Fomivirsen(CAT: M032592) is an antiviral medication and a synthetic antisense oligonucleotide. Its mode of action involves being an FDA-approved treatment for cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis in immunocompromised individuals, especially those with AIDS. Fomivirsen works by inhibiting the replication of CMV by targeting and binding to a specific viral messenger RNA, thus preventing the production of essential viral proteins. This mechanism helps control the progression of CMV retinitis and reduces the risk of vision loss in affected patients
