Combating enterovirus replication: state-of-the-art on antiviral research.

TLDR
Several viral proteins, such as the viral 3C protease, the putative 2C helicase and the 3D RNA-dependent RNA polymerase may be/are excellent targets for inhibition of viral replication.

The life cycle of non-polio enteroviruses and how to target it.

TL;DR: This Review summarizes recent insights from enterovirus research with a special emphasis on NPEVs, and reflects on how recent discoveries may help in the development of new antiviral strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Niclosamide is a proton carrier and targets acidic endosomes with broad antiviral effects.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that physico-chemical interference with host pathways has broad range antiviral effects, and provides a proof of concept for the development of host-directed antivirals.
Journal ArticleDOI

The enteroviruses: problems in need of treatments.

TL;DR: Poliomyelitis, EV 71 neurologic disease, and neonatal EV disease are three manifestations of EV infections that exemplify the importance of developing antivirals for EV infections and illustrate why development of antiviral medications for EVs infections is a medically important need.

Structure of a human common cold virus and functional relationship to other picornaviruses

TL;DR: The first atomic resolution structure of an animal virus, human rhinovirus 14, strikingly similar to known icosahedral plant RNA viruses, and four neutralizing immunogenic regions have been identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

The broad-spectrum antiviral ribonucleoside ribavirin is an RNA virus mutagen.

TL;DR: In vitro use of ribavirin triphosphate by a model viral RNA polymerase, poliovirus 3Dpol, indicates that ribvirin forces the virus into `error catastrophe' and mutagenic ribonucleosides may represent an important class of anti-RNA virus agents.

Evolutionary families of peptidase inhibitors.

TL;DR: A system wherein the inhibitor units of the peptidase inhibitors are assigned to 48 families on the basis of similarities detectable at the level of amino acid sequence, and a simple system of nomenclature is introduced for reference to each clan, family and inhibitor.
