Probably the most ambiguous group is the one second from the right. Based on the bond patterns alone, it would be consistent with an amidine, which is probably the possibility most likely to occur in real compounds. However, ''N''′-monosubstituted amidines seem pretty rare based on a cursory search, and most likely tautomerize quickly into ''N''-monosubstituted amidines. I don't have any other idea of what it could be, though. | Probably the most ambiguous group is the one second from the right.

− | I strongly suspect that the furanose is <small>D</small>-ribofuranose. The leftmost three groups can be seen as a modification of [[wikipedia:Adenosine|adenosine]], which is one of the nucleosides found in DNA. In addition, '''the majority of this molecule exactly matches the antiviral drug [[wikipedia:Taribavirin|taribavirin]]''', which is used against hepatitis C and influenza. In fact, the drug may very well have been the inspiration for this molecule | + | I strongly suspect that the furanose is <small>D</small>-ribofuranose.

Assuming this interpretation of the molecule's structure is correct, its preferred IUPAC name (PIN) is "[(amino{1-[(2''R'',3''S'',4''R'',6''R'')-4-hydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)-3-propoxyoxolan-2-yl]-1''H''-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl}methylidene)amino]acetic acid".
