Gordon observed that the drug also prevented viral action by blocking the genetic information that viruses must carry into cells in order to reproduce themselves (TIME, April 19). Speculating that the drug's antiviral action might be a useful medical tool, Gordon began to search for a derivative that did not have inosine's unpleasant side effect, a prolonged depression.
