Antiviral Drug Discovery To Address the COVID-19 Pandemic 2020-09-25 .txt text/plain 1520 70 35 Regardless of whether or when a vaccine becomes available, antivirals for SARS-CoV-2 will still be needed for several reasons: the unlikelihood that a vaccine will be 100% effective, the incompleteness of vaccine coverage because of both vaccine hesitancy and the numerous logistical challenges to accomplishing prompt large-scale immunization of the majority of the population, the possibility of limited durability of vaccine protection, the need for additional prophylaxis for high-risk subjects and poor vaccine responders, and the future value of effective antiviral treatment for Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and new coronaviruses that will likely emerge from zoonoses. suggest that the purported activity against SARS-CoV-2 of the two HIV protease inhibitors, lopinavir and nelfinavir, is probably attributable to cellular toxicity. Structurebased design of antiviral drug candidates targeting the SARS-CoV-2 main protease AT-527 is a potent in vitro replication inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic ./cache/cord-352096-cc3dzycl.txt ./txt/cord-352096-cc3dzycl.txt
