The (-)-enantiomer of 2'-deoxy-3'-thiacytidine (3TC) was found to be a potent and selective inhibitor of human immunodeficiency virus types 1 (HIV-1) and 2 (HIV-2) in vitro. We determined its antiviral activity against a number of laboratory strains of HIV-1 and HIV-2 in a range of CD4-bearing lymphocyte cell lines (mean 50% inhibitory concentration [IC50] range, 4 nM to 0.67-mu-M). 3TC was also active against a range of HIV-1 strains in peripheral blood lymphocytes (mean IC50 range, 2.5 to 90 nM). The IC50 for cytotoxicity in seven lymphocyte cell cultures, including human peripheral blood lymphocytes, ranged from 0.5 to 6 mM. 3TC had no detectable antiviral activity against a range of other viruses or in cells chronically infected with HIV-1 or HIV-2. The effects of time of addition of the compound and varying the multiplicity of infection on the antiviral activity of 3TC were determined. The results showed that 3TC is a potent and selective inhibitor of HIV-1 and HIV-2 replication in vitro.
