Molnupiravir is a small molecule antiviral drug with a chemical structure that enables it to interfere with the replication process of RNA viruses. It is a prodrug, meaning it is metabolized in the body into its active form, which then exerts its antiviral effects.
The primary mechanism of action of Molnupiravir involves inhibiting viral replication by inducing lethal mutations in the genetic material of the virus. Once metabolized into its active form, Molnupiravir mimics one of the building blocks of RNA. When the virus attempts to replicate its genetic material using Molnupiravir, it introduces errors into its RNA sequence, leading to nonviable or less infectious viral progeny. This disruption of viral replication ultimately hampers the virus's ability to spread and cause infection.
Molnupiravir, while showing promise as an antiviral drug for treating various viral infections in humans, has not been extensively studied or approved for use in veterinary medicine, including for the treatment of Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP). FIP is a complex and often fatal viral disease in cats caused by certain strains of feline coronavirus.

Molnupiravir gained significant attention during the COVID-19 pandemic as a potential oral antiviral treatment for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Clinical trials have been conducted to evaluate its efficacy and safety in COVID-19 patients.
Studies have shown that Molnupiravir can reduce the duration of viral shedding and symptoms in COVID-19 patients when administered early in the course of the infection. It is believed to help limit the spread of the virus within the body and potentially reduce the severity of the illness.
