Detailed explanation-1: -An antiviral is a substance that fights against viruses and inhibits their growth. A doctor may prescribe antiviral medications to help treat a viral infection, and people can use antiviral products to prevent the growth and spread of viruses. Any substance that slows the replication of viruses is an antiviral.
Detailed explanation-2: -Action mechanism of antiviral drugs consists of its transformation to triphosphate following the viral DNA synthesis inhibition.
Detailed explanation-3: -The broad-spectrum antiviral agent ribavirin affects viral nucleic acid replication by multiple mechanisms. Another major enzyme encoded by many viruses is a protease responsible for the processing of virus-encoded polyproteins.
Detailed explanation-4: -Interferon was named for its ability to interfere with viral proliferation. The various forms of interferon are the body’s most rapidly produced and important defense against viruses.
