Abstract
Carbocyclic 2',3'-didehydro-2',3'-dideoxyguanosine (Carbovir: NSC 614846), a novel nucleoside analog, emerged as a potent and selective anti-HIV agent from a large screening program conducted by the National Cancer Institute and its contractors. Its hydrolytic stability and its ability to inhibit the infectivity and replication of HIV in T-cells at concentrations of approximately 200- to 400-fold below toxic concentrations make carbovir a top-priority candidate for development as a potential antiretroviral agent in the treatment of AIDS patients.Entities:
