General description
Polycytidylic acid is a nucleoside analogue that inhibits
viral replication by inhibiting viral DNA polymerase. It has been shown to
inhibit the production of colony-stimulating factor (CSF), which is essential
for the growth and differentiation of cells in culture. Polycytidylic acid has
also been shown to have antiviral resistance, inhibitory properties, and
receptor activity. The virus must be able to bind to the surface of the cell
before it can infect it; polycytidylic acid prevents this from happening by
blocking receptors on the cell membrane. Polycytidylic acid is not toxic to
human cells at sublethal doses, but is toxic at higher concentrations. It may
interfere with physiological function, including Toll-like receptor signaling
pathways.
