nitd008 nitd008 nitd008 is an antiviral drug classified as an adenosine analog (a type of nucleoside analog). it was developed as a potential treatment for flavivirus infections and shows broad spectrum antiviral activity against many related viruses such as dengue virus, west nile virus, yellow fever virus, powassan virus, hepatitis c virus, kyasanur forest disease virus, omsk hemorrhagic fever virus, and zika virus. however, nitd008 proved too toxic in pre-clinical animal testing to be suitable for human trials, but it continues to be used in research to find improved treatments for emerging viral diseases. nitd008clinical datatrade namesnitd008identifiers iupac name (2r,3r,4r,5r)-2-(4-amino-7h-pyrrolopyrimidin-7-yl)-3-ethynyl-5-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-3,4-diol cas number1044589-82-3 ypubchem cid44633776chemspider26376187uniilki7t3wq2echemblchembl1630221chemical and physical dataformulac13h14n4o4molar mass290.279 g·mol−13d model (jsmol)interactive image smiles c#c1(((o1n2c=cc3=c2n=cn=c3n)co)o)o inchi inchi=1s/c13h14n4o4/c1-2-13(20)9(19)8(5-18)21-12(13)17-4-3-7-10(14)15-6-16-11(7)17/h1,3-4,6,8-9,12,18-20h,5h2,(h2,14,15,16)/t8-,9-,12-,13-/m1/s1key:nkraioqpsbrmov-nrmkkvevsa-n
