title: [Mechanisms of the effect of antiviral agents].
abstract: This article reviews diverse strategies of rational development of antivirals based upon an interference with processes involved in viral multiplication cycle. With the aid of approved antiviral drugs as well as of antiviral drugs candidates in diverse stages of development this review demonstrates broad variability of chemical structure and mechanism of action in the field of antiviral development.
