Nucleoside vs Delavirdine - What's the difference?

nucleoside | delavirdine |

As nouns the difference between nucleoside and delavirdine

is that nucleoside is an organic molecule in which a nitrogenous heterocyclic base (or nucleobase), which can be either a double-ringed purine or a single-ringed pyrimidine, is covalently attached to a five-carbon pentose sugar (deoxyribose in DNA or ribose in RNA). When the phosphate group is covalently attached to the pentose sugar, it forms a nucleotide while delavirdine is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor used to treat HIV.
