3'-Azido-2',3'-dideoxyuridine (AzdU, CS-87) is a potent inhibitor of human immunodeficiency virus replication in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) with limited toxicity for human bone marrow cells (BMC). In the present study, metabolism of AzdU was investigated in human PBMC

3'-Azido-2',3'-dideoxyuridine (AZDU) is a nucleoside analog structurally similar to zidovudine (AZT) with proven activity against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method to quantitatively determine AZDU and

Recently, it was shown that human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected cells preferentially locate in lymphoid tissue early in the course of infection. Therefore, it is important to characterize the disposition of the anti-HIV agents, 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine (AZT) and 3'-azido-2', 3'-dideoxyuridine (AZdU), in

The enzymatic glucuronidation of 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine (AZT) catalyzed by human liver microsomal UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.17, UDPGT) was inhibited by a number of nucleoside analogs. The inhibitory potency of these nucleoside analogs correlated with their hydrophobicity (r2 = 0.90, N = 13).

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
