T-705 (Favipiravir) is a broad-spectrum antiviral drug[1]. T-705 exerts its antiviral effects by selectively inhibiting the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of RNA viruses[2]. The catalytic domain of RdRp is highly conserved among a variety of RNA viruses, which endows T-705 with broad-spectrum antiviral activity[3], including against influenza virus, Ebola virus, Lassa virus, etc[4].
In vitro, treatment of H9c2 cardiomyoblasts and CCD-1079Sk skin fibroblasts with T-705 (200–400μM) for 24 hours significantly reduced intracellular ATP levels, inhibited the activity of mitochondrial electron transport chain complexes I and V, induced oxidative stress, and caused DNA damage [5]. Pre-treatment of IEC-6 intestinal epithelial cells with T-705 (1600mg/L) for 24 hours, followed by stimulation with TNF-α (50ng/mL) and IFN-γ (100ng/mL) for 48 hours, significantly suppressed inflammatory responses and decreased the expression of apoptosis- and necrosis-related proteins, thereby protecting intestinal epithelial cells from inflammatory damage[6].
In vivo, oral administration of T-705 (150mg/kg) twice daily to mice infected with Bourbon virus (BRBV-STL), starting on day 1 post-infection and continuing for 8 days, significantly reduced weight loss and increased survival rates in mice[7]. Oral treatment of mice infected with Mayaro virus (MAYV) with T-705 (300mg/kg) for 5 days significantly reduced viral RNA and infectious viral particles in the blood and tissues. T-705 also significantly decreased levels of liver disease markers aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT) and alanine aminotransferase (ALAT) in the blood of MAYV-infected mice[8].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | H9c2 cardiomyoblasts (rat cardiomyoblast cell line), CCD-1079Sk skin fibroblasts (human skin fibroblast cell line) |
Preparation Method | Cells were cultured in DMEM-F12 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% penicillin–streptomycin at 37°C, 5% CO₂. Sub-culturing was done every 2–3 days. T-705 was applied at concentrations of 200μM and 400μM for 24 hours. |
Reaction Conditions | 200μM and 400μM; 24 hours |
Applications | T-705 significantly decreased intracellular ATP conten. T-705 also inhibited mitochondrial electron transport chain enzyme activities, particularly complex I and complex V. T-705 significantly increased oxidative stress. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | C57BL/6J mice |
Preparation Method | Mice were intraperitoneally inoculated with 4x102pfu of BRBV-STL. T-705 (150mg/kg) was administered orally twice daily for 8 days, starting immediately after infection (pre-treatment), one day after infection (concurrent treatment), or three days after infection (post-treatment). |
Dosage form | 150mg/kg; oral gavage |
Applications | T-705 significantly reduced weight loss and increased survival rates in mice. |
