Amdoxovir is a pharmaceutical drug that has undergone research for the treatment of HIV/AIDS. It acts as a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI). The drug was discovered by Raymond F. Schinazi (Emory University) and C.K. Chu (University of Georgia) and developed by RFS Pharma.[1]

Amdoxovir was in advanced Phase II clinical trials around 2010.[2] In 2013, a Phase II trial was terminated[3] and another was withdrawn before it started.[4] No further studies appear to have been done.
