Zalcitabine is a nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NARTI).Zalcitabine is an analog of pyrimidine. It is a derivative of the naturally existing deoxycytidine, made by replacing the hydroxyl group in position 3’ with a hydrogen.It is phosphorylated in T cells and other HIV target cells into its active triphosphate form, ddCTP. This active metabolite works as a substrate for HIV reverse transcriptase, and also by incorporation into the viral DNA, hence terminating the chain elongation due to the missing hydroxyl group. Since zalcitabine is a reverse transcriptase inhibitor it possess activity only against retroviruses.

| Stavudine
Stavudine (D4T) is a potent inhibitor of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase in vitro. Stavudine also inhibits the replication of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Stavudine reduces NLRP3 inflammasome activation and modulates Amyloid-β autophagy. Stavudine induces apoptosis. |
| Abacavir sulfate
Abacavir is a commonly used nucleoside analogue with potent antiviral activity against HIV-1. |
| Dapivirine
Dapivirine is a non-nucleoside inhibitor for HIV reverse transcriptase with IC50 of 24 nM. Dapivirine (TMC120) binds directly to HIV-1 reverse transcriptase. Dapivirine (TMC120) regulates autophagy and induced Akt, Bad and SAPK/JNK activations. |
| Etravirine
Etravirine (TMC125) is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) used for the treatment of HIV. |
| Rilpivirine (R278474)
Rilpivirine (R278474) is a potent and specific diarylpyrimidine (DAPY) non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI). Rilpivirine has high antiviral activity against wild-type HIV (EC50=0.4 nM) and mutant viruses (EC50=0.1-2.0 nM). |
