GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATIONS

Dideoxynucleoside is a synthetic nucleoside analogue which lacks two hydroxyl groups on 2' and 3' carbon. This modification prevents the formation of phosphodiester linkages which are needed for the completion of nucleic acid chains. Some 2',3'-dideoxynucleosides acts as a chain-terminator of viral DNA by inhibiting the enzyme reverse transcriptase. These compounds inhibit HIV replication and thus have antiretroviral activity in the treatment of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
