About RDEA806
RDEA806 is a novel non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor
(NNRTI) for the potential treatment of HIV infection. Based on preclinical
and clinical studies to-date, Ardea believes that RDEA806 possesses several
attractive properties. These include: potential for potent antiviral
activity against a wide range of HIV viral isolates, including those that
are resistant to efavirenz (Sustiva(R)), Bristol-Myers Squibb) and other
currently available NNRTIs; a high genetic barrier to resistance; the
potential to be administered in a
