Definition
ChEBI: Ribavirin 5'-monophosphate is a 1-ribosyltriazole that is ribavirin in which the hydroxy group at the 5'-position is replaced by a phosphonooxy group. It is the active metabolite of the antiviral agent ribavirin. It has a role as a human blood serum metabolite, a drug metabolite, an antiviral agent and an EC 1.1.1.205 (IMP dehydrogenase) inhibitor. It is a 1-ribosyltriazole, a ribose monophosphate, an aromatic amide, a monocarboxylic acid amide and a primary carboxamide. It is functionally related to a ribavirin. It is a conjugate acid of a ribavirin 5'-monophosphate(2-).
