Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is an oral prodrug and acyclic nucleotide analog of adenosine monophosphate that inhibits HIV-1 (HIV) reverse transcriptase. A growing subset of TDF-treated HIV+… Expand
A brief overview of mechanisms of mitochondrial toxicity from NRTIs
Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) in combinations with other antiretrovirals (highly active antiretroviral therapy, HAART) are the cornerstones of AIDS therapy, turning HIV… Expand

Zidovudine (AZT) inhibits HIV-1 replication in AIDS. A limiting side effect is AZT-induced toxic myopathy. Molecular changes in a rat model of AZT-induced toxic myopathy in vivo helped define… Expand
Infection of the heart by the human immunodeficiency virus.
Heart muscle disease in the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), characterized by electrocardiographic changes or congestive cardiomyopathy, is a documented clinical problem, but its… Expand
