Vidarabine (Adenine Arabinoside) is a nucleoside antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces antibioticus. It has some antineoplastic properties and has broad spectrum activity against DNA viruses in cell cultures and significant antiviral activity against infections caused by a variety of viruses such as the herpes viruses, the VACCINIA VIRUS and varicella zoster virus.

N4-Benzoyl-2′-deoxycytidine is a synthetic nucleoside analog of the natural nucleoside deoxycytidine (dC), a competitive inhibitor of DNA polymerase. In vitro studies have shown that it inhibits replication in viruses, bacteria and eukaryotic cells. It has also been shown to inhibit tumor cell growth in animal models.

Funiculosin, a neutral lipophilic antibiotic, demonstrates inhibitory effects against both DNA and RNA viruses, in addition to possessing antifungal properties. It effectively combats infections induced by pathogenic fungi within primary chicken embryo fibroblasts [1].

Ammonium Glycyrrhizinate (Glycyram) inhibits the cytopathology and growth of several unrelated DNA RNA viruses.
