Drug resistance remains a major hurdle in antiviral drug development. This review highlights the “substrate envelope hypothesis”, a structure-based drug design (SBDD) paradigm that constrains the spatial boundaries and binding footprint of inhibitors within the conserved active site volume defined by natural viral subs...
Three effective countermeasures have been established: structure-based optimization of Mpro inhibitors, rational design of ExoN-evading nucleoside analogues, and synergistic combination therapies to combat emerging resistant SARS-CoV-2 variants.

The continuous evolution of SARS-CoV-2 and the emergence of drug-resistant variants underscore the urgent need for broad-spectrum antiviral agents targeting conserved viral proteins. The main protease (Mpro) represents a promising target due to its essential role in coronavirus replication. In this study, we report the...

Current capsid assembly modulators (CAMs) require improvements in antiviral potency and drug-like properties. Herein, we report a multi-objective optimization workflow for the NVR 3-778 by integrating structure-based fragment growing with systematic medicinal chemistry optimization, activity prediction, and multitask...

Future paradigms must break away from standalone F13 monotherapy and transition toward combination regimens, such as pairing F13 blockers with host-targeting entry/uncoating inhibitors─or developing multitarget inhibitors that interrupt the viral life cycle prior to IMV maturation by targeting DNA polymerase or transcr...
