The search for new drugs has been greatly accelerated by the emergence of new viruses and drug-resistant strains of known pathogens. Nucleoside analogues (NAs) are a prospective class of antivirals due to known safety profiles, which are important for rapid repurposing in the fight against emerging pathogens. Recent improvements in research methods have revealed new unexpected details in the mechanisms of action of NAs that can pave the way for new approaches for the further development of effective drugs. This review accounts advanced techniques in viral polymerase targeting, new viral and host enzyme targeting approaches, and prodrug-based strategies for the development of antiviral NAs.
新病毒的出现以及已知病原体耐药菌株的出现极大地加速了新药的研发进程。核苷类似物(NAs)因其已知的安全性概况而成为一类有前景的抗病毒药物,这对于在抗击新出现病原体时快速重新利用药物很重要。研究方法的最新进展揭示了核苷类似物作用机制中一些新的意外细节,这些细节可为有效药物的进一步开发提供新方法。本综述阐述了针对病毒聚合酶的先进技术、针对新型病毒和宿主酶的靶向方法以及基于前药的抗病毒核苷类似物开发策略。
