Antiviral Drugs For Influenza Viruses

ABSTRACT

Antiviral drugs have significant action against influenza viruses A and B. Virus spread deadly disease in which many people die, and the country economy greatly suffer. Presently, most of the people need to get vaccination, which is depending on the dose limit in humans. It reacts directly or sometimes indirectly in the form of metabolites. However, it is mandatory to know how much drug is absorbed or metabolites concentration after administered. Therefore, pharmacokinetics data is very crucial for all drugs. Our review discusses the mechanism of drugs action and their activity and also describes how antiviral drugs and their metabolites is determined using a highly sensitive instrument such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), ultra-pressure liquid chromatography (UPLC), mass spectrometry (MS). Therefore, the present review gives brief information about antiviral drugs, their activity, biotransformation and analytical methods for quantification and this information will be helpful for any future studies done by experts in this field and will be beneficial for research scientists and influenza experts of all over the globe.
