ProTides for Antiviral Activity Beyond Liver Cells
A strategy for obtaining prodrugs of antiviral nucleotides with broad tissue activity is presented that relies on cycloalkyl or cycloalkylalkyl esters, improving uptake and esterase cleavage, and producing nanomolar inhibitors in kidney, colon, and lung cells.

The Mengla virus (Filoviridae: Dianlovirus)
Introduction. Filoviruses associated with various species of pteropodid bats (Chiroptera: Pteropodidae) are traditionally regarded as potential causative agents of hemorrhagic fevers with epidemic potential.

Carbohydrate‐Based Drug Discovery: Synthetic Strategies and Clinical Applications
The picture depicts the molecules discussed in the review. On the left side, the general scaffold of sugars is shown. Next to it are four carbohydrate‐based molecules, including remdesivir, islatravir, empagliflozin, and Globo‐H. Remdesivir and islatravir contain a substituted ribose ring attached to a modified nucleobase.

Differences in cynomolgus macaque populations used for infectious disease research
Cynomolgus macaques, a species of Old World primate native to southeastern and eastern Asia and the island of Mauritius, are one of the most important nonhuman primate models for infectious disease. Research into the population genetics of cynomolgus macaques has found significant differences between macaques native to different areas, particularly ...
