A computational approach to drug repurposing against SARS-CoV-2 RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) [PDF]
The spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) caused a worldwide outbreak of coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19), which rapidly evolved as a global concern. The efforts of the scientific community are pointed towards the identification of promptly available therapeutic options.

Thiolutin Derivatives as inhibitor of RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase (RdRP) of Hepatitis C Virus: An In-silico Approach [PDF]
Docking study of few Thiolutin derivatives, which originally act as Hepatitis C Virus RNA Dependent RNA Polymerase (RdRP) inhibitor, was performed by using AutoDock Vina. The docking studies reveal that thiolutin interacted with Hepatitis C Virus RNA Dependent RNA Polymerase through hydrogen bonding as well as hydrophobic interactions.

RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) as a drug target for SARS-CoV2 [PDF]
RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), also called nsp12, is considered a promising but challenging drug target for inhibiting replication and hence, the growth of various RNA-viruses. In this report, a computational study is performed to offer insights on the binding of Remdesivir and Galidesivir with SARS-CoV2 RdRp with natural substrate, ATP, as the ...

Cordycepin as a Promising Inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 RNA Dependent RNA Polymerase (RdRp)
Background: SARS-CoV-2, which emerged in Wuhan, China, is a new global threat that has killed millions of people and continues to do so. This pandemic has not only threatened human life but has also triggered economic downturns across the world. Researchers have made significant strides in discovering molecular insights into SARSCoV- 2 pathogenesis ...

RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) natural antiviral inhibitors: a review
Viral diseases are the cause of many global epidemics, leading to deaths, affecting the quality of life of populations, and impairing public health. The limitations in the treatment of viral diseases and the constant resistance to conventional antiviral treatments encourage researchers to discover new compounds.

Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) NS5A Binds RNA-dependent RNA Polymerase (RdRP) NS5B and Modulates RNA-dependent RNA Polymerase Activity [PDF]
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5B is RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP), the essential catalytic enzyme for HCV replication. Recently, NS5A has been reported to be important for the establishment of HCV replication in vitro by the adaptive mutations, although its role in viral replication remains uncertain.

Potential use of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) inhibitor against SARS-CoV2 infection [PDF]
Favipiravir, an inhibitor of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase used against the Japanese flu, was recently suggested as a potential COVID-19 inhibitor. Since Favipiravir targets a critical and a viral specific process, using it as a treatment could be beneficial in slowing the outbreak.
