FGI-104is the name of an experimental broad-spectrumantiviral drug,with activity against a range of viruses includinghepatitis B,hepatitis C,HIV,Ebola virus,andVenezuelan equine encephalitis virus.[1]

Mechanism[edit]

The drug acts by inhibiting the proteinTSG101,which transports newly manufactured virions to the exterior of an infected cell, thus breaking the replication cycle of the virus. In pre-clinical studies, FGI-104 has been shown to protect mice fromEbola virus disease.[2][3]
