In contrast to 5'-O-carbonate 3TC derivatives (23, 24), which are clearly 3TC prodrugs, the corresponding 3TC carbamates (15-21 and 25), found to be very stable compounds with respect to enzymatic hydrolysis (cellular lysates and culture cell media) and still active on both HIV-1 and HBV infected cells, may not be 3TC prodrugs. The antiviral properties as well as the mechanism of action of 3TC analogues have been studied and evaluated.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D011355	Prodrugs	A compound that, on administration, must undergo chemical conversion by metabolic processes before becoming the pharmacologically active drug for which it is a prodrug.	Drug Precursor,Drug Precursors,Pro-Drug,Prodrug,Pro-Drugs,Precursor, Drug,Precursors, Drug,Pro Drug,Pro Drugs
D002460	Cell Line	Established cell cultures that have the potential to propagate indefinitely.	Cell Lines,Line, Cell,Lines, Cell
D003470	Culture Media	Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN.	Media, Culture
D003841	Deoxycytidine	A nucleoside component of DNA composed of CYTOSINE and DEOXYRIBOSE.	Cytosine Deoxyribonucleoside,Cytosine Deoxyriboside,Deoxyribonucleoside, Cytosine,Deoxyriboside, Cytosine
D006515	Hepatitis B virus	The type species of the genus ORTHOHEPADNAVIRUS which causes human HEPATITIS B and is also apparently a causal agent in human HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA. The Dane particle is an intact hepatitis virion, named after its discoverer. Non-infectious spherical and tubular particles are also seen in the serum.

D000998	Antiviral Agents	Agents used in the prophylaxis or therapy of VIRUS DISEASES. Some of the ways they may act include preventing viral replication by inhibiting viral DNA polymerase; binding to specific cell-surface receptors and inhibiting viral penetration or uncoating; inhibiting viral protein synthesis; or blocking late stages of virus assembly.
