Benzamide, 4-(1,6-dihydro-6-oxo-5-pyrimidinyl)-

4-(6-Oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidin-5-yl)benzamide is a building block related to Favipiravir(F103350). Favipiravir is used for the treatment of advanced Ebola virus infection in a small animal model. Favipiravir suppressed the replication of Zaire Ebola virus and prevented a lethal outcome in 100% of the animals. Based on the studies, Favipiravir can be a candidate for the treatment of Ebola hemorrhagic fever.
