Arbidol is a kind of non-nucleoside broad-spectrum antiviral drugs
which plays an antiviral role mainly by inhibiting the entry of virus into cells and regulating immunity. A large number of experiments have confirmed the antiviral activity of arbidol against a variety of viruses
including DNA and RNA viruses
enveloped and non-enveloped viruses. In China
arbidol is mainly used for the treatment of upper respiratory tract infection caused by influenza A and B virus. After the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic
the results of in vitro and in vivo experiments confirmed that arbidol has significant inhibitory effects on SARS-CoV-2
and the use of arbidol can improve the clinical outcomes of patients
yet there are also reports shows that arbidol has no definite curative efficacy. As a kind of potentially effective antiviral drugs
arbidol still needs a lot of clinical practice confirmation.
