Study Notes

Antiviral Drug Mechanisms

Reverse transcriptase inhibitors directly target viral enzymes responsible for converting viral RNA into DNA.

Challenges in Viral Chemotherapy

It is difficult to develop viral chemotherapy without affecting host cells because viral enzymes and host cell enzymes are similar, making it hard to target one without the other.

Viral Replication

Retroviruses replicate in the cytoplasm using reverse transcriptase.

Antiviral Drug Categories

M2 inhibitors and neuraminidase inhibitors are categories of antiviral drugs that inhibit the function of M2 proteins and neuraminidase in viruses.

Discovery of Viral Chemotherapy

The main challenge in discovering viral chemotherapy is the high similarity between viral enzymes and host cell enzymes, making it difficult to target one without the other.
