How Do Antiviral Drugs Work?

Antiviral drugs work through various mechanisms to inhibit the viral life cycle. Some common mechanisms include:
Entry inhibitors: Block the virus from entering host cells.
Nucleoside analogs: Incorporate into viral DNA/RNA and cause chain termination.
Protease inhibitors: Inhibit viral proteases essential for viral maturation.
Integrase inhibitors: Prevent viral DNA from integrating into the host genome.
Polymerase inhibitors: Block viral RNA/DNA polymerases.
