Carbocylic 2',3'-didehydro-2',3'-dideoxyguanosine (Carbovir; NSC 614846) is an antiretroviral agent which may be useful in the treatment of AIDS. We have synthesized the 5'-triphosphate of Carbovir and examined its ability to inhibit human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase (EC 2.7.7.49) and other retroviral reverse transcriptases, as well as human DNA polymerases alpha, beta, gamma (EC 2.7.7.7) and DNA primase (EC 2.7.7.6). Carbovir triphosphate emerges as a highly selective inhibitor of reverse transcriptases with little, if any, effect on the cellular enzymes. 3'-Azido-2',3'-dideoxythymidine (AZT) triphosphate and the two dideoxynucleoside triphosphates, ddTTP and ddGTP, inhibited HIV-1 reverse transcriptase to the same degree as Carbovir triphosphate, but were less selective in that they also inhibited DNA polymerases beta and gamma. We conclude that Carbovir is a highly selective antiretroviral agent.
碳环2′,3′-二脱氢-2′,3′-二脱氧鸟苷(卡波韦;NSC 614846)是一种抗逆转录病毒药物,可能对治疗艾滋病有用。我们合成了卡波韦的5′-三磷酸酯,并检测了其抑制1型人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV-1)逆转录酶(EC 2.7.7.49)和其他逆转录病毒逆转录酶以及人类DNA聚合酶α、β、γ(EC 2.7.7.7)和DNA引发酶(EC 2.7.7.6)的能力。卡波韦三磷酸酯是一种对逆转录酶具有高度选择性的抑制剂,对细胞酶几乎没有影响(如果有影响的话)。3′-叠氮-2′,3′-二脱氧胸苷(AZT)三磷酸酯以及两种双脱氧核苷三磷酸酯,即ddTTP和ddGTP,对HIV-1逆转录酶的抑制程度与卡波韦三磷酸酯相同,但选择性较差,因为它们也抑制DNA聚合酶β和γ。我们得出结论,卡波韦是一种高度选择性的抗逆转录病毒药物。
