About Lamivudine.

Lamivudine is a specific antiretroviral active pharmaceutical ingredient rather than an independent therapeutic drug class; it belongs to the class of nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs).

As a synthetic cytosine analogue, it is phosphorylated intracellularly to its active 5'-triphosphate form, which competitively inhibits viral reverse transcriptase and hepatitis B virus DNA polymerase, causing viral DNA chain termination.

Therapeutically, it is used in combination regimens to manage human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection and as a single agent or component of therapy for chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.
