Azidothymidine (AZT), a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, possesses anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic activity independent of its ability to inhibit reverse transcriptase. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of 5'-glucuronyl azidothymidine (GAZT), an antiretrovirally inert hepatic clinical metabolite of AZT, in mouse models of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) degeneration and choroidal neovascularization (CNV), hallmark features of dry and wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD), respectively.
