Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: VV116 is an orally available, deuterated remdesivir analogue [6-7]. It is a tri-isobutyrate ester prodrug (formulated as the hydrobromide salt) that is converted to an active nucleoside triphosphate (116-NTP) that acts as a viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) inhibitor. VV116 was developed for antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2. We drew the chemical structure as represented in Xie et al. (2021) [6]. The chemical structure for VV116 was later matched to that for the INN mindeudesivir.
