2',3'-Dideoxycytidinene (ddeCyd), the 2',3'-unsaturated derivative of 2',3'-dideoxycytidine (ddCyd) is, like ddCyd itself, a potent and selective inhibitor of HTLV-III/LAV in vitro. This conclusion is based on the relatively high ratio of effective antiviral dose (0.3 microM) versus cell growth inhibitory concentration (20-35 microM) and the lack of any appreciable inhibitory activity against a series of non-oncogenic RNA and DNA viruses. Both compounds were considerably more inhibitory to human lymphoid cell lines than human nonlymphoid or murine cell lines. They were highly dependent on prior activation by deoxycytidine kinase to exert their anti-HTLV-III/LAV and cytostatic effects. In contrast with ddCyd, ddeCyd lost part of its anti-retrovirus effect upon prolonged incubation (10 days) with the virus-infected cells in culture.

D002460 Cell Line Established cell cultures that have the potential to propagate indefinitely. Cell Lines,Line, Cell,Lines, Cell
D002470 Cell Survival The span of viability of a cell characterized by the capacity to perform certain functions such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, some form of responsiveness, and adaptability. Cell Viability,Cell Viabilities,Survival, Cell,Viabilities, Cell,Viability, Cell
D003588 Cytopathogenic Effect, Viral Visible morphologic changes in cells infected with viruses. It includes shutdown of cellular RNA and protein synthesis, cell fusion, release of lysosomal enzymes, changes in cell membrane permeability, diffuse changes in intracellular structures, presence of viral inclusion bodies, and chromosomal aberrations. It excludes malignant transformation, which is CELL TRANSFORMATION, VIRAL. Viral cytopathogenic effects provide a valuable method for identifying and classifying the infecting viruses.

D003841 Deoxycytidine A nucleoside component of DNA composed of CYTOSINE and DEOXYRIBOSE. Cytosine Deoxyribonucleoside,Cytosine Deoxyriboside,Deoxyribonucleoside, Cytosine,Deoxyriboside, Cytosine
D003842 Deoxycytidine Kinase An enzyme that catalyzes reversibly the phosphorylation of deoxycytidine with the formation of a nucleoside diphosphate and deoxycytidine monophosphate. Cytosine arabinoside can also act as an acceptor. All natural nucleoside triphosphates, except deoxycytidine triphosphate, can act as donors. The enzyme is induced by some viruses, particularly the herpes simplex virus (HERPESVIRUS HOMINIS). EC 2.7.1.74. Kinase, Deoxycytidine
D006678 HIV Human immunodeficiency virus. A non-taxonomic and historical term referring to any of two species, specifically HIV-1 and/or HIV-2. Prior to 1986, this was called human T-lymphotropic virus type III/lymphadenopathy-associated virus (HTLV-III/LAV). From 1986-1990, it was an official species called HIV. Since 1991, HIV was no longer considered an official species name; the two species were designated HIV-1 and HIV-2.
