Atomic resolution of the broad-spectrum antiviral drug cascade to facilitate the design of antiviral drugs
Bemnifosbuvir, a guanosine analogue, is in clinical trials against the Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). This compound undergoes a series of five cellular modifications to transform into its active triphosphate form, AT-9010. The rate-limiting step in the activation pathway involves the histidine triad nucleotide phosphoramidase (HINT1). Structural analysis reveals that HINT1, when complexed with the Bemnifosbuvir intermediate (AT-8003) Credit: François Ferron (CC-BY 4.0, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
