In Silico Identification of Antiviral Peptides as Potential Leads Against Sudan Ebolavirus VP‐40

BioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The continued reemergence of Ebola virus epidemics remains a global health concern, largely due to limited therapeutic interventions. This study is aimed at identifying and characterizing antiviral peptides as potential lead candidates against the Sudan Ebola virus.

Cutaneous manifestations of filovirus infections

International Journal of Dermatology, 2012
AbstractEbolavirus and Marburgvirus, two filoviruses belonging to the Filoviridae family, are among the most virulent pathogens for humans and non‐human primates, causing outbreaks of fulminant hemorrhagic fever (HF) in Central African countries with case fatality rates of up to 90%.

Viral and host proteins that modulate filovirus budding

, 2010
The filoviruses, Ebola and Marburg, utilize a multifaceted mechanism for assembly and budding of infectious virions from mammalian cells. Growing evidence not only demonstrates the importance of multiple viral proteins for efficient assembly and budding,

Production of human cathepsins using Expi293™ mammalian cell expression system for off‐target activity of cysteine protease inhibitor screening

Protein Science, Volume 34, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Following the SARS‐CoV‐2 pandemic, many direct‐acting antivirals targeting viral cysteine protease were developed. SARS‐CoV‐2, as well as other viruses, rely on cysteine proteases for their replication, suggesting future generations of antivirals targeting cysteine proteases will emerge.

FILOVIRUS TRANSCRIPTION AND REPLICATION [PDF]

, 2014
Filoviruses belong to the group of nonsegmented, negative-sense (NNS) RNA viruses and are members of the order Mononegavirales along with the rhabdo-, paramyxo-, nyami-, and bornaviruses. Mononegaviruses share a general mechanism to replicate and transcribe their genomes, reflected in functionally homologous proteins and a similar genome structure ...

Host-Primed Ebola Virus GP Exposes a Hydrophobic NPC1 Receptor-Binding Pocket, Revealing a Target for Broadly Neutralizing Antibodies

mBio, 2016
The filovirus surface glycoprotein (GP) mediates viral entry into host cells. Following viral internalization into endosomes, GP is cleaved by host cysteine proteases to expose a receptor-binding site (RBS) that is otherwise hidden from immune ...

The Antiviral Activity of Polyphenols

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, Volume 69, Issue 15, August 2025.
Polyphenols demonstrate remarkable antiviral properties by effectively disrupting multiple biochemical processes essential for viral replication. ABSTRACT Polyphenols are secondary metabolites produced by a large variety of plants. These compounds that comprise the class of phenolic acids, stilbenes, lignans, coumarins, flavonoids, and tannins have a ...
