Product Name:

Zidovudine

CAS Number:

30516-87-1

Indication:

For the treatment of human immunovirus (HIV) infections.

Mode of Action:

Zidovudine, a structural analog of thymidine, inhibits the activity of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) both by competing with the natural substrate dGTP and by its incorporation into viral DNA.

Pharmacodynamics:

Zidovudine is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) with activity against Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1). Zidovudine is phosphorylated to active metabolites that compete for incorporation into viral DNA. They inhibit the HIV reverse transcriptase enzyme competitively and act as a chain terminator of DNA synthesis. The lack of a 3'-OH group in the incorporated nucleoside analogue prevents the formation of the 5' to 3' phosphodiester linkage essential for DNA chain elongation, and therefore, the viral DNA growth is terminated.

Metabolism:

Hepatic. Metabolized by glucuronide conjugation to major, inactive metabolite, 3_-azido-3_-deoxy-5_- O-beta-D-glucopyranuronosylthymidine (GZDV).

Toxicity:

Symptoms of overdose include fatigue, headache, nausea, and vomiting. LD₅₀ is 3084 mg/kg (orally in mice).

IUPAC:

1-[(2R, 4S, 5S)-4-azido-5-(hydroxymethyl)oxolan-2-yl]-5-methyl-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydropyrimidine-2, 4-dione
