A chemically related group of drugs used to inhibit HIV. Examples include the first drugs approved to treat HIV infection: AZT, ddI, ddC. They all work by the same mechanism, by inhibiting an enzyme called reverse transcriptase that is critical for HIV's survival. 2, record 1, English, - nucleoside%20analogue

Compuesto sintético, que carece del grupo fosfatado que tienen los nucleótidos, que actúa como una versión defectuosa del nucleósido natural al inhibir la transcriptasa inversa, la cual es la enzima viral encargada de integrar estas cadenas transcribiendo el código ARN viral al ADN. 1, record 1, Spanish, - nucle%C3%B3sido%20an%C3%A1logo
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
El VIH utiliza al nucleósido para integrarlo a la cadena de ADN de la célula cuando trata de reproducirse. Al ser sustituido el nucleósido natural por el nucleósido análogo, la cadena no puede sintetizarse eficazmente y la replicación no se efectúa. Son nucleósidos análogos el AZT, ddI, ddC, d4T y 3TC. 1, record 1, Spanish, - nucle%C3%B3sido%20an%C3%A1logo

[Les] inhibiteurs nucléosidiques de la transcriptase inverse (INTI) [sont des] anti-rétroviraux [actifs] sur VIH-1 et VIH-2. [Ces] analogues de bases nucléiques nécessitent pour être actifs d'être phosphorylés dans le milieu intra-cellulaire. Ils rentrent ensuite en compétition avec les substrats naturels de la transcriptase inverse et inhibent l'action de cette dernière. Ils bloquent ainsi la fabrication d'ADN pro-viral. 1, record 2, French, - inhibiteur%20nucl%C3%A9osidique%20de%20la%20transcriptase%20inverse

Medicamento antirretroviral análogo de los nucleósidos cuya estructura química constituye una versión modificada de un nucleósido natural. Este compuesto suprime la duplicación de los retrovirus al inactivar la enzima transcriptasa inversa. Los análogos de los nucleósidos causan terminación prematura de la cadena de ADN provírico (precursor vírico). Todos estos inhibidores exigen fosforilación en las células anfitrionas antes de su incorporación al ADN vírico. 1, record 2, Spanish, - inhibidor%20de%20la%20transcriptasa%20inversa%20an%C3%A1logo%20del%20nucle%C3%B3sido

Deoxyribonucleosides or ribonucleosides are collectively called nucleosides. A nucleoside differs from a nucleotide in lacking a phosphate. Nucleosides are named according to the base (adenine, guanine, cytosine, uracil or thymine) they contain. 3, record 3, English, - nucleoside
