Antiviral Treatment: Primarily used as a treatment option for certain viral infections, particularly in the context of influenza, where traditional antivirals may be less effective or unavailable.
Emergency Use Authorization (EUA): In various countries, it has been granted EUA for compassionate use or clinical trials in treating patients with severe viral infections, pending full approval.
Research Purposes: Widely studied in clinical trials and research settings to assess its efficacy, safety, and potential use in treating or preventing other viral diseases.
Pandemic Preparedness: Stockpiled by governments and healthcare organizations as part of pandemic preparedness strategies, given its broad-spectrum antiviral activity.
Inhibits Viral Replication: By targeting the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) enzyme, favipiravir interferes with the viral replication process, thereby limiting the spread of the virus within the host.
Broad-Spectrum Activity: Demonstrates antiviral activity against a wide range of RNA viruses, including influenza, Ebola, and, notably.
Mutagenic Effect: Its mechanism of action involves inducing mutations in the viral genome, leading to a decrease in the production of functional viral particles and eventual clearance of the infection.
Immune Modulation (Potential): Though not its primary function, some studies suggest that favipiravir may also have immunomodulatory effects, potentially enhancing the host's immune response against the virus.
