AI Article Synopsis
- - This article discusses the creation of AZT analogues that have a non-cyclic chain connecting the sugar and base parts.
- - The synthesis process for these compounds was made easier and faster using microwave irradiation.
- - The new compounds were analyzed using techniques like (1)H NMR and IR spectroscopy, and their effectiveness against HIV-1 was tested.
Article Abstract
This article describes the synthesis of a series of AZT analogues bearing an acyclic chain between the sugar and the base moieties is described. These new compounds were readily obtained using microwave irradiation. The compounds were characterized by (1)H NMR and IR spectroscopy. Antiviral (HIV-1) properties of these compounds were examined.

Islatravir (ISL) is the first-in-class nucleoside reverse transcriptase translocation inhibitor (NRTtI) with novel modes of action. Data on ISL resistance are currently limited, particularly to HIV-1 non-B subtypes. This study aimed to assess prevalent nucleos(t)ide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI)-resistant mutations in HIV-1 subtype C for their phenotypic resistance to ISL.

African Swine Fever (ASF) is a highly contagious disease affecting both domestic pigs and wild boars. In domestic pigs, ASF is a rapidly-progressing disease with a mortality rate reaching 100 %, causing tremendous economic loss in affected areas. ASFV is caused by African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV), which is a large, enveloped double-stranded DNA virus belonging to the Asfarviridae family.

Pronucleotides, after entering the cell, undergo chemical or enzymatic conversion into nucleotides with a free phosphate residue, and the released nucleoside 5'-monophosphate is then phosphorylated to the biologically active form, namely nucleoside 5'-triphosphate. The active form can inhibit HIV virus replication. For the most effective therapy, it is necessary to improve the transport of prodrugs into organelles.

Organisms are usually exposed to mixtures of emerging pollutants in aquatic environments. Due to their widespread use and environmental relevance, the individual and combined effects of the drugs azithromycin (AZT) and ivermectin (IVM) on the freshwater rotifer Lecane papuana and the euryhaline rotifer Proales similis were investigated. Rotifers showed greater sensitivity to IVM compared to AZT.

Purpose: P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) is a purinergic cation channel whose activation has been linked with age-related macular degeneration (ARMD). Several nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, zidovudine (AZT), lamivudine (3TC) and abacavir (ABC), have been shown to inhibit P2X7R and improve outcomes in animal models of ARMD. Our aim is to investigate the association between chronic AZT, 3TC, and ABC therapy and ARMD in a clinical setting.
