Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors Used mainly for HIV treatment Block reverse transcriptase enzyme Prevent viral RNA from converting into DNA B. Protease Inhibitors Used in HIV therapy Inhibit viral protease enzyme Prevent formation of mature infectious virus particles C. Neuraminidase Inhibitors Used for Influenza virus Block neuraminidase enzyme Prevent release of new viruses from infected cells 5️⃣ Other Important Types Direct-Acting Antivirals (DAAs) – directly inhibit viral proteins (e.g., in hepatitis C). Nucleoside/Nucleotide Analogues – mimic nucleotides and stop viral DNA/RNA synthesis. Interferons – immune-modulating agents that enhance the body’s antiviral response.
