Lamivudine
Lamivudine is a potent nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor with an IC50 of 2.7 mM. (In Vitro) :Lamivudine (1 μM) is potent inhibitor of hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication, shows antiviral activity in primary duck hepatocyte (PDH) cultures derived from ducklings congenitally infected with the duck hepatitis B virus (DHBV) .Lamivudine (0-20 μM; 2, 4, 9 d) inhibits DHBV replication with 50% inhibitory concentration of 0.55 μM.Lamivudine, combinded with penciclovir (9-[2-hydroxy-1- (hydroxymethyl) ethoxymethyl]guanine [PCV]), (1 μM; 2, 4, 9 d) shows synergistic effect, acts potent function in reducing the normally recalcitrant viral covalently closed circular (CCC) DNA form of DHBV. (In Vivo) :Lamivudine (20-500 mg/kg/d; p.o.; 15 or 45 d) causes oxidative stress and is toxic to rat liver.Lamivudine (50 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) penetrates well in CNS and localizes in brain regions susceptible to HIV neurodegeneration in rat.
