N3-Methyl derivative of 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine 5'-triphosphate (Me-AZTTP) showed a potent inhibitory effect on HIV-1 reverse transcriptase using MS2 phage RNA as the template. The inhibition mechanism of MeAZTTP was noncompetitive with respect to any of the template MS2 RNA, dATP and dCTP. On the other hand, MeAZTTP showed a mixed-type inhibition with respect to dGTP and dTTP. These results indicate that MeAZTTP competes not only with dTTP but also with dGTP.

D008745 Methylation Addition of methyl groups. In histo-chemistry methylation is used to esterify carboxyl groups and remove sulfate groups by treating tissue sections with hot methanol in the presence of hydrochloric acid. (From Stedman, 25th ed) Methylations
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.

D015215 Zidovudine A dideoxynucleoside compound in which the 3'-hydroxy group on the sugar moiety has been replaced by an azido group. This modification prevents the formation of phosphodiester linkages which are needed for the completion of nucleic acid chains. The compound is a potent inhibitor of HIV replication, acting as a chain-terminator of viral DNA during reverse transcription. It improves immunologic function, partially reverses the HIV-induced neurological dysfunction, and improves certain other clinical abnormalities associated with AIDS. Its principal toxic effect is dose-dependent suppression of bone marrow, resulting in anemia and leukopenia.
