Question

Preparation of anti-viral drugs is more difficult than anti-bacterial medicines because_______________.

• A. Virus makes use of host machinery
• B. Virus lacks a cellular structure
• C. Virus has a very few biochemical mechanism of its own
• D. All of these

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of these

Making anti-viral drugs is more difficult than making anti-bacterial medicines because viruses have very few biochemical mechanisms of their own. They make use of host machinery which replicates. So it is very much difficult to find the targets where these drugs get interfered by not making any harm to the host. Thus, it is not easy to design an antiviral drug with high safety and effectiveness.
