Carbovir: the (-) enantiomer is a potent and selective antiviral agent against human immunodeficiency virus in vitro
Abstract
In this paper we describe the in vitro antiviral activity of the (-) enantiomer of carbocyclic 2',3'-deoxydidehydroguanosine, (-) carbovir, a nucleoside analogue that has selective and potent anti-HIV activity in a series of lymphocyte culture systems. The cellular cytotoxicity of this compound has also been evaluated in a number of systems and compared to the saturated dideoxynucleoside analogues AZT and ddC.
