Resistance to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors
Currently approved nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) include AZT (zidovudine, Retrovir), 3TC (lamivudine, Epivir), ddI (didanosine, Videx), abacavir (Ziagen), FTC (emtricitabine, Emtriva), and tenofovir (Viread). (Tenofovir is, strictly speaking, not a nucleoside analogue but a very closely related type of molecule called a nucleotide analogue). ddC (zalcitabine, Hivid) has been withdrawn.) Resistance to NRTIs is primarily caused by mutations in HIV's reverse transcriptase enzyme.
