General description

Abacavir exhibits antiviral activity. It is associated with myocardial infarction and fatal hypersensitivity reaction (HSR).

Application

Abacavir sulfate has been used as a compound to validate the P19C5 gastrulation in mouse. It has also been used to induces chromosomal double-strand breaks (DSBs) and kills adult T cell leukemia (ATL) cells.
Abacavir sulfate has been used in the cytotoxicity to test its tumour promoting activity U937 cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Abacavir incorporated in the cells is converted to triphosphate containing guanine analog carbovir (CBV) and it favors the generation of higher double stranded breaks (DSBs).
Abacavir sulfate is a Nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI); guanosine analog used to treat HIV and AIDS.
