Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor toxicity and mitochondrial DNA
7 Oct 2010
Abstract excerpt
IMPORTANCE OF THE FIELD: HIV/AIDS is a worldwide epidemic. While there remains no cure for the HIV-1 infection, nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) have helped transform the HIV-1 infection from a lethal disease into a chronic illness. Though NRTIs inhibit HIV-1 replication, they exhibit side effects in human tissues that appear to result from NRTI inhibition of human mitochondrial polymerase γ...
