5-Et-ddU, Structure-activity relationships of pyrimidine nucleosides as antiviralagents for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
(E)-5-(2-Bromovinyl)uracil (BVU) is a pyrimidine base and an inactive metabolite of the antiviralagents sorivudine and (E)-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2'-deoxyuridine (BVDU) that may be regenerated to BVDU in vivo. BVU irreversibly inactivates dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) in an NADPH-dependent manner. It enhances the efficacy of the chemotherapeutic agent and DPD substrate 5-fluorouracil in a P388 murine leukemia model when administered at a dose of 200 μmol kg, increasing survival time.
Methyl 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetate is a polyphenol that has been found inI. aquifoliumseeds and has antioxidant and antiviral activities.1,2It scavenges 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radicals in a cell-free assay (IC50= 0.0025 mg ml).1Methyl 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetate (0.01 μg ml) inhibits enterovirus 71 replication in rhabdomyosarcoma cells.2 1.Nahar, L., Russell, W.R., Middleton, M., et al.Antioxidant phenylacetic acid derivatives from the seeds of Ilex aquifoliumActa Pharm.55(2)187-193(2005) 2.Wang, L., Wang, J., Wang, L., et al.Anti-enterovirus 71 agents of natural productsMolecules20(9)16320-16333(2015)
4-(N-Boc-amino)piperidine is an organic building block.1,2It has been used in the synthesis of aminopiperidine antiviral chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 5 (CCR5) antagonists and antibacterial agents. 1.Burrows, J.N., Cumming, J.G., Fillery, S.M., et al.Modulators of the human CCR5 receptor.

Ribavirin-13C5is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of ribavirin by GC- or LC-MS. Ribavirin is an antiviral guanosine nucleoside analog.1,2Upon entry into cells, ribavirin is metabolized to an active triphosphate form that induces viral RNA chain termination and inhibits viral polymerases. It reduces replication in a panel of seven RNA and four DNA viruses in Vero cells (EC50s = 2-95 μg/ml).3Ribavirin also reduces replication of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in Vero cells (EC50= 109.5 μM).4Aerosol administration of ribavirin (30 mg/kg) reduces mortality in a mouse model of influenza A infection.5Formulations containing ribavirin have been used in the treatment of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and viral hemorrhagic fevers. 1.Gilbert, B.E., and Knight, V.Biochemistry and clinical applications of ribavirinAntimicrob.

Antiviral agent 5 is a crucial intermediate utilized in the development of antiviralagents that specifically target 3C and 3CL proteases, which includes the SARS-CoV-2 M pro enzyme.
Ensitrelvir (S-217622) fumarate is a novel orally active inhibitor, targeting the SARS-CoV-2 3CL protease (IC50 = 13 nM). It demonstrates non-covalent and non-peptidic characteristics. This compound represents a pioneering advancement in the development of effective antiviralagents against the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Deleobuvir sodium is the salt form of Deleobuvir, also known as BI207127, a non-nucleoside hepatitis C virus NS5B polymerase inhibitor for the treatment of hepatitis C. Deleobuvir was tested in combination regimens with pegylated interferon and ribavirin, and in interferon-free regimens with other direct-acting antiviralagents including faldaprevir. Deleobuvir showed that a triple combination of deleobuvir, faldaprevir, and ribavirin performed well in HCV genotype 1b patients. Efficacy fell below 50%, however, for dual regimens without ribavirin and for genotype 1a patients. In December 2013, deleobuvir was discontinued since recent findings from phase III trials did not suggest sufficient efficacy.
Thiocarbazate, also known as CID16725315, is an inhibitor of human cathepsin L. Inhibition of cathepsin L thus holds promise for therapeutic intervention for both SARS-CoV and Ebola virus infection. With respect to the development of antiviralagents, inhibitors of human cathepsin L are not subject to resistance because of rapid mutations of the viral genome. Cathepsin L is therefore an attractive target for drug development.
