Description and Uses
Zidovudine, also known as azidothymidine (AZT), is an antiviral agent acting via reverse transcnptase inhibition. It was first launched in the U.K. and subsequently introduced in over a dozen countries for the management of severe manifestations of HIV infection. In patients with AIDS and ARC, zidovudine reduces the risk of opportunistic infections and prolongs survival time. In symptom-free patients it shows promise in halting further immunological deterioration.
Zidovudine is an antiretroviral drug that is clinically active against HIV-1 and is intended
to treat HIV-infected patients. Zidovudine is an analog of thymidine that inhibits replication of the AIDS virus. It also turned into mono-, di-, and triphosphates by the same cellular enzymes that catalyze phosphorylation of thymidine and thymidine nucleosides.
Zidovudine-triphosphate is then included in the terminal fragment of the growing chain of
viral DNA by viral reverse transcriptase, thus causing the viral DNA chain to break apart
in cells infected with the virus.
Zidovudine has been authorized for treating patients with AIDS. It significantly prolongs the life of the patient, although it has a number of toxic effects. Synonyms of this
drug are azidothymidine and retrovir.
