This section is a part of the chapter: Strategies for Studying Antiviral Activity of Natural Products: From Screening to Mechanism Elucidation Understanding how antiviral drugs work is tricky because different viruses behave in different ways. Still, many viruses share basic steps like entering cells, copying their genes, and spreading. A new approach focuses on targeting parts of our own cells that viruses rely on, making it harder for viruses to resist treatment. Natural substances and the body’s own immune responses are key areas of research. Scientists use tools like qPCR, western blotting, and confocal microscopy to track how viruses grow and interact with cells. This helps discover better, broad-spectrum antivirals that work against many viruses and resist becoming useless over time. How to Cite Sotelo, P. H. ., & Vargas-Correa, A. . (2025).
