DETAILS

Description (English)
Research Area: Infection
Biological Activity:
Stavudine is a nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NARTI) active against HIV. Stavudine is an analog of thymidine. It is phosphorylated by cellular kinases into active triphosphate. Stavudine triphosphate inhibits the HIV reverse transcriptase by competing with natural substrate, thymidine triphosphate. It also causes termination of DNA synthesis by incorporating into it. [1]
