Molnupiravir is an antiviral medication that has gained attention for its potential use in treating COVID-19 and other viral infections.
Molnupiravir is a prodrug, which means it is metabolized in the body into its active form. The active form of Molnupiravir works by inhibiting the replication of RNA viruses. It does this by causing mutations in the viral genetic material, which can lead to errors during viral replication and ultimately reduce the ability of the virus to reproduce.
Molnupiravir was originally developed as a potential treatment for influenza. However, its broad-spectrum antiviral activity has led to investigations into its effectiveness against other RNA viruses, including coronaviruses.
