Disclosed herein, inter alia, are acyclic nucleotide analogs and methods of using an acyclic nucleotide analog for treating and/or ameliorating a papillomavirus infection. In one embodiment, the invention describes compounds with antiviral activity against a papillomavirus in the absence of a significant antiproliferative host cell effect. Therefore, the invention includes antiviral agents that selectively inhibit and/or block viral DNA synthesis and/or the production of virions of high risk HPV types.
