Deuremidevir hydrobromide tablets and simnotrelvir tablets/ritonavir tablets (co-packaged) were approved by the Chinese National Medical Products Administration for the treatment of mild to moderate COVID-19 in January 2023. Both formulations contain small-molecule anti-SARS-CoV-2 agents. Deuremidevir, an oral nucleoside analog, is a broad-spectrum virus replication inhibitor targeting the highly conserved RNAdependent RNA polymerase. Simnotrelvir−ritonavir is a copackaged combination drug consisting of simnotrelvir tablets and ritonavir tablets. Simnotrelvir is an oral antiviral agent targeting the 3-chymotrypsin-like protease, which is essential for SARS-CoV-2 viral replication. Previous clinical trials revealed that both deuremidevir and simnotrelvir−ritonavir were effective and well tolerated in the treatment of COVID-19.
