	Antiviral activity research
	 
	Studies have shown that in addition to influenza virus, Favipiravir also exhibits good antiviral activity against a variety of RNA viruses, such as Ebola virus, arena virus, bunia virus, rabies virus and so on. 
	The latest research shows that Favipiravir has a certain inhibitory effect on the new type of coronavirus pneumonia.
	 
	Mechanism of action
	 
	Favipiravir is a nucleoside antiviral drug, and the mechanism of action has not been fully elucidated. 
	Its target is viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. 
	After the drug is absorbed orally, it is converted into the biologically active nucleoside triphosphate of favipiravir, which is similar in structure to purine and can compete with the purine for viral RNA polymerase; the nucleoside triphosphate of favipiravir can also be inserted into 
	The viral RNA chain induces fatal mutations in the virus. 
	Therefore, in terms of mechanism, Favipiravir has potential antiviral effects on various RNA viruses.
	 
	application
	 
	Favipiravir can be used for antiviral treatment of influenza A and B. 
	Studies have shown that in addition to influenza virus, the drug also exhibits good antiviral activity against a variety of RNA viruses, such as Ebola virus, arena virus, Bunia virus, and rabies virus.
	 
	Related research
	 
	Favipiravir (favipiravir), chemically named 6-fluoro-3-hydroxypyrazine-2-carboxamide, is a new broad-spectrum antibody targeting RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) developed by Japan’s Toyama Chemical Pharmaceutical Company 
	Viral drugs, approved for marketing in Japan in March 2014, are used to treat new and recurrent influenza. 
	During the outbreak of the new coronavirus, the results of the Phase I clinical study of the drug published in March 2020 showed that the drug's Chemicalbook has shown that it may speed up virus clearance and achieve the curative effect of alleviating the progress of new coronavirus pneumonia.
	 
	Biological activity
	 
	Favipiravir (T-705) is a potent and selective RNA-dependent RNApolymerase inhibitor for the treatment of influenza virus infection. 
	Target
	 
	TargetValueRNA-dependentRNApolymerase
	 
	In vitro studies
	 
	Favipiravir exhibits anti-influenza virus activity. The IC50 ranges for influenza A virus, influenza B virus and influenza C virus are 0.013-0.48μg/ml, 0.039-0.089μg/ml, and 0.030-0.057μg/ml, respectively. 
	In mammalian cell lines (MDCK cells, Vero cells, HEL cells, A549 cells, HeLa cells, and HEp-2 cells), Favipiravir at a concentration of up to 1,000 μg/ml showed no toxicity. 
	Favipiravir induced lethal mutations in MDCK cells inoculated with seasonal influenza A (H1N1) virus.
	 
	In vivo research
	 
	In mice infected with influenza virus, Favipiravir (200mg/kg/day, p.o.) protects mice from death due to influenza virus infection. 
	In mice artificially infected with Ebola virus, Favipiravir effectively blocked virus production, achieving 95% and 99.6% antiviral effects 2 and 6 days after the initial treatment.
	 
	
		Favipiravir (favipiravir), as a new broad-spectrum anti-RNA virus drug, was approved for marketing in Japan in March 2014 for the antiviral treatment of influenza A and B. Chemicalbook therapy. 
	
		Studies have shown that in addition to influenza virus, the drug also exhibits good antiviral activity against a variety of RNA viruses, such as Ebola virus, arena virus, Bunia virus, and rabies virus.
