Virustatic antimetabolites

Virustatic antimetabolites are false DNA building blocks (B) or nucleosides. A nucleoside (e.g., thymidine) consists of a nucleobase (e.g., thymine) and the sugar deoxyribose. In antimetabolites, one of the components is defective. In the body, the abnormal nucleosides undergo bioactivation by attachment of three phosphate residues (p.287). [Pg.284]
