Antivirales

SE 563 is a biocontrol agent, which is an organism-based product derived from natural sources. It is sourced from a specific strain of entomopathogenic nematodes known for their effectiveness in targeting and controlling insect pests. The mode of action involves the nematodes seeking out their insect hosts in the soil, entering through natural openings, and releasing symbiotic bacteria that kill the host from within.

Foscarnet sodium is a pyrophosphate analog antiviral agent with action on viral DNA polymerase and is used for treating cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex virus infections.

RNA polymerase (RdRp) inhibitor

IND24 has anti-prion activity and can be used to study neurodegenerative diseases.

SARS-CoV-2 nsp13-IN-1 (C1) inhibits nsp13 ssDNA+ATPase (IC50: 6 μM), not ssDNA-ATPase; useful for COVID-19 research.

Epetirimod (S-30563) is a small molecule immunomodulator with antitumor and anti-infective activity for the study of papillomavirus infections.

Daclatasvir is a direct-acting antiviral agent, which is derived from synthetic chemical sources with a specific mode of action targeting the hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication process. It functions as an inhibitor of the HCV nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A), a vital component necessary for viral RNA replication and virion assembly. By binding to two distinct domains of NS5A, Daclatasvir disrupts its ability to function, thereby effectively halting the replication of the viral genome.

Vidarabine monohydrate is an antiviral agent with action on viral DNA polymerase to inhibit replication and is used for treating herpes simplex virus infections and varicella-zoster virus infections.

YM-53403: Antiviral that combats both RSV subgroup A/B, treats respiratory infections.

Tenofovir alafenamide (free base) is a prodrug of tenofovir with action on viral reverse transcriptase to block replication and is used for treating HIV/AIDS and chronic hepatitis B with improved safety profile.

Rociclovir has antiviral activity and is used to treat viral infections.

BF738735 is a selective inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase III beta (PI4KIIIβ, IC50 = 5.7 nM) showing higher activity over α(IC50 = 1.7 μM).

Ledipasvir D-tartrate is an antiviral compound, which is a direct-acting antiviral agent used in the treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. It originates from synthetic sources designed to inhibit the replication of specific viral proteins. Ledipasvir functions by targeting the NS5A protein of the hepatitis C virus, a key component necessary for viral replication. By binding to this protein, Ledipasvir disrupts and inhibits the HCV replication complex, effectively suppressing the viral load in patients.

Nucleoside analog with antiviral activity against coronaviruses, hepatitis and influenzas viruses. EIDD 1931 inhibited the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and the murine hepatitis virus (MHV) replication in vitro at submicromolar concentrations. EIDD 1931 is able to evade the proofreading exonuclease ExoN and presents with high barrier to development of drug resistance.

PI4KIII beta inhibitor

Abacavir sulfate is a pharmaceutical compound classified as a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI), which is derived from synthetic sources. Its mode of action involves the inhibition of the reverse transcriptase enzyme, essential for the replication of HIV. By incorporating itself into the viral DNA chain during replication, Abacavir effectively halts the process, preventing further multiplication of the virus within the host cells.

This antiretroviral medication is primarily used in the management and treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infections. Abacavir sulfate is a critical component in highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), contributing to the reduction of viral load, enhancing immune function, and improving the long-term clinical outcomes in patients living with HIV. Its application in combination therapies has been instrumental in transforming HIV from a fatal disease into a manageable chronic condition.

Ganciclovir is an antiviral agent specifically designed for culture media use. It is a synthetic analogue of 2'-deoxy-guanosine, derived from nucleoside compounds, and operates primarily by inhibiting the replication of viral DNA. Its mode of action involves selective phosphorylation by viral kinases, which converts it into ganciclovir triphosphate, a potent inhibitor of viral DNA polymerase, ultimately preventing viral DNA synthesis.

Potent antiviral against HCMV and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)
