Comment: Azvudine is a nucleoside analogue that was first identified as an inhibitor of the HIV-1 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) [4]. It has more recently been reported to inhibit RdRp from the SARS-CoV-2 betacoronavirus [5]. The active triphosphate metabolite concentrates in the thymus and peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and oral treatment induces curative mechanisms in preclinical models.
