Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
According to the instructions, Bonafton has an antiviral effect and is active against certain types of adenoviruses and Herpes simplex. Bromnaphthoquinone, the active ingredient of the drug, inhibits the synthesis of cytoplasmic proteins that are part of the capsids, and prevents the transfer of viral capsid components into the cell nucleus, where they are "assembled". Bonafton reduces the severity of symptoms in infectious diseases of the conjunctiva of the vault and eyeball, including eliminating hyperemia, normalizing the structure of the cornea and accelerating the process of epithelialization of ulcers.
