A significant number of patients with AIDS and AIDS-related complex develop neurological complications. Therefore, it is critical that anti-HIV agents penetrate the blood-brain barrier and suppress viral replication in the brain. In an effort to increase the brain delivery of

3'-Azido-2', 3'-dideoxyuridine (AZDU, AzddU, CS-87) has been shown to have potent anti-HIV activity in vitro. However, the compound exhibits a relatively short half-life and incomplete oral bioavailability in humans. In an effort to improve the pharmacokinetic properties of AZDU, prodrug

3'-Azido-2',3'-dideoxyuridine-5'-triphosphate was found to be a potent and highly selective inhibitor of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 and simian immunodeficiency virus reverse transcriptases. The affinity of 3'-azido-2',3'-dideoxyuridine-5'-triphosphate for the reverse transcriptases was similar to that observed for 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine-5'-triphosphate. Both compounds

3'-Azido-2',3'-dideoxyuridine (AZDU, Azddu, CS-87) is a nucleoside analog of 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine (zidovudine, AZT) that has been shown to inhibit human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1). AZDU is a potential candidate for treatment of pregnant mothers to prevent prenatal transmission of HIV/AIDS to their

The pharmacokinetics of 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine (AZT) and 3'-azido-2',3'-dideoxyuridine (AZddU, CS-87), active anti-HIV compounds, were characterized in uninfected mice. Sensitive and specific HPLC techniques were used to quantitate AZT and AZddU concentrations in serum and brain homogenates following iv doses of 50
