By using an assay system based on a human hepatoblastoma cell line (HB611) that continuously synthesizes hepatitis B virus DNA, the following compounds were found to inhibit hepatitis B virus DNA synthesis at concentrations that were significantly lower than their minimum cytotoxic concentrations: 9-(2-phosphonylmethoxyethyl)-2,6-diaminopurine (PMEDAP), (S)-9-(3-hydroxy-2-phosphonylmethoxypropyl)adenine, 9-(phosphonylmethoxyethyl)adenine, 2',3'-dideoxy-2',3'-didehydrocytidine, and 2',3'-dideoxycytidine. The most potent compound was PMEDAP (50% effective concentration, 0.02 micrograms/ml). The selective index, or ratio of the 50% cytotoxic concentration to 50% effective concentration, of PMEDAP was greater than 750.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries

D004261 DNA Replication The process by which a DNA molecule is duplicated. Autonomous Replication,Replication, Autonomous,Autonomous Replications,DNA Replications,Replication, DNA,Replications, Autonomous,Replications, DNA
D004279 DNA, Viral Deoxyribonucleic acid that makes up the genetic material of viruses. Viral DNA
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.

D015224 Dideoxynucleosides Nucleosides that have two hydroxy groups removed from the sugar moiety. The majority of these compounds have broad-spectrum antiretroviral activity due to their action as antimetabolites. The nucleosides are phosphorylated intracellularly to their 5'-triphosphates and act as chain-terminating inhibitors of viral reverse transcription. 2',3'-Dideoxynucleosides,Dideoxyribonucleosides,ddNus,2',3' Dideoxynucleosides
D015611 Hepatitis B Virus, Duck A DNA virus that closely resembles human hepatitis B virus. It has been recovered from naturally infected ducks. DHBV,Duck hepatitis B virus,Duck Hepatitis B Viruses,Hepatitis B Viruses, Duck
