Introduction
Lamivudine
(LAM) is an analogue of cytidine. It can inhibit both types HIV-1 and HIV-2 reverse transcriptase and also the reverse transcriptase of hepatitis B virus. It is phosphorylated to active metabolites that compete for incorporation into viral DNA. They inhibit the HIV reverse transcriptase enzyme competitively and act as a chain terminator of DNA synthesis 1. The lack of a 3'-OH group in the incorporated nucleoside analogue prevents the formation of the 5' to 3' phosphodiester linkage essential for DNA chain elongation, and therefore, the viral DNA growth is terminated 2.
As such, in this literature review, we will introduce most of up-to-date reported methods that have been developed for determination of LAM in its pure form, combined form with other drugs, combined form with degradation products, and in biological samples.
