Adenosine arabinose (ara-A) is a nucleoside analog that has antiviral activity. It is a synthetic derivative of adenosine, with an arabinose sugar moiety in place of the ribose sugar. Ara-A is a potent inhibitor of DNA polymerase, which is the enzyme that replicates DNA. This makes it effective against viruses that rely on DNA replication, such as herpes simplex virus (HSV) and varicella-zoster virus (VZV). Ara-A was first synthesized in the 1960s and has been used clinically to treat viral infections since the 1970s. Ara-A is typically administered intravenously, but it is also available as an ointment for topical application. Ara-A is well-tolerated, but it can cause some side effects, including nausea, vomiting, and bone marrow suppression. It is important to note that ara-A is not effective against all viruses, and resistance can develop. The study of ara-A and other antiviral drugs is ongoing to identify more effective treatments for viral infections.'
