Abstract

Novel 2-amino substituted adenine compounds and their use as antiviral compounds are disclosed. In particular the compound 2-amino-9-(2-hydroxyethoxymethyl) adenine is particularly advantageous as an antiviral in that it has high oral absorption and that upon metabolism in mammals, it has the property of being converted to 9-(2-hydroxyethoxymethyl) guanine which is also a highly active antiviral.
