Both 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine (AZT) and 2',3'-dideoxynosine (ddl) strongly inhibit the replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Here, it is shown that combination of AZT and ddl at concentrations that are readily achievable in vivo synergistically inhibit HIV-1 replication in C8166 cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The synergism is significant even when the effect of AZT and ddl alone was negligible. Our findings show that AZT-resistance is less likely to occur when a combination of AZT and ddl is used. Particularly, generation of AZT-resistant strains by in vitro selection is prevented, or delayed, by the combination of AZT plus ddl. Taken together these observations provide a rationale for combination of AZT and ddl in the therapy of AIDS patients.
