Efficient incorporation and template-dependent polymerase inhibition are major determinants for the broad-spectrum antiviral activity of remdesivir

Calvin J. Gordon et al.

Summary: The antiviral effects of Remdesivir (RDV) are strongly correlated with its efficient incorporation of RDV-TP. Inhibition in primer extension reactions is often inefficient at higher NTP concentrations, while template-dependent inhibition of UTP incorporation opposite the embedded RDV-MP is seen with all polymerases.

Omicron escapes the majority of existing SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies

Yunlong Cao et al.

Summary: The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 contains 15 mutations in the receptor-binding domain, leading to evasion of over 85% of tested neutralizing antibodies. Different epitope groups of neutralizing antibodies are affected to varying degrees by single mutations of Omicron. Antibodies targeting the conserved region of sarbecovirus remain most effective against Omicron.

Neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron by BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine-elicited human sera

Alexander Muik et al.

Summary: This study tested the neutralizing ability of sera from participants who received two or three doses of the BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccine against different SARS-CoV-2 variants. The results showed that after two doses, the neutralizing ability against Omicron was significantly reduced, but a third dose effectively increased the neutralizing ability. This suggests that three doses of the vaccine may provide protection against Omicron-mediated COVID-19.

Inhaled remdesivir reduces viral burden in a nonhuman primate model of SARS-CoV-2 infection

Meghan S. Vermillion et al.

Summary: The pharmacokinetics and efficacy of inhaled Remdesivir (RDV) were investigated in African green monkeys (AGM). Inhalation RDV dosing produced comparable concentrations of the active triphosphate in lower respiratory tract tissues compared to intravenous RDV dosing but resulted in lower systemic exposures. An efficacy study in AGM showed reductions in viral replication in respiratory tract tissues with inhaled RDV dosing, which was similar to intravenous RDV dosing.

SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant shows less efficient replication and fusion activity when compared with Delta variant in TMPRSS2-expressed cells

Hanjun Zhao et al.

Summary: The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 has distinct virological characteristics compared to the Delta variant. It replicates more slowly and its entry pathway is mediated primarily through the endocytic pathway instead of TMPRSS2 pathway. This difference in entry pathway may have implications for the clinical manifestations or severity of the disease.

The coronavirus proofreading exoribonuclease mediates extensive viral recombination

Jennifer Gribble et al.

Summary: Recombination is essential for coronavirus diversity and the emergence of new strains. The mechanisms of CoV recombination are not well understood, but studies have shown extensive and diverse recombination products in CoVs during replication. The nsp14-ExoN protein is crucial for native recombination in CoVs, highlighting its potential as a target for inhibitors to control SARS-CoV-2 and future emerging zoonotic CoVs.

Engineering SARS-CoV-2 using a reverse genetic system

Xuping Xie et al.

Summary: Reverse genetic system for SARS-CoV-2 is essential for studying viruses, developing vaccines, and screening antiviral drugs. However, manipulating the system is complex due to the large size of the coronavirus genome and toxic genomic elements, requiring a meticulous six-step process. Mastering this system will accelerate COVID-19 research across different scientific fields.

Oral prodrug of remdesivir parent GS-441524 is efficacious against SARS-CoV-2 in ferrets

Robert M. Cox et al.

Summary: Remdesivir is an antiviral drug approved for COVID-19 treatment, but its intravenous administration limits wider use. A study has shown that GS-621763, an oral prodrug of remdesivir parent nucleoside GS-441524, has good oral bioavailability and inhibits SARS-CoV-2 and variants of concern in ferrets, demonstrating therapeutic efficacy in a relevant animal model of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Emergence and rapid transmission of SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.7 in the United States

Nicole L. Washington et al.

Summary: The highly transmissible B.1.1.7 variant of SARS-CoV-2, first identified in the United Kingdom, has been spreading in the United States with multiple introductions as early as late November 2020. The variant shows a logistic growth rate with roughly weekly doubling and increased transmission, requiring immediate action to minimize COVID-19 morbidity and mortality.

Prodrugs of a 1′-CN-4-Aza-7,9-dideazaadenosine C-Nucleoside Leading to the Discovery of Remdesivir (GS-5734) as a Potent Inhibitor of Respiratory Syncytial Virus with Efficacy in the African Green Monkey Model of RSV

Richard L. Mackman et al.

Summary: A discovery program identified C-nucleoside 4 as a potential lead compound for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which led to the discovery of the more potent drug remdesivir. In vitro metabolism studies confirmed the rapid formation of the active metabolite 1-NTP, and in vivo studies in monkeys showed significant reduction in lung viral load following administration of remdesivir. These early data supported the potential of remdesivir as a novel treatment for RSV prior to its development for other diseases.

A robust SARS-CoV-2 replication model in primary human epithelial cells at the air liquid interface to assess antiviral agents

Thuc Nguyen Dan Do et al.

Summary: In this study, using in vitro models of human airway epithelial cells, it was found that remdesivir, GS-441524, EIDD-1931, and IFN showed dose-dependent inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 viral replication, while AT-511 did not inhibit viral replication as expected. These results provide a reference for further screening of SARS-CoV-2 inhibitors.

In vitro selection of Remdesivir resistance suggests evolutionary predictability of SARS-CoV-2

Agnieszka M. Szemiel et al.

Summary: This study selected drug-resistant SARS-CoV-2 populations with decreased sensitivity to remdesivir (RDV) in vitro, identifying a mutation in NSP12 that decreases RDV sensitivity. There is no evidence of widespread transmission of RDV-resistant mutants among globally circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants. Additionally, emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants showed substitutions at Spike sites corresponding to those identified in vitro, indicating their potential to arise without immune selection.

Assignment of epidemiological lineages in an emerging pandemic using the pangolin tool

Aine O'Toole et al.

Summary: The global virus genomics community has responded unprecedentedly to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, leading to significant advances in 'real-time' generation and sharing of genomic data. The development of new analytical methods, such as pangolin, has been necessary to handle the rapid growth in virus genome data production. Pangolin has processed nearly two million virus genomes, aiding in SARS-CoV-2 genomic epidemiology and providing researchers with valuable information about the pandemic's transmission lineages.

Changing composition of SARS-CoV-2 lineages and rise of Delta variant in England

Swapnil Mishra et al.

Summary: Since late March 2021, the percentage of non-B.1.1.7 variants has been increasing in London and other English regions, driven by a variety of lineages with immune escape. From mid-April, B.1.617.2 (WHO label Delta) spread rapidly, becoming the dominant variant in England by late May. The competition between variants and the rise of non-B.1.1.7 variants underscore the importance of diverse data sources in community surveillance for early detection of new variants.

Beneficial effect of combinational methylprednisolone and remdesivir in hamster model of SARS-CoV-2 infection

Summary: Research shows that methylprednisolone alone and in combination with remdesivir have beneficial effects in the hamster model of SARS-CoV-2 infection, preventing weight loss, inflammation, and reducing viral loads. Combining anti-inflammatory and antiviral therapy may offer a more effective and safer treatment option for COVID-19, supporting further clinical trials to test the efficacy of methylprednisolone and remdesivir combination therapy.
