Selective Inhibitors Of Viral Functions

By W. A. Carter Copyright 1975

    I believe there is another good reason for this book. I think it will provide some direction in this growing -- sometimes awkwardly growing � field, because it is a legitimate attempt to synthesize our knowledge on antiviral compounds at several levels of organization, including their modes of action, and their activities both in animal infections and clinical medicine.

Nonpolynucleotide Interferon Inducers 9. Amantadine HCI and Related Compounds 10. Inhibition of Viruses, Tumors, and Pathogenic Microorganisms by Isatin b-Thiosemicarbazone and Other Thiosecarbazones. Arabinosyl Nucleosides and Nucleotides.
