Vidarabine

Vidarabine is an analog of the nucleoside adenosine that has antiviral properties. It acts as a prodrug that, once phosphorylated by cellular enzymes, acts as both substrate and inhibitor of DNA polymerase. Vidarabine is particularly effective against H. simplex and V. zoster viruses.Formal Name: 9-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl-9H-purin-6-amine. CAS Number: 5536-17-4.
