Introduction: Idoxuridine and Acyclovir are important antiviral agents studied in B. Pharm courses for their distinct chemistry, synthesis, and structure–activity relationship (SAR). Idoxuridine is a 5‑iodinated pyrimidine nucleoside used topically against DNA viruses; its synthesis involves selective 5‑iodination and nucleoside construction, while SAR highlights the crucial 5‑halogen and deoxyribose for activity. Acyclovir is an acyclic … Read more

Amantadine and Rimantadine MCQs With Answer help B. Pharm students master the pharmacology, mechanism, clinical uses, and safety profiles of two classic antiviral agents. These M2 ion-channel blockers target Influenza A by preventing viral uncoating; amantadine also has antiparkinsonian effects through dopaminergic and NMDA-related actions. Key learning points include differences in pharmacokinetics (renal excretion vs … Read more

Antiviral agents are drugs that inhibit viral replication by targeting specific stages of the virus life cycle. For B.Pharm students, mastering classification—entry/fusion inhibitors, uncoating (M2) inhibitors, nucleoside/nucleotide analogs, non-nucleoside inhibitors, protease and integrase inhibitors, neuraminidase and polymerase inhibitors—and mechanisms of action is essential for rational therapy and resistance management. Key keywords include mechanism of action, … Read more
