Stavudine, is belongs to nucleoside analogue of thymidine, and by cellular kinases to the active metabolite is phosphorylated to Stavudine triphosphate. Stavudine triphosphate prohibits the activity of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) by battle with the natural substrate thymidine triphosphate (Ki=0.0083 to 0.032 μM) and by resulting DNA chain termination following its fusion into viral DNA. Stavudine triphosphate prohibits cellular DNA polymerases β and γ and markedly decreases the coalescence of mitochondrial DNA.
