Consejo Superior de Investigaciones CientÃficas (CSIC) has synthesized antiviral compounds reported to be useful for the treatment of coronavirus acute respiratory syndrome.
Current therapies for chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection can effectively suppress viral replication but do not achieve a functional or complete cure. Capsid assembly modulators inhibit the assembly of viral capsids, prevent the encapsidation of pregenomic RNA, and interfere with both the formation and amplification of covalently closed circular DNA, which is essential for viral persistence.
The Research Foundation of State University of New York and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services have jointly developed prazole-based compounds acting as H+/K+-ATPase inhibitors and thus reported to be useful for the treatment of viral infections.
Arrepath Inc. has patented new UDP-2,3-diacylglucosamine hydrolase (LpxH) (bacterial) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of gram-negative bacterial infections.
Malaria continues to exact heavy financial and socioeconomic burdens in several parts of the world, with 249 million cases and more than 630,000 deaths reported in 2022. Two-thirds of malaria-related deaths occur among children younger than 5 years.
Gilead Sciences Inc. has divulged bridged tricyclic carbamoylpyridone prodrugs acting as HIV integrase inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of HIV infection.
Researchers from the Access to Advanced Health Institute and collaborating institutions have developed a promising new bivalent vaccine candidate that can protect against both yellow fever and Zika viruses. The study demonstrates that the vaccine elicits robust humoral and cellular immune responses in mice and hamsters and provides complete protection against lethal viral challenges.
Scientists at Institut Pasteur have gained new insights into how some people control HIV-1 replication after interruption of antiretroviral treatment (ART). The investigators found a fingerprint involved in long-term viral remission.
