Bio Chemical Notes
Lamivudine is used in treatment of HIV infection and chronic hepatitis B (HBV). It is phosphorylated intracellularly to its active 5'-triphosphate metabolite, lamivudine triphosphate (L-TP). This is then incorporated into viral DNA by HIV reverse transcriptase. Ref: Clinical Pharmacokinetics. 1999; 36 (1), 41-66.
