Antiviral agents are medications designed to treat viral infections by inhibiting the development and replication of viruses. Unlike antibiotics, which target bacteria, antivirals are specifically tailored to combat viruses. They can be classified into several categories based on their mechanism of action :
Antiviral agents exhibit various biological properties, including their ability to inhibit viral replication, modulate immune responses, and interact with viral proteins . Their expression patterns and tissue distribution can vary depending on the specific antiviral and the target virus. For instance, some antivirals are designed to be active in respiratory tissues to combat respiratory viruses, while others may target liver tissues for hepatitis viruses.
The primary biological functions of antiviral agents include:
Antiviral agents operate through several mechanisms :
The expression and activity of antiviral agents are regulated through various mechanisms :
Antiviral agents have numerous applications in biomedical research, diagnostics, and therapeutics :
