title: [Inhibition of replication of human hepatitis B virus].
abstract: Several nucleoside 5'-triphosphate analogs were investigated as inhibitors of human hepatitis B virus replication. Different analogs inhibited DNA synthesis differently, 3'-azido-2',3'-dideoxythymidine 5'triphosphate being the most active compound. This inhibitor blocked DNA synthesis by 50% at inhibitor: substrate molar ratio 1:8, and by 80% - at 1:1. The hypothesis is formulated that 3'-azido-2',3'-dideoxythymidine 5'-triphosphate inhibits RNA directed viral DNA replication due to incorporation of this compound into 3'-termini of newly synthesized DNA chains. The phenomenon observed opens new possibilities for chemotherapy of acute and chronic human hepatitis B.
