Synthetic Approaches to Lamivudine: An Anti-HIV AIDs and Anti-Hepititus B Drug
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lamivudine is an extensively used drug in combinational therapies for treatment of AIDS and hepatitis B. Due to the presence of S, O acetal and stereogenic centres, the synthesis of lamivudine in good enantiomeric yield is a challenge for synthetic chemists. The main focus of this review article is to highlight systematically those few synthetic strategies which are reported in literature since its discovery in 1989 to approach this potent synthetic nucleoside analogue.

Study of Anti-Retroviral Effects of Salix Aegyptiaca L Herbal Extract on HIV-1 in-vitro
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is the major problem in the world. Nowadays, new anti-retroviral drugs are extracted from medicinal plants, make an important role to supersede synthetic drugs with different side effects. In this study, we studied the Salix aegyptiaca L extract, Iranian herb, as an anti-HIV drug with anti-retroviral effects. We used a single cycle replicable (SCR) H...
متن کاملToward the Development of a Single-Round Infection Assay Based on EGFP Reporting for Anti-HIV-1 Drug Discovery
Background: The rapid increase of HIV-1 strains resistant to current antiretroviral drugs is a challenge for successful AIDS therapy. This necessitates the development of novel drugs, and to this end, availability of screening systems for in vitro drug discovery is a priority. Herein, we report the modification of a previously developed system for increased sensitivity, ease of use, and cost-ef...
متن کاملImmune Response to Standard Hepatitis B Vaccination in HIV-Infected Patients
Background: Due to their similar routes of transmission, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) co-infection occurs considerably. HBV infection progresses more rapidly in HIV-infected patients. Therefore, HBV vaccination of all non-immune HIV infected patients is recommended. On the other hand, HIV-infected subjects have suboptimal responses to HBV vaccine. In this study...
متن کاملEvaluation of Lamivudine Resistance Mutations in HBV/HIV Co-infected Patients
Background and Objective: The drug resistance mutations are key elements in the failure of long-term treatment of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections. The mutation in the YMDD motif in the P gene of HBV is the most critical factor in antiviral drug (especially lamivudine) resistance. This study aimed to assess the YMDD motif and other polymerase gene mutati...

Background: Tuberculosis with high prevalence in HIV/AIDS patients is the main reason for morbidity and mortality in these patients. About one-third of patients with HIV infection have concomitant tuberculosis. Lack of appropriate infection control on many social and economic communities will impose. Comprehensive study on the effects of anti-tuberculosis drugs in patients with HIV infecti...
