Excerpt

Brincidofovir is an orally available antiviral agent with activity against smallpox and several other DNA viruses that is currently approved for use against smallpox virus (variola) infection in humans and has been given emergency use authorization for treatment of monkeypox (now renamed “mpox”) infection. Brincidofovir therapy has been linked to a low rate of serum aminotransferase elevations during therapy, but has not been implicated in instances of clinically apparent liver injury.
