Antiviral drugs and antiviral drug resistance [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Virology, 2011
Antiviral drugs and antiviral drug resistance can be matters of life and death for patients suffering from viral infections. They also can be valuable tools for understanding virus biology and biochemistry. Triumphs of antiviral therapy include acyclovir to treat genital herpes [1–4], triple combination chemotherapy for AIDS [5,6], and, quite recently,

Antivirals and antiviral strategies [PDF]

open access: yesNature Reviews Microbiology, 2004
In recent years, the demand for new antiviral strategies has increased markedly. There are many contributing factors to this increased demand, including the ever-increasing prevalence of chronic viral infections such as HIV and hepatitis B and C, and the emergence of new viruses such as the SARS coronavirus.

Antiviral Agents

open access: yesMedical Clinics of North America, 1988
Potent effective antiviral drugs recently have been licensed for several viral diseases, ushering in a new era in the treatment of viral diseases. Several unique features in the process of a viral infection have been identified as target points for inhibition. The unique steps and the interfering compounds are the subject of this review.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.
