Some evidence suggests that the drug's actions are more effective at preventing infections from RNA viruses than infections from DNA viruses.
One of these includes RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RNA replicase), which copies the viral RNA to form a double-stranded replicative form.

Negative-sense viral RNA is complementary to mRNA and thus must be converted to positive-sense RNA by an RNA polymerase before translation.

Catacamas virus is a single-stranded, enveloped novel RNA virus species in the hantavirus genus of the Bunyaviridae family isolated in Oryzomys couesi near the town of Catacamas in eastern Honduras.
Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is a positive-sense single stranded RNA virus that infects plants, especially tobacco and other members of the family Solanaceae.
Hepatitis C (originally "non-A non-B hepatitis") is caused by hepatitis C virus (HCV), an RNA virus that is a member of the Flaviviridae family.
Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) is an RNA virus in the subfamily Oncovirinae belong to family Retroviridae was first described by W. Jarrett (et al., Nature 202:566) at University of Glasgow, School Veterinary Medicine, in 1964.
