Efficacy and safety of three new oral antiviral treatment (molnupiravir, fluvoxamine and Paxlovid) for COVID-19: a meta-analysis

Wen Wen et al.

Summary: This study conducted a meta-analysis on three new oral antivirals (molnupiravir, fluvoxamine, and Paxlovid) and their effects on mortality and hospitalization rates among COVID-19 patients. The results showed that these drugs were effective in reducing mortality and hospitalization rates by approximately 67%. Furthermore, the drugs did not increase adverse events, indicating good overall safety.

Omicron Variant (B.1.1.529): Infectivity, Vaccine Breakthrough, and Antibody Resistance

Jiahui Chen et al.

Summary: The Omicron variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus has caused global panic due to its high infectivity and ability to escape vaccines. A comprehensive analysis using an artificial intelligence model and antibody structure analysis reveals that Omicron may be over 10 times more contagious than the original virus and has an 88% likelihood of vaccine escape. This study highlights the importance of developing mutation-proof vaccines and antibodies.

Structure-guided design of a perampanel-derived pharmacophore targeting the SARS-CoV-2 main protease

Maya G. Deshmukh et al.

Summary: This study optimized an existing FDA-approved chemical scaffold, perampanel, to noncovalently bind and inhibit M-pro, achieving IC(50)s in the low-nanomolar range and EC(50)s in the low-micromolar range. The research presented nine crystal structures of Mpro bound to a series of perampanel analogs, providing detailed structural insights into their mechanism of action and structure-activity relationship. These insights reveal strategies for rational inhibitor design efforts in the context of active-site flexibility and potential resistance mechanisms.
