    Uploaded by

    akoeljames8543
    This document discusses antiviral drugs, including viruses they can treat, their targets in the viral lifecycle, and classes of antiviral drugs. It covers viruses like herpes, influenza, hepatitis B and C, and HIV that antivirals can treat. The targets include disrupting the virion, inhibiting attachment, penetration, RNA/DNA synthesis, protein synthesis, and assembly/release. It describes expected learning outcomes and modes of action for different antiviral classes.
