Incubation of 3-[2-benzoxazol-2-yl)ethyl]-5-ethyl-6-methyl-2-(1H)-pyridinone ##STR1## with a preparation from mammalian organ yields as biotransformation product the 6-hydroxymethyl analog. This product is useful in the prevention or treatment of infection by HIV and the treatment of AIDS.
Novel aminopyridones inhibit HIV reverse transcriptase, and are useful in the prevention or treatment of infection by HIV and the treatment of AIDS, either as compounds, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, pharmaceutical composition ingredients, whether or not in combination with other antivirals, anti-infectives, immunomodulators, antibiotics or vaccines. Methods of treating AIDS and methods of preventing or treating infection by HIV are also described.
