Respiratory syncytial virus: recent progress towards the discovery of effective prophylactic and therapeutic agents.

Abstract:

:Although respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was discovered in 1955, the burden associated with this infectious agent on all population groups is only now beginning to be fully appreciated. The successful launch of the humanized monoclonal antibody Synagis (developed by MedImmune, Gaithersburg, MD, USA), as a prophylactic in September 1998 has helped to heighten awareness of the extent of mortality and morbidity associated with annual RSV epidemics. Small, drug-like molecules that would provide the clinician with effective and conveniently administered prophylactic and therapeutic agents for the prevention and treatment of RSV have not yet advanced into clinical studies. This review will summarize recent developments in the area of RSV drug discovery and development.
