TY - JOUR AU - AB - Drugs containing the heterocyclic five-membered thiadiazoles and isosteres possess a wide range of biological activities, including but not limited to, antiviral, antifungal, antihistamine, anticancer. In this study, we list the agents containing thiadiazoles and isosteres which are reported to have antiviral activity. We believe that this compilation will be a useful resource for researchers working in the field of antiviral agents.

Introduction Viruses are non-cellular, infectious organisms that invade a host cell to survive and multiply. There are many different viruses capable of infecting animal, bacterial, or plant cells, with more than 400 known to infect humans. Those capable of being transmitted to humans from insects or animals can be particularly dangerous and belong to a class of diseases defined as zoonoses. The current most dangerous virus disease Coronavirus (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus (SARS -CoV-2) that is transmitted from animal TI - Antiviral activity of thiadiazoles, oxadiazoles, triazoles and thiazoles JF - Arkivoc DO - 10.24820/ark.5550190.p011.308 DA - 2020-08-18 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/antiviral-activity-of-thiadiazoles-oxadiazoles-triazoles-and-thiazoles-UdGybZSRdC DP - DeepDyve ER -
