Abstract excerpt
To design combination strategies for chronic hepatitis B therapy, we evaluated in vitro the inhibitory activity of 4 nucleoside analogs, (-)FTC, L-FMAU, DXG, and DAPD, in comparison with lamivudine (3TC) and PMEA. In a cell-free assay for the expression of wild-type duck hepatitis B virus (DHBV) reverse transcriptase, DAPD-TP was found to be the most active on viral minus strand DNA synthesis, including the...
