Dipyridamole (DPM), a commonly used coronary vasodilator and antithrombotic drug, was shown recently to potentiate the antiviral effect of 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine (AZT) in HIV-1 infected human monocyte-derived macrophages (M/M) in vitro. We report in the present study that in uninfected M/M, DPM markedly inhibited cellular uptake of [3H]thymidine (dThd) and its incorporation into the nucleotide pools, particularly the dThd-triphosphate pool. In contrast, DPM did not affect cellular uptake and phosphorylation of [3H]AZT. Since dThd counteracts the phosphorylation and antiviral action of AZT, these findings support the hypothesis that the potentiation of the anti-HIV effect of AZT is due, at least in part, to differential inhibition of nucleoside salvage.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D004176 Dipyridamole A phosphodiesterase inhibitor that blocks uptake and metabolism of adenosine by erythrocytes and vascular endothelial cells.

D001692 Biological Transport The movement of materials (including biochemical substances and drugs) through a biological system at the cellular level. The transport can be across cell membranes and epithelial layers. It also can occur within intracellular compartments and extracellular compartments.

D013936 Thymidine A nucleoside in which THYMINE is linked to DEOXYRIBOSE. 2'-Deoxythymidine,Deoxythymidine,2' Deoxythymidine
D015215 Zidovudine A dideoxynucleoside compound in which the 3'-hydroxy group on the sugar moiety has been replaced by an azido group.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.
