Abstract excerpt
T-705 (favipiravir) is a potent inhibitor of RNA polymerases of influenza viruses. Susceptibility variants were isolated during passages in the presence of T-705. Nine variants with 0.4 to 2.1 times the 50% inhibitory concentration for plaque formation of the parent A/PR/8/34 (H1N1) strain had amino acid variations in the PB1, PB2, and PA genes of the RNA polymerase complex. However, the variation patterns in the...
