Viruses, and particularly RNA viruses, have high mutation rates. Hence, antiviral agents that have been developed to date targeting protease or reverse transcriptase of viruses have quickly lost their effectiveness and resistant viruses have emerged. Also, in recent years, viral diseases caused by various new viruses such as SARS, avian influenza, and the hepatitis C have become social menaces. Therefore, the development of a novel antiviral agent that can cope with a virus resistant to an existing drug or a new virus and has a wide range of applications has been demanded. The present invention provides a novel anti-RNA viral agent and a method for use thereof. The present invention further provides an anti-RNA viral agent that is also effective against a new virus or a drug-resistant virus, and a method for use thereof.
病毒,特别是RNA病毒,具有较高的突变率。因此,迄今为止开发的针对病毒蛋白酶或反转录酶的抗病毒药物很快失去了效力,出现了耐药病毒。此外,近年来,由各种新病毒引起的病毒性疾病,如SARS,禽流感和丙型肝炎,已成为社会问题。因此,需要开发一种新型抗病毒药物,可以应对对现有药物产生耐药性的病毒或新的病毒,并具有广泛的应用范围。本发明提供了一种新型抗RNA病毒药物及其使用方法。本发明还提供了一种对新病毒或耐药病毒也有效的抗RNA病毒药物及其使用方法。
