초록

Inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase(IMPDH) catalyzes the $NAD^+$-dependent oxidation of IMP to XMP, the rate limiting step in the de novo biosynthesis of guanine nucleotide. Its critical role at the metabolic branch point in purine nucleotide biosynthesis makes it a useful target in the development of drugs for antiviral and anticancer chemotherapy and in immunosupressant area. Several compound with antiviral activity have been found to be inhibitors of IMPDH. For example, ribavirin, a competitive inhibitor of IMPDH, has broad spectrum antiviral activities against DNA and RNA viruses. (omitted)
