Introduction
SARS-CoV-2 also known as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 or COVID-19 is a respiratory disease that is capable of progressing to viral pneumonia and can also lead to death. SARS-Cov2 relies upon RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) to replicate the viral genetic material. Drugs such as nucleoside analogues can be used to inhibit this enzyme and stop viral replication. Remdesivir initially labeled GS-5734 is an adenosine triphosphate analogue, used as a broad-spectrum antiviral drug meaning it can be used to inhibit a wide range of viruses that rely upon RNA-dependent RNA polymerase for genomic replication.
