Lamivudine (CAS NO.134678-17-4) was produce by Bernard Belleau while at work at Nghe Nguyen-Ga and McGill University at the Montreal-based IAF BioChem International, Inc. laboratories in 1989. Initially designed as an antiviral agent, the drug's effectiveness for treating HIV in combination with AZT was discovered by Yung-Chi (Tommy) Cheng at Yale University. The drug was later licensed to the British pharmaceutical company Glaxo for a 14 percent royalty.
