Description

9-(β-D-Xylofuranosyl)adenine is a nucleoside analog that inhibits the activity of adenine nucleotide. It has been shown to be effective against a wide range of viruses and bacteria, including HIV, herpes simplex virus, influenza A virus, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The chemical structure of 9-(β-D-Xylofuranosyl)adenine resembles that of adenosine and this similarity confers inhibitory properties on it. 9-(β-D-Xylofuranosyl)adenine is an analog of adenosine. The steric interactions between the intramolecular hydrogen bonds in 9-(β-D-Xylofuranosyl)adenine are weaker than those in adenosine, which allows it to bind more easily with the enzyme responsible for the conversion of adenosine to inosinic acid. This inhibition prevents the formation of ATP from AMP, leading
