R. Storer et al., The synthesis and antiviral activity of 4-fluoro-1-beta-D-ribofuranosyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxamide, NUCLEOS NUC, 18(2), 1999, pp. 203-216
A novel fluoropyrazole ribonucleoside has been shown to have significant an
tiinfluenza activity in vitro. The compound is compared and contrasted with
the structurally-related compound ribavirin in attempts to identify factor
s having significant bearing on the mode of action of both compounds.
