Due to prevent acidification in these vacuoles is achieved the blocking of the merger and the viral envelope membrane of the endosome. This mechanism prevents the transfer of viral genetic material into the cell cytoplasm. The drug interrupts the process of transcription of the viral genome by inhibiting release of viral particles from the cell.
