The present invention provides methods of inhibiting orthopoxvirus replication and/or treating orthopoxvirus infection with certain nucleoside compounds and derivatives thereof. These compounds are particularly useful as inhibitors of vaccinia virus and variola virus replication and/or for the treatment of vaccinia virus and variola virus infection. The nucleoside compounds may be administered alone or in combination with other agents active against orthopoxvirus infection, in particular against vaccinia virus or variola virus infection. Another aspect of the present invention provides for the use of such nucleoside compounds in the manufacture of a medicament for the inhibition of orthopoxvirus replication and/or for the treatment of orthopoxvirus infection. Yet a further aspect of the present invention provides such nucleoside compounds for use as a medicament for the inhibition of orthopoxvirus replication and/or for the treatment of orthopoxvirus infection.
本发明提供了使用某些核苷类化合物及其衍
生物来抑制正痘病毒复制和/或治疗正痘病毒感染的方法。这些化合物特别适用于抑制天花病毒和痘病毒的复制和/或治疗天花病毒和痘病毒感染。这些核苷类化合物可以单独或与其他对抗正痘病毒感染的药物联合使用,特别是对抗天花病毒或痘病毒感染的药物。本发明的另一方面提供了将这些核苷类化合物用于制造用于抑制正痘病毒复制和/或治疗正痘病毒感染的药物。本发明的另一个方面提供了这些核苷类化合物作为用于抑制正痘病毒复制和/或治疗正痘病毒感染的药物。
