Abstract

The present disclosure provides novel anhydrate crystalline Forms 1 and 4 of 4′-Ethynyl-2-fluoro-2′-deoxyadenosine and pharmaceutical compositions thereof, each of which may be useful for the inhibition of HIV reverse transcriptase, the treatment or prophylaxis of HIV infection and/or the treatment, prophylaxis and/or delay in the onset or progression of AIDS or ARC.
