Front Cover . A new C‐nucleoside with strongly pairing ethynylmethylpyridone base and 3'‐azido‐2',3'‐dideoxyribose sugar dubbed 'AZW' was described. The image shows the structure of AZW against a backdrop of AZT in dotted cloud representation. The new nucleoside shows inhibitory activity against Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) as reported by Richert et al . in their full paper at 10.1002/cbdv.202000937.
