Repurposed Medicines for Viruses With Epidemic or Pandemic Potential: A Horizon Scan

open access: yesPharmacology Research &Perspectives, Volume 14, Issue 3, June 2026.
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

Tautomerism‐Governed Two‐Proton‐Coupled Electron Transfer in the Oxidation of a Molnupiravir by Electrogenerated Superoxide Radical Anion in N,N‐Dimethylformamide

open access: yesChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 21, 4 June 2026.
Tautomerization‐assisted oxidation of molnupiravir by superoxide (O2•−) in aprotic DMF. The thermodynamically favored oxime tautomer of the N4‐hydroxycytosine moiety forms a prereactive complex (PRC) with O2•− through hydrogen‐bonding interactions.

Successful in vitro propagation of feline coronavirus from clinically diagnosed feline infectious peritonitis cases using Vero cells: A potential model for future research

open access: yesVeterinary Record Open, Volume 13, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Background Feline coronavirus (FCoV) causes inapparent to progressive fatal feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) in domestic and wild cats, which affects multiple‐organ systems. Methods We investigated three clinically sick cats using different laboratory and molecular tests to diagnose and confirm FCoV and propagate the virus in Vero cell ...

Molnupiravir: Mechanism of action, clinical, and translational science

open access: yesClinical and Translational Science
Molnupiravir is an oral prodrug of the broadly active, antiviral ribonucleoside analog N‐hydroxycytidine (NHC). The primary circulating metabolite NHC is taken up into cells and phosphorylated to NHC‐triphosphate (NHC‐TP).
