  3. Enfuvirtide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enfuvirtide

    Enfuvirtide works by disrupting the HIV-1 molecular machinery at the final stage of fusion with the target cell, preventing uninfected cells from becoming infected.A biomimetic peptide, enfuvirtide was designed to mimic components of the HIV-1 fusion machinery and displace them, preventing normal fusion.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiviral_drug

    Antiviral drugs are a class of antimicrobials, a larger group which also includes antibiotic (also termed antibacterial), antifungal and antiparasitic drugs, [3] or antiviral drugs based on monoclonal antibodies. [4] Most antivirals are considered relatively harmless to the host, and therefore can be used to treat infections.

  5. Ensitrelvir - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ensitrelvir

    Ensitrelvir is being studied for its potential use as post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) after SARS-CoV-2 exposure. [19] [20] The SCORPIO-PEP trial is a global Phase 3 trial that will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the drug in preventing symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection in household contacts of people who tested positive for COVID-19.

  6. MK-7845 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MK-7845

    The unique cleavage site recognized by 3CL pro features a glutamine residue at the P1 position that is not utilized by human proteases, making it an attractive target for drug development. Unlike other covalent inhibitors that typically utilize an amide group as a glutamine mimic at this position, MK-7845 incorporates a difluorobutyl substituent.

  7. Letermovir - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letermovir

    Letermovir (INN; brand name Prevymis) is an antiviral drug for the treatment of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections. It has been tested in CMV infected patients with allogeneic stem cell transplants and may also be useful for other patients with a compromised immune system such as those with organ transplants or HIV infections. [3]

  8. Host-directed therapeutics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Host-directed_therapeutics

    [1] [2] [3] Several antiviral agents are host-directed therapeutics, and simply slow the virus progression rather than kill the virus. Host-directed therapeutics may limit pathogen proliferation, e.g., have bacteriostatic effects. Certain agents also have the ability to reduce bacterial load by enhancing host cell responses even in the absence ...

  9. Ribavirin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribavirin

    Ribavirin is the only known treatment for a variety of viral hemorrhagic fevers, including Lassa fever, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, Venezuelan hemorrhagic fever, and Hantavirus infection, although data regarding these infections are scarce and the drug might be effective only in early stages.
