Description

Lamivudine is a reverse transcriptase inhibitor used alone or in combination with other classes of anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) drugs in the treatment of HIV infection. This molecule has two stereo-centers, thus giving rise to four stereoisomers: (+/-)-cis-lamivudine and (+/-)-trans-lamivudine. The latter is considered to be impurity of the pharmaceutically active isomer, (-)-cis-lamivudine.

In Vivo Use Guide
Adults: 300 mg daily, administered as either 150 mg twice daily or 300 mg once daily.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
The antiviral activity of lamivudine against HIV-1 was assessed in a number of cell lines including monocytes and fresh human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBMCs) using standard susceptibility assays. EC50 values were in the range of 0.003 to 15 microM (1 microM = 0.23 mcg per mL).
