Comment: Galidesivir (BCX4430) is an adenosine analogue and broad-spectrum antiviral agent [3]. It was originally developed as a treatment for hepatitis C infection, but has subsequently demonstrated activity against Ebola, Marburg and Zika [1] viruses, and was most recently evaluated for potential to treat SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19). Mechanistically it inhibits the virus' RNA-dependent RNA-polymerase (RdRp), that acts as a nonobligate RNA chain terminator.
