Usage

Description

Remdesivir is an antiviral medication initially developed to treat Ebola but has been extensively investigated for its potential use in treating other viral infections, including COVID-19. It functions by inhibiting the viral RNA polymerase, which is essential for the virus to replicate and spread within the host. Clinical trials have indicated that remdesivir may contribute to reducing the severity and duration of symptoms in COVID-19 patients, leading to its emergency use authorization by various regulatory agencies. However, ongoing research is necessary to fully comprehend its safety and efficacy profile.

Uses

Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
Remdesivir is used as an antiviral agent for the treatment of viral infections, particularly COVID-19. It is employed to inhibit the viral RNA polymerase, thereby reducing the severity and duration of symptoms in infected patients.
Used in Clinical Research:
In the field of clinical research, Remdesivir is utilized as a subject of investigation for its potential efficacy and safety in treating various viral infections. Ongoing studies aim to explore its full therapeutic potential and to establish optimal treatment protocols for patients.
Used in Emergency Response:
During public health emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, Remdesivir is used as a critical component of the medical response to manage the disease's impact and improve patient outcomes. Its emergency use authorization underscores its importance in addressing urgent health crises.

Product Description:

Novel inhibitor of the replication of several taxonomically diverse RNA viruses such as Middle East respiratory syndrome virus, Ebola virus, Lassa fever virus, Junin virus and respiratory syncytial virus, while having low cytotoxicity in a wide-range of cell lines

Remdesivir Properties

Background Information

Remdesivir is a nucleoside analogue, with effective antiviral activity, with EC50s of 74 nM for ARS-CoV and MERS-CoV in HAE cells, and 30 nM for murine hepatitis virus in delayed brain tumor cells. 
Remdesivir, also known as GS-5734, is an antiviral drug, a novel nucleotide analog prodrug. It was developed by Gilead Sciences as a treatment for filovirus infections such as Ebola virus disease and Marburg virus, though it has subsequently also been found to show reasonable antiviral activity against more distantly related viruses such as respiratory syncytial virus, Junin virus, Lassa fever virus, and MERS-coronavirus. GS-5734 was rapidly pushed through clinical trials due to the 2013–2016 West African Ebola virus epidemic crisis, eventually being used in at least one human patient despite its early development stage at the time. Preliminary results have been promising, and further clinical trials are planned.
GS-5734 (Remdesivir) is a monophosphoramidate prodrug of adenosine analogue that exhibits antiviral activity against multiple variants of EBOV (EC50=70-140 nM) and other filoviruses (EC50=0.019-1.48 uM) in cell-based assays; suppresses EBOV replication and protects 100% of EBOV-infected animals against lethal disease, ameliorating clinical disease signs and pathophysiological markers.

Total synthesis of remdesivir

Remdesivir, the first drug approved by the FDA to treat COVID-19, is in high demand for patients infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Herein, we report a facile approach minimizing the protecting group manipulations to afford remdesivir in good overall yield.

Preparation method of ridecevir compound

The invention belongs to the field of medicinal chemistry, and particularly relates to a novel synthesis and preparation method of a ridecevir compound. (2R, 3R, 4R, 5R)-2-(4-aminopyrrole[2, 1-f][1, 2, 4]triazin-7-yl)-3, 4-dihydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-2-nitrile is taken as an initial raw material, and is subjected to ketal protection, BC protection, resolution, phosphorylation reaction, substitution reaction and deprotection reaction to prepare ridecevir. The method has the advantages of mild and easily-controlled reaction conditions, simple operation, high product yield and high purity, and is suitable for industrial mass production.

ISOMORPHS OF REMDESIVIR AND METHODS FOR SYNTHESIS OF SAME
