Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic that originated in Wuhan city, China, has affected every village in India. This has killed millions of people. This disease involves symptomatic and asymptomatic mutations. The purpose of this review was to assess the effectiveness of remdesivir particularly against SAR-CoV-2 (Coronaviridae family). The relevant works have been studied with respect to the drug's chemistry, mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, clinical data, and side effects. Remdesivir has been used in many cases of coronavirus-infected patients because it has been proven to possess beneficial effects; however, significant adverse effects have also been reported. Remdesivir has been reported to help in lowering the disease's high fatality rate. However, the WHO has warned against using the medicine because there is no clinical data to support its therapeutic efficacy.
Keywords: Coronaviruses, COVID-19, Ebola, Nipah, remdesivir, SAR-CoV-2, US-FDA.
