Diphosphates of N-(2-phosphonylmethoxyethyl) derivatives of heterocyclic bases were studied in the endogenous oligo(dT)12-18 primed reaction of reverse transcriptase from detergent-disrupted AMV(MAV) retrovirions. These diphosphates (analogues of nucleotide 5'-triphosphates) exhibited an inhibitory activity towards reverse transcriptase. This inhibitory activity was dependent on the character of the heterocyclic base and decreased in the order: 2-aminoadenine greater than adenine greater than guanine much greater than cytosine much greater than thymine greater than uracil. The 2-aminoadenine derivative was more potent than either AZT-TP or ddTTP, while PMEApp had approximately the same potency as the two reference compounds (IC50 approximately 1 microM at 20 microM competing substrate). This finding is consistent with the antiviral activity of the parent nucleotide analogues against retroviruses (including HIV).
