 Ribavirin is broad-spectrum antiviral nucleoside active against HIV, RSV, HCV, and adenovirus.  It functions as a precursor to diphosphates and triphosphates, which inhibit viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerases.  Ribavirin is an inhibitor of purine biosynthesis.  Additionally, a metabolite of ribavirin, ribavirin 5’-phosphate, is an inhibitor of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase.
