and (d) certain amino acids. The anti-HIV-1 activity of the esters was determined in peripheral blood lymphocytes. The IC50 for AZT in this system was 0.12 microM whereas for prodrugs it ranged from 0.05 to 0.2 microM. The prodrugs were generally less cytotoxic than AZT except the retinoic acid ester. In vitro hydrolysis of the various esters in human plasma indicated that these agents were relatively
