Antiviral nucleoside analogues

Patent Pending Nucleoside analogues are molecules that act like nucleosides in DNA or RNA replication. They include a range of antiviral products used to prevent viral replication in infected cells. The most commonly used is Acyclovir, although its inclusion in this category is uncertain, because it acts as a nucleoside but contains no actual sugar, as the sugar ring is replaced by an open-chain structure.
