Vidarabine (adenine arabinoside, Ara-A) is a purine nucleoside analog that is phosphorylated intracellularly to vidarabine triphosphate, which inhibits viral DNA polymerases and DNA primase, blocking viral DNA replication with selectivity for herpes viruses. It was used topically for herpes simplex keratitis and systemically for herpes encephalitis and neonatal herpes, but has largely been replaced by acyclovir due to the latter's improved safety and efficacy profile. Its antiviral mechanism targeting viral DNA polymerase established the template for subsequent nucleoside analog antivirals.
