Nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitor, the family of antiretrovirals which includes AZT, ddI, 3TC, d4T, ddC and abacavir.
A kind of HIV med that blocks HIV from making copies of itself early in the replication process. NRTIs block the reverse transcriptase enzyme that makes it possible for HIV to transfer its genetic material into the CD4 cell's genetic material. NRTIs are similar to NNRTIs, although they work in a slightly different way.
an antiviral drug used against HIV; is incorporated into the DNA of the virus and stops the building process; results in incomplete DNA that cannot create a new virus; often used in combination with other drugs
Nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitor, the family of antiretrovirals which includes AZT, ddI, 3TC, ddC, abacavir and FTC.
Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor. this is a type of drug used against HIV infection that also inhibits the production of HIV's genetic material (for example, zidovudine, didanosine, zalcitabine, stavudine)
nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor. a nucleoside analog antiretroviral drug whose chemical structure is made up of a modified version of a natural nucleoside. These compounds suppress reproduction of retroviruses by interfering with the reverse transcriptase enzyme. The nucleoside analogs cause premature termination of the proviral (viral precursor) DNA chain. All NRTIs require phosphorylation, (the process of introducing a phosphate group into an organic molecule), in the host's cells prior to their incorporation into the viral DNA.

Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor. A type of antiretroviral drug designed to block the reverse transcriptase enzyme. [example: Ziagen(tm) (abacavir) ABC
Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor. A nucleoside analog antiretroviral drug whose chemical structure constitutes a modified version of a natural nucleoside. These compounds suppress replication of retroviruses by interfering with the reverse transcriptase enzyme. The nucleoside analogs cause premature termination of the proviral (viral precursor) DNA chain. All NRTIs require phosphorylation in the host's cells prior to their incorporation into the viral DNA. The class of anti-HIV NRTIs includes such drugs as AZT, ddI, ddC, d4T, 3TC, and abacavir.
