Abstract excerpt
Nucleoside analogs are widely used in the treatment of cancer and viral-induced diseases. Efficacy of treatments relies upon a variety of events, including transport across tissue and target barriers, which determine drug pharmacokinetics and target cell bioavailability. To exert their action, nucleosides have to be chemically modified, thus compromising cellular uptake by those routes which are responsible for...
