Abstract

While cidofovir, adefovir and tenofovir are the three acyclic nucleoside phosphonates (ANPs) that have been licensed for clinical use (the latter as a single-, double- and triple-drug combination), there are many more ANPs that await their application for medical or veterinary use: (S)-HPMPA, (S)-HPMPDAP, cPrPMEDAP, (R)-HPMPO-DAPy, PMEO-DAPy, 5-X-PMEO-DAPy, (R)-PMPO-DAPy, (S)-HPMP-5-azaC, and cyclic (S)-HPMP-5-azaC, and alkoxyalkyl prodrugs thereof.

Keywords: ANPs; (S)-HPMPA; Cidofovir; Adefovir; Tenofovir; Phosphonate; Veterinary; Prophylactic; Nucleotides; Nucleosides; Viruses.
