Antimicrobial and Antibacterial Agents

Antiviral Therapies and Drug Development

Antiviral therapies and drug development play a crucial role in combating viral infections and improving public health. With the constant threat of emerging viral pathogens and the challenges posed by viral outbreaks such as influenza, HIV/AIDS, and COVID-19, the development of effective antiviral treatments is of paramount importance. Antiviral therapies encompass a wide range of strategies, including direct-acting antivirals, immunomodulators, and combination therapies. Advances in drug development have led to the discovery of novel antiviral agents targeting specific viral enzymes, viral entry mechanisms, and viral replication processes.
