Mode of Action

The mechanism of action of favipiravir is novel compared to existing influenza antivirals that primarily prevent entry and exit of the virus from cells. The active favipiravir-RTP selectively inhibits RNA polymerase and prevents replication of the viral genome. There are several hypotheses as to how favipiravir-RTP interacts with RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). Some studies have shown that when favipiravir-RTP is incorporated into a nascent RNA strand, it prevents RNA strand elongation and viral proliferation. Studies have also found that the presence of purine analogs can reduce favipiravir?s antiviral activity, suggesting competition between favipiravir-RTP and purine nucleosides for RdRp binding.

Interaction

This drug is only approved as an experimental drug and still a lot of studies is needed about it's efficacy and also toxic reactions and drug interactions.

Pregnancy Category Note

It needs to be used with great care and under tight controls because of a serious side effect that could cause fetal abnormalities if a pregnant woman took the drug.
