Didanosine is an antiviral nucleoside analog and an inhibitor of reverse transcriptase.{38655} It undergoes cellular amination and phosphorylation to its active triphosphate form, 2′,3′-dideoxyadenosine 5′-triphosphate (ddATP; Item No. 17460). Didanosine inhibits human T cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) reverse transcriptase activity (IC50 = 30 nM).{60704} It inhibits the replication of HIV-1 clinical isolates containing various mutations in the gene encoding reverse transcriptase, pol, in isolated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs; IC50s = 0.3-11.1 ?M).{38656} Didanosine inhibits proliferation and differentiation of primary human skeletal muscle cells (IC50s = 1 and 0.1 mM, respectively), as well as decreases the activities of mitochondrial complex IV, also known as cytochrome c oxidase, and mitochondrial complex II, also known as succinate dehydrogenase, in the same cells when used at a concentration of 1 mM.{38657} In vivo, didanosine protects mice from HIV infection (EC50 = 13.7 mg/kg).{38658} Formulations containing didanosine have been used in the treatment of HIV-1 infections.
