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
N Clumeck
Antiviral therapy, 3 Suppl 4, 39-43 (2000-03-21)
Current guidelines for treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease favour the use of triple-drug combinations consisting of two nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) plus a protease inhibitor to achieve maximum suppression of HIV replication. There is considerable evidence
John C Martin et al.
Antiviral research, 85(1), 34-38 (2009-10-27)
The occasion of this 25th anniversary issue encouraged us to reminisce about the important history of the discovery of the dideoxynucleoside analogues for the treatment of HIV/AIDS and to chronicle our thoughts about a particular exciting and rewarding period of
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.
Susan M Cheer et al.
Drugs, 62(18), 2667-2674 (2002-12-06)
Stavudine administered once daily is a nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitor. The efficacy (reduction in viral load and increase in CD4+ lymphocyte counts from baseline) of stavudine once daily-containing triple therapy was similar to that of stavudine immediate release (IR)-containing
