Application
Lamivudine has been used to deplete the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) forms for the preparation of inverse nested PCR.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Lamivudine is a potent nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor (nRTI).
Lamivudine is a potent nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor (nRTI). It is an analogue of cytidine, and can inhibit both types (1 and 2) of HIV reverse transcriptase as well as the reverse transcriptase of hepatitis B. It needs to be phosphorylated to its triphosphate form before it is active. 3TC-triphosphate also inhibits cellular DNA polymerase.
