Antivirals With Activity Against Monkeypox: A Clinically Oriented Review

Emily A. Siegrist et al.

Summary: This review provides an overview of the basic pharmacology, animal data, and human data for three antivirals (cidofovir, brincidofovir, and tecovirimat) with activity against monkeypox virus. These antiviral agents have shown varying degrees of efficacy against monkeypox and other orthopoxviruses, highlighting their potential importance in the research and treatment of monkeypox virus infection.

Characterization of G-Quadruplexes in Enterovirus A71 Genome and Their Interaction with G-Quadruplex Ligands

Lu Lv et al.

Summary: G-quadruplex is a stable nucleic acid secondary structure formed by the folding of guanine rich nucleic acid. The presence of G-quadruplex sequences in human enteroviruses, especially EV-A71 virus, was analyzed in this study. The G-quadruplex ligands were found to inhibit the transcription and replication of EV-A71, suggesting a novel antiviral approach. The discovery of G-quadruplexes in human enteroviruses and their potential as therapeutic targets is of great importance.

The Brighton Collaboration standardized template for collection of key information for risk/benefit assessment of a Modified Vaccinia Ankara (MVA) vaccine platform

Ariane Volkmann et al.

Summary: The Brighton Collaboration Viral Vector Vaccines Safety Working Group was formed to evaluate the safety and characteristics of live, recombinant viral vector vaccines, with a focus on the Modified Vaccinia Ankara (MVA) vector system. The MVA-BN-Filo vaccine, based on a highly attenuated poxviral vector, has been approved in the European Union and used as part of a heterologous Ebola vaccination regimen. Studies have shown a safety profile consistent with other licensed vaccines, making it a promising tool in preventing diseases from high-consequence human pathogens.

Human Papillomavirus G-Rich Regions as Potential Antiviral Drug Targets

Josue Carvalho et al.

Summary: This study reports the screening of ligands for their binding and stabilizing ability with G-quadruplexes (G4) found in human Papillomavirus (HPV) genomes. The results show that HPV G-quadruplexes exhibit structural polymorphism upon ligand binding, impacting transcription, replication, and viral protein production. Targeting HPV G4s may offer an alternative route for the development of novel antiviral therapies, as demonstrated by the significant antiviral effect of the acridine derivative C-8 in HPV18-infected organotypic raft cultures.

The Cellular Functions and Molecular Mechanisms of G-Quadruplex Unwinding Helicases in Humans

Yang Liu et al.

Summary: G-quadruplexes (G4s) are stable non-canonical secondary structures formed by G-rich DNA or RNA sequences, playing important regulatory roles in biological processes. G4 unwinding helicases are key players in G4 metabolism and function, closely linked to physiological and pathological processes. By systematically summarizing the functions and molecular mechanisms of human G4 unwinding helicases, this review provides researchers with opportunities to explore the frontiers in the functions and molecular mechanisms of human G4 unwinding helicases.

Identification and Structural Aspects of G-Quadruplex-Forming Sequences from the Influenza A Virus Genome

Maria Tomaszewska et al.

Summary: Influenza A virus (IAV) is a significant research subject due to its ability to cause seasonal epidemics and pandemics. This study focused on the presence of G-rich sequences in the IAV genome and their potential to form RNA G-quadruplex structures. The researchers identified 12 potential quadruplex-forming sequences (PQS), with three confirmed to adopt G4 structures by various biophysical methods, potentially indicating their role in virus biology.
