Eye disease due to herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a leading cause of ocular morbidity and the number one infectious cause of unilateral corneal blindness in the developed parts of the globe. Recurrent keratitis can result in progressive corneal...

Synthesis and antiviral effect of phosphamide modified vidarabine for treating HSV 1 infections.

Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters

Wang Z, Zang R, Niu Z, Wang W, Wang X, Tang Y.
PMID: 34624489
