Abstrakt: |
The release of the 5'-monophosphates of the antiretroviral nucleoside analogs 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine, 3'-deoxythymidine and 2',3'-dideoxycytidine from the corresponding nucleoside diphosphate diglycerides as a result of rat liver mitochondrial enzymatic activity is shown. The three analogs appeared to be about equally active as substrate for this pyrophosphatase activity which showed maximum conversion rates of 3-6 nmol min-1 mg protein-1 at substrate concentrations between 500 to 800 microM. These results may contribute to the biochemical explanation for the observed anti-HIV activity of this type of phospholipid conjugates in vitro. |
