Treating HCV with ribavirin analogues and ribavirin-like molecules.
Nucleos(t)ide analogues have proven useful in the treatment of viral infections. Ribavirin is a nucleoside, guanosine analogue, whose mechanisms of action include inhibition of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH), which is the key step in de novo guanine synthesis, a requirement for viral replication. In combination with pegylated interferon alfa, ribavirin is the standard of care for t...

متن کاملRibavirin aerosol for acute bronchiolitis.
A randomised double blind placebo controlled trial of treatment with an aerosolised antiviral agent, ribavirin, was conducted in 26 infants with clinically diagnosed bronchiolitis. Nebulised ribavirin (14 infants) or normal saline aerosol (12 infants) was given for 18 hours a day for at least three days. Respiratory syncytial virus was identified in nasal secretions from 20 cases (10 from both ...
متن کاملRibavirin aerosol in the elderly.
Ribavirin aerosol is effective in treating respiratory syncytial virus and influenzal infections in children and young adults. It has not been studied in elderly patients. We evaluated the safety of ribavirin aerosol in eight elderly volunteers at high risk for influenza. Their mean age was 64 years; seven subjects had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Subjects received ribavirin ae...
متن کاملStructural analysis of the activation of ribavirin analogs by NDP kinase: comparison with other ribavirin targets.
Ribavirin used in therapies against hepatitis C virus (HCV) is potentially efficient against other viruses but presents a high cytotoxicity. Several ribavirin triphosphate analogs modified on the ribose moiety were synthesized and tested in vitro on the RNA polymerases of HCV, phage T7, and HIV-1 reverse transcriptase. Modified nucleotides with 2'-deoxy, 3'-deoxy, 2',3'-dideoxy, 2',3'-dideoxy-2...
