(-)-2'-deoxy-3'-thiacytidine is a potent, highly selective inhibitor of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 and type 2 replication in vitro
Open accessAbstract
The (-)-enantiomer of 2'-deoxy-3'-thiacytidine (3TC) was found to be a potent and selective inhibitor of human immunodeficiency virus types 1 (HIV-1) and 2 (HIV-2) in vitro. We determined its antiviral activity against a number of laboratory strains of HIV-1 and HIV-2 in a range of CD4-bearing lymphocyte cell lines (mean 50% inhibitory concentration [IC50] range, 4 nM to 0.67 microM). 3TC was also active against a range of HIV-1 strains in peripheral blood lymphocytes (mean IC50 range, 2.5 to 90 nM). The IC50 for cytotoxicity in seven lymphocyte cell cultures, including human peripheral blood lymphocytes, ranged from 0.5 to 6 mM. 3TC had no detectable antiviral activity against a range of other viruses or in cells chronically infected with HIV-1 or HIV-2. The effects of time of addition of the compound and varying the multiplicity of infection on the antiviral activity of 3TC were determined. The results showed that 3TC is a potent and selective inhibitor of HIV-1 and HIV-2 replication in vitro.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
