The nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) are used in antiretroviral therapy worldwide for the treatment of HIV infections. These drugs act by blocking reverse transcriptase enzyme activity, causing pro-viral DNA chain termination. As a consequence, NRTIs could cause genomic instability
R L Murphy
Antiviral therapy, 3 Suppl 4, 69-73 (2000-03-21)
Initial studies of multiple-agent antiretroviral combinations including the thymidine nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitor (RTI) stavudine (2',3'-didehydro-2',3'-dideoxythymidine; D4T) have shown potent anti-HIV effects in both treatment-naive and -experienced patients. A number of ongoing randomized comparative trials are assessing stavudine-based multiple

Data on the biologic effects and safety of stavudine in patients with AIDS and AIDS-related complex represent results of two phase I trials (n = 84), another phase I study of patients with hematologic intolerance to zidovudine (n = 23)
Alain Makinson et al.
Expert opinion on drug safety, 7(3), 283-293 (2008-05-09)
Western randomized trials and prospective cohorts in resource-limited settings have proven virological success with stavudine-based highly active antiretroviral therapy. However, stavudine is no longer recommended in first-line treatments in these two settings due to its intrinsic toxicities and side effects.
M Hurst et al.
Drugs, 58(5), 919-949 (1999-12-14)
Stavudine is a thymidine nucleoside analogue which is phosphorylated intracellularly to an active metabolite, stavudine 5'-triphosphate. This metabolite inhibits HIV replication, either by competing with thymidine 5'-triphosphate for incorporation into viral DNA by reverse transcriptase or by causing premature termination
