Description
This book explores the nature, structure, classification, and transmission of viruses, examining their impact on humans, animals, and plants through various diseases and ecological effects. It details how viral infections operate at the cellular level and reviews current methods of control, including vaccination, vector eradication, and chemotherapy. The core of the text focuses on antiviral agents, particularly commercial nucleosides composed of heterocyclic and sugar moieties. Emphasizing the quantitative differences between viral and host cell physiology, the study investigates the mechanisms of base analogues and other chemical agents in inhibiting viral nucleic acid metabolism. Finally, the book undertakes a systematic search for novel antiviral nucleosides designed with distinct combinations of heterocyclic and sugar components. By evaluating their antiviral activity, the work aims to clarify structure-activity relationships and discover practical therapeutic compounds for combating viral infections.
