A member asked:
Hi, what are the antiviral drug for dengue virus spesifically the rna-dependant rna polymerase as the potential target? thanks
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None yet: Dengue fever and its severe form, dengue hemorrhagic fever, have no cure nor vaccine. One path of research is to find a way to use nucleoside analogs to block the viral rna-dependent RNA polymerase (coded by ns5), which copies the viral genetic material. So far, no drug has been approved yet. Not sure if anyone has found and submitted such a drug to the fda (food and drug administration).
