According to a study from the United States, "Thymidine analogs, including 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine (AZT) and 2',3'-dideoxy-3'-deoxythymidine (D4T), are important antiretroviral agents. To exert antiretroviral activity, these analogs undergo a stepwise phosphorylation intracellularly to the active triphosphate metabolites."
