General description

2′,3′-Didehydro-3′-deoxythymidine (d4T), a pyrimidine analogue is the inhibitor of reverse transcriptase.

Application

2′,3′-Didehydro-3′-deoxythymidine has been used in cell treatment. It has also been used as a drug in Caenorhabditis elegans to study drug induced mitochondrial toxicity. It has also been used in the preclinical evaluation of GS-9160.

Biochem/physiol Actions

2′,3′-Didehydro-3′-deoxythymidine is a nucleoside analog, which inhibits HIV replication in vitro. Stavudine has the ability to enter the cells by non-facilitated diffusion. It possesses inhibitory activity against moloney murine leukemia virus, friend murine leukemia virus and simian immunodeficiency virus.
