The new domestic antiretroviral drug 6HP, which is ammonium-3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine-5'-carbomoylphosphonate, shows a high level of anti-HIV activity in cultures of lymphoblastoid cells. In a organism, the 6HP is converted to azidothymidine, and the its pharmacokinetic parameters indicate a prolonged nature of action of this compound in vivo. It is an important indicator that allows to formulate optimal therapeutic regimens during clinical application of 6HP. The complex of its antiviral properties and the results of its exhaustive preclinica study, as well as the results of studying its safety and tolerability in adult HIV-infected patients, including important first data of its use as a specific therapeutic antiHIV / AIDS drug, certainly indicate on its prospects and its usefulness in clinical use in patients with HIV infection, including as part of combination antiretroviral therapy.
