Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

Arbidol HCl specifically targets viral hemagglutinin and membrane phospholipids, thereby blocking pH-dependent fusion of the viral membrane with host endosomal membranes and preventing viral entry into target cells. By halting viral uncoating and subsequent intracellular replication, this entry inhibition mechanism limits viral spread, demonstrating clinical relevance for treating and preventing influenza infections studied in clinical trials.

Appendix RUO and cGMP Quality Standards
