RNA: The most attractive target in recent viral diseases
Amgad M. Rabie
Abstract:As an expert in the field of drug design and discovery, I tried, in this up‐to‐date perspective or commentary article, to recap and shed light on the previous and latest revolutionary strategies employed in medicinal and therapeutic chemistry to target the principal viral weapon used by virulent RNA viruses (e.g., the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 “SARS‐CoV‐2”) to infect humans and spread infections, the genomic RNA strands. These strategies act by taking advantage of the weakness points of t… Show more
