Novel drug for COVID-19: Virafin a therapeutic breakthrough
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background: Pegylated Interferon Alpha-2b is synthesized via the use of PEG (polyethylene glycol). It formulated attaching a 12kDa mono methoxy polyethylene glycol moiety to recombinant human protein. acts binding (JAK/STAT) Janus kinase signal transducer and activator transcription interferon receptor. The /Virafin binds (IFNAR1/2) alpha receptor 1 2. better known as Virafin has been approved by Drugs Controller General India. This therapeutic agent currently under multicentric phase 3 trial with very promising results being reported. A single subcutaneous dose shown decrease need for oxygen therapy in patients. reduction vital factor needed provide relief Indian medical system light recent shortages faced due India’s worst wave COVID-19 cases since onset global pandemic. Alpha-2b/ confers enhanced viral clearance bolsters immune response induce quicker recovery patients mild moderate symptoms.
 Conclusion: paramount importance that further research on undertaken it can hinder progression COVID-19, reduce pressure inundated health systems, save countless lives.
