micro 4- Antiviral drugs Flashcards
1
Q
entry and fusion inhibitors

- block fusion of the virus and cell
2
Q
uncoating, genome integration, and nucleic acid synthesis inhibitors
A
- prevent viral uncoating
- inhibit viral DNA integration into the host genome
- nucleoside analogs inhibit RNA or DNA synthesis
3
Q
what causes interference with assembly and release of viral particles ?
A
protease inhibitors
block the cleavage of protein precursors
4
Q
