Help

Package leaflet

Molnupiravir is a prodrug that is metabolized to the ribonucleoside analog N-hydroxycytidine (NHC). NHC is distributed into cells and phosphorylated to form pharmacologically active ribonucleoside triphosphate (NHC-TP).

The mechanism of action of NHC-TP operates through a mechanism known as an error catastrophe during the virus replication process. The incorporation of NHC-TP into viral RNA using the RNA polymerase enzyme leads to the accumulation of errors in the viral genome, resulting in suppression of replication.
