3'-Azido-2',3'-deoxythymidine and carbovir [racemic and (-) enantiomer] were evaluated individually and in combination for antiviral activity against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 replication and cytotoxicity in vitro. The combination of these drugs synergistically inhibited human immunodeficiency virus type 1 replication in C3 and Jurkat cells and in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, although the same combination also produced synergistic cytotoxicity in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
