Favipiravir
Catalog Number : 2599693
description
Favipiravir is a potent and selective inhibitor of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of RNA viruses. It is reported to be effective against a wide range of types and subtypes of viruses. Favipiravir is metabolized into its active form of favipiravir-ribofuranosyl-5'-triphosphate (favipiravir-RTP). It is currently being researched as a potential treatment for COVID-19
