Oral administration of 2'-deoxy-3'-oxa-4'-thiocytidine (BCH-10652),
a nucleoside analog structurally similar to lamivudine (3TC), caused
dose-dependent inhibition of viral replication in SCID-hu Thy/Liv mice
infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 NL4-3 and with an
NL4-3 clone containing the M184V mutation in reverse transcriptase that
confers resistance to 3TC. These experiments demonstrate the utility of
this mouse model for evaluating drug resistance and for performing
direct comparisons between antiviral compounds in vivo.
