The antiretroviral 2′,3′-dideoxycytidine causes mitochondrial dysfunction in proliferating and differentiated HepaRG human cell cultures
23 Dec 2020
Abstract excerpt
Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) were the first drugs used to treat human immunodeficiency virus infection, and their use can cause mitochondrial toxicity, including mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) depletion in several cases. The first-generation NRTIs, including 2',3'-dideoxycytidine (ddC), were originally and are still pursued as anticancer agents. NRTI-sensitive DNA polymerases localizing to...
