Azaribine (triacetyl-6-azauridine) is a drug which was developed for the treatment of psoriasis, [1] and also has anti-cancer and antiviral actions. [2] [3] It is a prodrug which is metabolised to the nucleoside analogue 6-azauridine in the body. Azaribine was approved for clinical use in treatment of psoriasis, [4] but subsequently withdrawn because of toxicity issues. [5] [6] [ when? ] However, it continues to be researched as a potential agent for the treatment of emerging viral diseases. [7]
