<p>Etravirine is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) medication used in the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections. It works by blocking reverse transcriptase, an enzyme essential for replication of the virus, thereby preventing the virus from multiplying and spreading. Etravirine is often used in combination with other antiretroviral drugs to effectively treat HIV/AIDS. It is commonly prescribed for patients with virus strains that are resistant to other NNRTI medications due to mutations that confer resistance- mutations K103N and Y181C. Etravirine is a diarylpyrimidine (DAPY) and has conformational isomerism meaning that it binds reverse transcriptase in an fleible manner, under multiple conformations. The impact of specific point mutations in the virus is therefore lessened.</p>

<p>Galidesivir dihydrochloride is an investigational antiviral drug, which is a synthetic nucleoside analogue with broad-spectrum activity. It is derived from a modified adenosine analog structure, targeting viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerases. Galidesivir functions through the incorporation into viral RNA, leading to premature termination of RNA synthesis, effectively inhibiting viral replication. This mechanism aligns with its utility in combating various RNA viruses.</p>

<p>Emtricitabine is a nucleoside analog that is an antiviral drug used to treat HIV/AIDS. It is a synthetic nucleoside analog of cytidine, in which the 3' phosphate and 5' hydroxyl groups have been replaced with a fluorine atom and a methoxy group, respectively. Emtricitabine has been shown to inhibit the synthesis of viral DNA by competing for incorporation into the viral DNA strand during the elongation phase of viral replication. Emtricitabine also has anticancer activity, but no other known therapeutic uses.</p>

<p>Cytarabine is also known as cytosine arabinoside (ara-C) and is a chemotherapy drug that works by inhibiting DNA synthesis. It acts as a nucleoside analogue, which is incorporated into the growing DNA chain during replication. Cytarabine combines a cytosine base with an arabinose sugar (1β-arabinofuranosylcytosine) and is an analog for human deoxycytosine. Cytarabine interferes with DNA synthesis as it is rapidly converted to cytosine arabinoside triphosphate, damaging DNA when cells are in the synthesis phase (S phase). Tumor cells which are highly mitotic and growing rapidly are therefore preferably targeted. Cytarabine also inhibits nucleotide reductase enzymes as well as nuclear polymerases, leading to interruption and inhibition of synthesis, strand breaks and cell death.</p>

It also has been shown to be effective against chronic hepatitis C virus infection with or without cirrhosis.</p>

<p>GS 5734, also known as remdesivir is a nucleoside prodrug with broad spectrum antiviral activity against RNA viruses. As remdesivir / GS 5734 is a prodrug, it requires to be triphosphorylated by cellular kinases in order to compete with ATP for incorporation in newly replicated viral RNA. A major benefit of remdesivir in comparison with other antiviral nucleoside analogs is its resistance to proofreading exonucleases, which occur in coronaviruses. This means remdesivir can overcome the repair mechanism and preserve its antiviral activity. Remdesivir was reported to have a therapeutic as well as prophylactic efficacy in a mouse model infected with SARS-CoV-1.</p>
