Dipeptide derivatives of AZT: Synthesis, chemical stability, activation in human plasma, hPEPT1 affinity, and antiviral activity

5'-O-Dipeptide ester prodrugs of antiviral zidovudine (AZT) were designed to target the human intestinal oligopeptide transporter, hPEPT1, and were evaluated for their stability at pH 74 in buffer and in human plasma, affinity toward hPEPT1, cytotoxicity, and antiretroviral activity. The dipept...
