Journal: Sangivamycin is preferentially incorporated into viral RNA by the SARS-CoV-2 polymerase. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 29, 2023 In contrast, host mRNA, affinity purified from the same infected and treated cells, contained little or no S. Sangivamycin triphosphate (STP) was synthesized to evaluate its incorporation into RNA by recombinant SARS-CoV-2 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) under defined in vitro conditions. SARS-CoV-2 RdRp showed that S was not a chain terminator and S containing oligonucleotides templated as A. Though the antiviral mechanism remains to be determined, the data suggests that SARS-CoV-2 RdRp incorporates STP into SARS-CoV-2 RNA, which does not significantly impair viral RNA synthesis or the mutation rate.

Journal: Safety considerations in the management of hepatitis C and HIV co-infection. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 25, 2023 Throughout this mechanism interact most HCV and HIV protease inhibitors and non-nucleoside polymerase inhibitors. Exposure to some HIV and HCV nucleos(t)ide analogues (e.g. tenofovir and sofosbuvir, respectively) is subject to induction/inhibition of drug transporters and requires special attention in patients with renal insufficiency.

Review, Journal: An Updated View on the Antiviral Therapy of Hepatitis C in Chronic Kidney Disease. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 29, 2021 However, recent data highlight that many patients with advanced CKD remain untreated, and numerous barriers to antiviral treatment of HCV still exist. Whether successful antiviral therapy with DAAs will translate into improved survival in the advanced CKD population is another point of future research.

Review, Journal: Recent developments in the medicinal chemistry of single boron atom-containing compounds. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 5, 2021 In this perspective, we aim to comprehensively review the current status of boron compounds in drug discovery, focusing especially on progress from 2015 to December 2020. We classify these compounds into groups showing anticancer, antibacterial, antiviral, antiparasitic and other activities, and discuss the biological targets associated with each activity, as well as potential future developments.

Preclinical, Journal: Non-nucleoside hepatitis B virus polymerase inhibitors identified by an in vitro polymerase elongation assay. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 19, 2021 We classify these compounds into groups showing anticancer, antibacterial, antiviral, antiparasitic and other activities, and discuss the biological targets associated with each activity, as well as potential future developments. We report the development of a screening system that is useful for identifying non-nucleos(t)ide RT inhibitors.

Journal: Baicalein and Baicalin Inhibit SARS-CoV-2 RNA-Dependent-RNA Polymerase. (Pubmed Central) - May 1, 2021 As there are no antiviral agents for the prevention and treatment of this severe pathogen except for remdesivir, development of antiviral therapies to treat infected individuals remains highly urgent...Our data through cell-based and biochemical studies showed that both compounds act as SARS-CoV-2 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) inhibitors directly and inhibit the activity of the SARS-CoV-2 RdRp, but baicalein was more potent. We also showed specific binding of baicalein to the SARS-CoV-2 RdRp, making it a potential candidate for further studies towards therapeutic development for COVID-19 as a selective non-nucleoside polymerase inhibitor.
- |||||||||| Clinical, PK/PD data, Journal: Design of N-Benzoxaborole Benzofuran GSK8175 - Optimization of Human PK Inspired by Metabolites of a Failed Clinical HCV Inhibitor. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 17, 2020
An X-ray structure of NS5B protein co-crystallized with 49 revealed unique protein-inhibitor interactions mediated by an extensive network of ordered water molecules, and the first evidence of boronate complex formation within the binding pocket. In clinical studies, 49 displayed a 60-63 h half-life and a robust decrease in viral RNA levels in HCV infected patients, thereby validating our hypothesis that reducing benzylic oxidation would improve human PK and lower efficacious doses relative to 1.

This novel route features several remarkably diastereoselective and high yielding transformations, including construction of the all carbon quaternary stereogenic center at C-2 via a thermodynamic aldol reaction. Subsequent glycosylation reaction with activated uracil via C-1 phosphate, and installation of the cyclic phosphate group using an achiral phosphorous (III) reagent followed by oxidation provides 1.
