Antiviral Resistance due to Polymorphs in Medicinal Chemistry

The emergence of polymorphs in active pharmaceutical ingredients, such as Ritonavir, can lead to reduced efficacy or complete failure of medications. This issue poses significant challenges in medicinal chemistry, particularly in ensuring the consistent performance of drugs. The problem highlights the need for better understanding and management of polymorphs in drug development.
