Four sulphur-containing purine nucleoside analogues: 6MP, 6-thioinosine, 6-
methylthioinosine and 6-ethylthioinosine, were examined for antiviral activity against some
RNA viruses. All compounds extensively inhibited the replication of influenza viruses but
had no inhibitory effect on other RNA viruses: Sendai, RS, vesicular stomatitis and western
equine encephalitis viruses.
