Favipiravir

Synonimy: Favipiravir, T-705, 6-fluoro-3-hydroxy-2-pyrazinecarboxamide, Avigan, Toyama Chemical

Favipiravir is a broad-spectrum antiviral agent developed by Toyama Chemical (now Fujifilm) in Japan. It is a pyrazinecarboxamide derivative that selectively inhibits the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of many RNA viruses, including influenza, Ebola, and SARS-CoV-2. Since its approval in Japan in 2014 for pandemic influenza, it has drawn global attention as a potential treatment for emerging viral infections.

Chemically, favipiravir is a synthetic small molecule with a molecular weight of 157.10 g/mol. Its active form, favipiravir-RTP, acts as a purine analog that competes with GTP for incorporation into viral RNA, effectively terminating viral replication. Unlike neuraminidase inhibitors, it targets a broad range of RNA viruses, making it a versatile candidate for antiviral research.

LyvBio supplies high-purity favipiravir (≥99.0% by HPLC) that meets stringent pharmacopeial standards. Our product is manufactured under GMP conditions and is suitable for pharmaceutical manufacturing, clinical research, and antiviral drug development. With reliable supply and comprehensive documentation, we support partners in bringing antiviral therapies to market efficiently.
