7-thia-8-oxoguanosine (TOGuo)is the first reported structure of a family of modified guanosine analogues exhibiting antiviral activity in rodentmodels. Its spectrum of action includes interferon-sensitive viruses such as alphaviruses, bunyaviruses,corona viruses, flaviviruses, picornaviruses and, to a lesser extent, herpesviruses. Early treatment before or shortlyafter virus challenge is necessary to protect animals from mortality. The protective effect of TOGuo against SemlikiForest and Punta Toro viruses can be eliminated by co-treatment with antibody to alpha/ beta-interferon.indicating that interferon induction is of prime importance for antiviral activity against these two viruses.Immunological studies indicate that the nucleoside induces alpha-interferon and activates B cells, natural killercells, antibody-dependent cytotoxic cells and macrophages. TOGuo also has adjuvant activity, since its use incombination with a killed Ll210 leukemia cell vaccine greatly reduced the mortality of mice inoculated with liveLl210 leukemia cells compared with the vaccine used alone. Several related guanosine analogues show similarantiviral and immunoenhancing properties, including 7-methyl-8-oxoguanosine, 7-methyl-8-thioxoguanosineand 7-deazaguanosine. These studies indicate that certain modifications at the 7 and 8 positions of guanosinemay confer antiviral and immunostimulatory properties to nucleoside analogues
