Journal: Efficacy of late-onset antiviral treatment in immunocompromised hosts with persistent SARS-CoV-2 infection. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 18, 2024 This study supports the use of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) for late-onset management of persistent SARS-CoV-2 infection in immunocompromised hosts. However, treatment courses likely require to be extended for maximal therapeutic benefit, calling for appropriately powered clinical trials to meet the specific needs of this patient group.

Journal: A comprehensive study of SARS-CoV-2 mfigain protease (Mpro) inhibitor-resistant mutants selected in a VSV-based system. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 17, 2024 Moreover, we showed the putative molecular mechanism of resistance based on in silico molecular modelling. These findings have implications on the development of future generation Mpro inhibitors, will help to understand SARS-CoV-2 protease inhibitor resistance mechanisms and show the relevance of specific mutations, thereby informing treatment decisions.

Preclinical, Journal: Nirmatrelvir and Molnupiravir maintain potent in vitro and in vivo antiviral activity against circulating SARS-CoV-2 Omicron subvariants. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 17, 2024 In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of nirmatrelvir (PF-07321332) and other clinically significant SARS-CoV-2 antivirals against a diverse panel of SARS-CoV-2 variants, encompassing the newly identified Omicron subvariants XBB1.5 and JN.1, using live-virus antiviral assays. Our findings demonstrate that while the last Omicron subvariants exhibited heightened pathogenicity in our animal model, nirmatrelvir and other clinically relevant antivirals consistently maintained their efficacy against all tested variants, including the XBB1.5 subvariant.

Journal: Structural and virologic mechanism of the emergence of resistance to Mpro inhibitors in SARS-CoV-2. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 5, 2024 We generated SARS-CoV-2 variants resistant to three SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro) inhibitors (nirmatrelvir, TKB245, and 5h), by propagating the ancestral SARS-CoV-2WK521WT in VeroE6TMPRSS2 cells with increasing concentrations of each inhibitor and examined their structural and virologic profiles...The replicability of SARS-CoV-2WK521A191T surpassed that of SARS-CoV-2WK521WT in the absence of 5h, confirming that A191T confers enhanced viral fitness. The present data should shed light on the understanding of the mechanism of SARS-CoV-2's drug resistance acquisition and the development of resistance-repellant COVID-19 therapeutics.
