Design, synthesis and studies of triphosphate analogues for the production of anti AZT-TP antibodies

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2010 Feb 1;20(3):987-90. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2009.12.053. Epub 2009 Dec 21.

Abstract

Triphosphates anabolites are the active chemical species of nucleosidic reverse transcriptase inhibitors in HIV-therapy. Herein, we describe (i) the design of stable triphosphate analogues of AZT using molecular modelling, (ii) their synthesis and (iii) their use for producing anti AZT-TP antibodies in the aim of developing an immunoassay for therapeutic drug monitoring.
