Repurposed Medicines for Viruses With Epidemic or Pandemic Potential: A Horizon Scan
ABSTRACT Viruses such as Ebola, Marburg, influenza, mpox, MERS‐CoV, SARS‐CoV, and SARS‐CoV‐2 may be considered pathogens of epidemic or pandemic concern. Developing novel antiviral medicines can be time‐consuming and resource intensive. Repurposing existing medicines with known or potential antiviral activity offers a faster, cost‐effective strategy to

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.
