二十二醇 (Abreva)

概览

Docosanol is an antiviral used to treat orofacial herpes sores.

作用机制

Docosanol works by inhibiting fusion between the human cell plasma membrane and the herpes simplex virus (HSV) envelope, thereby preventing viral entry into cells and subsequent viral replication. Unlike other cold-sore antivirals, docosanol does not act directly on the virus, and as such it is unlikely it will produce drug resistant mutants of HSV.

适应症

For the topical treatment of recurrent oral-facial herpes simplex episodes (cold sores or fever blisters).

• Cold Sore
