Since the 2014-2016 epidemic, Ebola virus (EBOV) has spread to several countries and has become a major threat to global health. EBOV is a risk group 4 pathogen, which imposes significant obstacles for the development of countermeasures against the virus. Efforts have been made to develop anti-EBOV immunization and therapeutics, with three vaccines and two antibody-based therapeutics approved in recent years. Nonetheless, the high fatality of Ebola virus disease highlights the need to continuously develop antiviral strategies for the future management of EBOV outbreaks in conjunction with vaccination programs. This review aims to highlight potential EBOV therapeutics and their target(s) of inhibition, serving as a summary of the literature to inform readers of the novel candidates available in the continued search for EBOV antivirals.
自 2014-2016 年疫情以来,埃博拉病毒(EBOV)已传播到多个国家,成为全球健康的主要威胁。EBOV 是风险组 4 病原体,这给针对该病毒的对策的发展带来了重大障碍。人们一直在努力开发抗 EBOV 的免疫和治疗方法,近年来有三种疫苗和两种基于抗体的治疗方法获得批准。尽管如此,埃博拉病毒病的高死亡率突出表明,需要不断开发抗病毒策略,以结合疫苗接种计划,为未来的 EBOV 爆发管理做好准备。本综述旨在强调潜在的 EBOV 疗法及其抑制的靶标,作为文献综述,为读者提供在继续寻找 EBOV 抗病毒药物时可获得的新型候选药物的信息。
