Abstract Background Most in vitro assays of drug potency may not adequately predict the performance in vivo. Methods to assess the persistence of antiviral activity of deoxynucleoside analogs which require intracellular activation to the active metabolites that can persist in cells will be important for designing dosages combination regimens and assessing treatment compliance. Using an HIV-IIIB TZM-bl indicator cell culture system we assessed the ability of an inhibitor to protect cells from infection and to delay viral rebound after removal of inhibitor from culture. Results The order of protection of cells from HIV-infection was 4 -Ed4T LFD4C DDI D4T 3TC AZT FTC NVP. The fold-increase in EC50 to delay viral rebound was DDI 4 -Ed4T LFD4C FTC D4T 3TC NVP AZT. The ranking of persistence of anti-HIV activity of the .
