| Indication: | For the treatment of Human immunovirus (HIV) infections. |
| Pharmacology: | Zalcitabine inhibits the activity of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) both by competing with the natural substrate dGTP and by its incorporation into viral DNA. |
| Mechanism_of_action: | Zalcitabine is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) with activity against Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1). Zalcitabine is phosphorylated to active metabolites that compete for incorporation into viral DNA. They inhibit the HIV reverse transcriptase enzyme competitively and act as a chain terminator of DNA synthesis. The lack of a 3--OH group in the incorporated nucleoside analogue prevents the formation of the 5- to 3- phosphodiester linkage essential for DNA chain elongation, and therefore, the viral DNA growth is terminated. |
