Ribavirin 5′-monophosphate inhibits viral DNA and RNA replication in vitro via the strong competitive inhibition of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH), with a reported Ki value of 270 nM, and thus inhibits guanosine triphosphate synthesis.{34338,34337,29247} This agent, a metabolite of the prodrug ribavirin (Item No. 16757), exhibits broad-spectrum antiviral activity, particularly against myxoviruses.{34337,29247} The antiviral effects of ribavirin require conversion to the monophosphate form via adenosine kinase.{34338,29247} The anti-HIV activity of ribavirin in cultured human lymphocytes, as well as the anti-influenza activity of this prodrug in MDCK cells, have been attributed to ribavirin 5′-monophosphate.{34335,34336}
