HOT: phosphoramidate d4T derivatives show in vitro anti-HIV activity

Uncovering a new type of phosphoramidite prodrug, Piet Herdewijn et al. at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium) describe the synthesis and biological evaluation of phosphoramidate d4T derivatives against HIV. Some of the newly synthesized compounds were found to act as chain terminators for HIV-1 RT, thus inhibiting HIV-1 replication.
