At present time, there is a widespread antiviral drug umifenovir. On the mechanism of antiviral action it refers to the fusion inhibitors of the virus with the cell membrane. Antiviral activity in vitro umifenovir studied in several independent laboratories. Umifenovir active against respiratory viruses such as rhinovirus, adenovirus, influenza virus, parainfluenza, respiratory syncytial virus, coronavirus, including the causative agent of atypical pneumonia. There are a large number of studies that have shown clinical efficiency of umifenovir. In clinical studies of prophylactic and therapeutic efficiency of umifenovir attended by 12400 and 1400 persons relatively.
