Antibiotics that destroy bacterial cells ideally exhibit , that is, they target cellular components that the infected human cells lack, such as and 70s ribosomes. It is more difficult to design since viruses cannot replicate without a host; therefore, by necessity the drug must penetrate the host cell, often causing severe in the process. Antiviral drugs available today include those designed to block and processing, packaging and, in the case of HIV, block the action of the enzyme . is a naturally-occurring protein that signals cells when a virus is present thereby stimulating the production of . This process can be enhanced when interferon is prescribed therapeutically in patients infected with the hepatitis B virus, for example. Since it is easier for scientists to orchestrate viral disease prevention rather than cure, generally more effort is directed towards production than antiviral drug development.
