Vidarabine

A nucleoside analogue antiviral (ara-A) synthesised in 1960 in Bernard Randall Baker's laboratory at the Stanford Research Institute as a potential anticancer drug: it was the first medicine licensed for systemic herpes virus infections in humans and has also been used as an eye ointment. This family brings together the active ingredient.

Did you know?The idea came from the sea: in the 1950s nucleosides containing the sugar arabinose were isolated from a Caribbean sponge, Tethya crypta; in 1972 vidarabine was also found in nature, in the bacterium Streptomyces antibioticus.
