3′-Azido-2′,3′-dideoxythymidine (AZT) and 2′,3′-didehydro-2′,3′-dideoxythymidine (D4T) are potent and selective inhibitors of human immunodeficiency virus replication in MT-4 and ATH8 cells. They are also inhibitory to the replication of murine retroviruses,i.e.Moloney murine sarcoma virus-induced transformation of C3H cells. In MT-4 cells AZT is readily phosphorylated to its 5′-monophosphate, while the 5′-di- and 5′-triphosphates are generated to a 200–600-fold lower extent than the 5′-monophosphate. D4T is phosphorylated in MT-4 cells to its 5′-monophosphate at a 300–600-fold lower extent than AZT. The phosphorylation of AZT in the thymidine kinasedeficient cell line (Raji/TK−) is severely depressed, while D4T phosphorylation is only slightly diminished in Raji/TK−as compared to Raji/0 cells. D4T has a 10-fold lower affinity for phosphorylation by crude MT-4 cell extracts than AZT (Km, 142 and 14 µM, respectively), and theVmaxfor phosphorylation of D4T is only 5% that of AZT. D4T is phosphorylated by MT-4 cell extracts about 180-fold less efficiently than AZT (Vmax/Km, 0.06 for D4T, as compared to 11 for AZT), and this is consistent with the differences found in the amounts of phosphorylated products of D4T and AZT formed in intact MT-4 cells. The 5′-triphosphates of AZT and D4T are equipotent in their inhibitory effects on the reverse transcriptases from human immunodeficiency virus and Moloney murine leukemia virus.
