Targeted antiviral therapy is difficult because viruses are Medications that target the host cell organelles may kill the virus
drugs which target the viral replication without damaging the host. The target of antiviral drugs depends on the type of virus involved; each antiviral
Antiviral drugs are a class of medicines mainly used to treat viral infections. Antiviral drugs target many viruses, such as influenza
When a flu virus develops changes to the site that antiviral drugs target, that virus may show reduced or no susceptibility to that antiviral
Antiviral drug treatment and development of more potent selective inhibitors targeting specific human proteases for the spike glycoprotein may be warranted; however, off-target activity with
antibiotics, antiviral drugs do not destroy their target pathogen Antiviral Drugs (Part-03) Acyclovir Mechanism of Action
Antiviral drugs are a class of medication used for treating viral infections. Most antivirals target specific viruses, while a broad-spectrum antiviral
In concordance to it, a combination of virus-targeted and host-targeted antiviral drug combination can also be tested for synergistic effects, if any. Besides virus-targeting antiviral drugs acting against viral specific proteins, host-based antiviral drugs will have the potential to be broad-spectrum as well.
Understandings: Viruses lack a cell structure and so are more difficult to target with drugs than bacteria. Antiviral drugs may work by
