Ribavirin Induces Polyamine Depletion via Nucleotide Depletion to Limit Virus Replication

Summary: Common antivirals include nucleoside or nucleotide analogs with base prodrugs. The antiviral ribavirin, a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved nucleoside antimetabolite, halts guanine production, mutagenizes viral genomes, and activates interferon signaling. Here, we find that rib...
