Comment: Remdesivir (GS-5734) is a nucleotide analogue drug that was developed by Gilead Sciences for antiviral potential, in particular for anti-Ebola and anti-Marburg virus activity [7]. It acts is an inhibitor of the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) that functions as a chain terminator during viral RNA synthesis. Remdesivir is a prodrug whose major active metabolite is GS-441524. Its 1'-CN group and C-linked nucleobase ensure optimal anti-Ebola potency and selectivity against host polymerase enzymes. Remdesivir has broad-spectrum activity against several viral families such as filoviruses, paramyxoviruses, and coronaviruses, and including the SARS and MERS coronaviruses (CoVs), endemic circulating human CoVs, and against SARS-CoV-2 [1-2,6]. The first patient to test positive for SARS-CoV-2 in the US was treated with i.v. remdesivir (using compassionate use of an investigational therapy prescribing) and his clinical condition improved significantly within the next 24h without observation of adverse effects [4].

2D Structure

An image of the ligand's 2D structure. For small molecules with SMILES these are drawn using the NCI/CADD Chemical Identifier Resolver. Click on the image to access the chemical structure search tool with the ligand pre-loaded in the structure editor. For other types of ligands, e.g. longer nucleotides and peptides, a manually drawn representation of the molecule may be provided.

Physico-chemical Properties

Calculated molecular properties are available for small molecules and natural products (not peptides). Properties were generated using the Chemistry Development Kit (CDK) (Willighagen EL et al. Journal of Cheminformatics vol. 9:33. 2017, doi:10.1186/s13321-017-0220-4; https://cdk.github.io/). All properties were selected to enable the prediction of the Lipinski Rule-of-Five profile or ‘druglikeness’ for each ligand. For more info on each category see the help pages.

SMILES / InChI / InChIKey

SMILES (Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry Specification) A specification for unambiguously describing the structure of chemical molecules using short ASCII strings. Canonical SMILES specify a unique representation of the 2D structure without chiral or isotopic specifications. Isomeric SMILES include chiral specification and isotopes.

Standard InChI (IUPAC International Chemical Identifier) and InChIKey InChI is a non-proprietary, standard, textual identifier for chemical substances designed to facilitate linking of information and database searching. An InChIKey is a simplified version of a full InChI, designed for easier web searching.
