly as GS-331007, 14% excreted in feces.
Half-life: Sofosbuvir 0.5 hr; GS-331007 29 hr.
