Shown are polarized crystals photographed through the microscope of the drug 2'3'-dideoxyadenosine, ddA, a drug that is closely related to AZT, azidothymidine. The antiviral effect of ddA against HIV was discovered at the National Cancer Institute, when trying to find a drug to treat patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

AZT in bottles is used intravenously in treating patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, AIDS. Azidothymidine is an antiviral drug which floods the cell with false DNA building blocks so that the virus cannot make copies of itself. When this happens, viral infection and replication is stopped.
