Small‐Molecule Therapeutics for Ebola Virus (EBOV) Disease Treatment

Abstract: The current epidemic of Ebola virus (EBOV) hemorrhagic fever in sub‐Saharan West‐African countries, in terms of severity, is second only to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Besides the strong pathogenicity of EBOV, the unprecedented fatality rates (up to 90 %) are partially the result of a near total absence of any proper vaccines and therapeutics to combat the EBOV epidemic. This review highlights the recent progress in identification of purely chemical, small‐molecule drugs of considerable potential t… Show more

“…Cytosine, thymine and uracil nucleobases are pyrimidine derivatives. Important pharmacophores based on the pyrimidine scaffold include drugs such as the anti‐HIV compound zidovudine, the antimalarials pyrimethamine and trimethoprim, anti‐ebola agents cidofovir and brincidofovir, and the antihypertensive minoxidil . The luminescence properties of pyrimidine derivatives began to be studied in the early 2000′s and the number of articles related to this subject has increased every year since.…”
