Triazavirin is a guanine nucleotide analog antiviral originally developed in Russia that has shown efficacy against influenza A and B, including the H5N1 strain. It appears that Triazavirin has shown promise in reducing influenza disease severity and associated complications. Given the similarities between SARS-CoV-2 and H5N1, health officials are investigating Triazavirin as an option to combat SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus responsible for COVID-19.

How Triazavirin works

Triazavirin is a guanosine nucleotide analog that inhibits RNA synthesis.

Toxicity

The intraperitoneal LD50 of triazavirin in mice is 1400±120mg/kg in mice and the intragastric LD50 is 2200±96mg/kg.

Patients experiencing an overdose may present with nausea, vomiting, dyspepsia, and stomach pain. Treat overdose with symptomatic and supportive treatment, which may include discontinuation of treatment.

Food Interaction

Volume of Distribution

In rabbits, intragastric triazavirin has a volume of distribution of 83.5±19.2L/kg while intravenous triazavirin has a volume of distribution of 1.2±0.3L/kg.

Elimination Route

In rabbits, intragastric triazavirin reaches a Cmax of 1.1±0.1mg/L, with a Tmax of 0.40±0.16h, and an AUC of 3.10±0.8mg*h/L. In rabbits, intravenous triazavirin has an AUC of 1.2±0.3mg*h/L.

In humans, triazavirin reaches a Cmax of 4.8µg/mL, with a Tmax of 1-1.5h, and an AUC of 12.8µgµg/h*mL.

Half Life

In rabbits, intragastric triazavirin has a half life of 1.1±0.1h while intravenous triazavirin has a half life of 0.50±0.09h.

The half life of triazavirin is 1-1.5h.

Clearance
