Remdesivir Description
Remdesivir (development code GS-5734) is a novel antiviral drug in the class of nucleotide analogs. It is a nucleoside analogue, with effective antiviral activity, with EC50s of 74 nM for SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV in HAE cells, and 30 nM for murine hepatitis virus in delayed brain tumor cells. Remdesivir is highly effective in the control of 2019-nCoV (COVID-19) infection in vitro.
Remdesivir is a nucleotide prodrug of an adenosine analog. It binds to the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase and inhibits viral replication by terminating RNA transcription prematurely.
Remdesivir Applications
Remdesivir is a potent antiviral agent. Remdesivir inhibits murine hepatitis virus (MHV) with an EC50 of 30 nM, and blocks SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV in HAE cells with EC50s of both 74 nM in HAE cells after treatment for 24 h.
