About NAs

• Nucleoside analogs are a class of compounds structurally similar to natural nucleosides, obtained by modifying the sugar or base components of the nucleoside. Due to their ability to effectively interfere with DNA or RNA synthesis, nucleoside analogs hold significant importance in drug development, particularly in antiviral and anticancer therapies. These compounds can be incorporated into the growing nucleic acid chain, thereby disrupting the replication process and inhibiting the proliferation of pathogens or cancer cells. By introducing various chemical modifications to the nucleoside structure, it is possible to design compounds with specific functionalities or enhanced potency.Learn more
