Antiviral agents are drugs approved in the USA by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment or control of viral infections. Available antiviral agents mainly target stages in the viral life cycle. The target stages in the viral life cycle are; viral attachment to host cell, uncoating, synthesis of viral mRNA, translation of mRNA ...

G-quadruplexes and G-quadruplex ligands: targets and tools in antiviral therapy [PDF]
G-quadruplexes (G4s) are non-canonical nucleic acids secondary structures that form within guanine-rich strands of regulatory genomic regions. G4s have been extensively described in the human genome, especially in telomeres and oncogene promoters; in ...

Progression of Antiviral Agents Targeting Viral Polymerases
Viral DNA and RNA polymerases are two kinds of very important enzymes that synthesize the genetic materials of the virus itself, and they have become extremely favorable targets for the development of antiviral drugs because of their relatively conserved

Virucidal Efficacy of Laser-Generated Copper Nanoparticle Coatings Against Model Coronavirus and Herpesvirus [PDF]
High-efficiency antiviral surfaces can be effective means to fight against viral diseases such as the recent Covid-19 pandemic. Copper and copper oxides, as well as their nanoparticles (Cu NPs) and coatings, are among the effective antiviral materials having internal and external biocidal effects on viruses.

Link between allosteric signal transduction and functional dynamics in a multi-subunit enzyme: S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase [PDF]
S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (SAHH), a cellular enzyme that plays a key role in methylation reactions including those required for maturation of viral mRNA, is an important drug target in the discovery of antiviral agents. While targeting the active site is a straightforward strategy of enzyme inhibition, evidences of allosteric modulation of ...

Phytochemicals as Antiviral Agents: Recent Updates
The epidemic of viral diseases is a global concern, mandating an urgent need of most promising antivirals. Some of the viral diseases can be cured by approved antiviral drugs, but for others still do not have any vaccines or drugs available.

PaccMann$^{RL}$ on SARS-CoV-2: Designing antiviral candidates with conditional generative models [PDF]
With the fast development of COVID-19 into a global pandemic, scientists around the globe are desperately searching for effective antiviral therapeutic agents. Bridging systems biology and drug discovery, we propose a deep learning framework for conditional de novo design of antiviral candidate drugs tailored against given protein targets.
