Rivularine is a naturally occurring nucleoside analog derived from Rivularia, a genus of freshwater cyanobacteria. It has shown promise in antiviral research, particularly in combating retroviral infections like HIV, by inhibiting viral replication. The mechanism of action of rivularine involves its incorporation into the viral RNA chain during replication, leading to premature chain termination, which halts the viral replication process.
