Lamivudine (BCH-189) salicylate is an orally active nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) that effectively inhibits the reverse transcriptase activity of both HIV 1/2 and hepatitis B virus. Moreover, it demonstrates the ability to penetrate the central nervous system [1] [2].
Lamivudine, (+/-)-trans- is a reverse transcriptase inhibitor and zalcitabine analog. It is used for the treatment of hepatitis B (HBV) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1).
Lamivudine 13C,15N2, an impurity of Lamivudine (BCH-189), functions as an inhibitor of both HIV-1/2 reverse transcriptase and hepatitis B virus reverse transcriptase, classifying it as a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTIs).
