Abstract
Electric fields and electrostatic potentials around certain molecules which exhibit varying degrees of anti-HIV (anti-AIDS) activity, namely AZT, CS85, CS87, DDC and two fluorine-substituted analogues of AZT, have been studied. The calculations were performed using net charge distributions obtained by the MNDO method. The results indicate that the presence of a localized electric field region around C5 and an extended electric field region around C3' may be related to the anti-HIV activity.
