rac-Carbovir

A carbocyclic nucleoside analogue of guanosine, with a ring made only of carbon atoms in place of the sugar ring, developed in the 1980s at the University of Minnesota by Robert Vince's group: it is active against HIV and underlies abacavir, which the body converts into carbovir triphosphate. This family brings together the active ingredient and nitrosamines.

Did you know?Sales of abacavir, born from the carbovir family, have earned the University of Minnesota over 600 million US dollars in royalties.
