Description:
(S)-9-(2,3-Dihydroxypropyl)adenine, a novel nucleoside analog, the sugar moiety of which is replaced by an aliphatic chain, inhibits the replication in vitro of several DNA and RNA viruses, including vaccinia, herpes simplex (types 1 and 2), measles, and vesicular stomatitis. It is also effective in vivo in reducing the mortality rate of mice inoculated intranasally with vesicular stomatitis virus.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉De Clercq, E -- Descamps, J -- De Somer, P -- Holy, A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1978 May 5;200(4341):UNKNOWN.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/205946" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
