Learning from COVID-19 : How drug hunters can prepare for the next pandemic

Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved..

Over 3 years, the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic killed nearly 7 million people and infected more than 767 million globally. During this time, our very small company was able to contribute to antiviral drug discovery efforts through global collaborations with other researchers, which enabled the identification and repurposing of multiple molecules with activity against SARS-CoV-2 including pyronaridine tetraphosphate, tilorone, quinacrine, vandetanib, lumefantrine, cetylpyridinium chloride, raloxifene, carvedilol, olmutinib, dacomitinib, crizotinib, and bosutinib. We highlight some of the key findings from this experience of using different computational and experimental strategies, and detail some of the challenges and strategies for how we might better prepare for the next pandemic so that potential antiviral treatments are available for future outbreaks.
