5-Iodo-4-methoxypyrimidine is a potential antiviral drug that has been shown to inhibit the replication of both human and avian viruses. This compound inhibits the enzymes involved in nucleoside synthesis, including RNA polymerase and DNA polymerase, by binding to them. 5-Iodo-4-methoxypyrimidine also binds to the conformation of the virus and prevents its replication. This compound may be effective against ebola virus, MERS-CoV, and SARS coronavirus.
