Abstract
• Ebola virus infection causes fulminant hemorrhagic fevers in humans with high lethality rates. • No approved treatment for ebola virus infection exists. • Antiviral research focusing on ebola virus is booming. • Approved drugs, clinical stage compounds, preclinical leads and chemical probes have shown anti-ebola virus activity. • We review >60 examples of small molecules with associated anti-ebola virus data. Ebola viruses are extremely virulent and highly transmissible. They are responsible for sporadic outbreaks of severe hemorrhagic fevers with human mortality rates of up to 90%. No prophylactic or therapeutic treatments in the form of vaccine, biologicals or small molecule, currently exist. Yet, a wealth of antiviral research on ebola virus is being generated and potential inhibitors have been identified in biological screening and medicinal chemistry programs. Here, we detail the state-of-the-art in small molecule inhibitors of ebola virus infection, with >60 examples, including approved drugs, compounds currently in clinical trials, and more exploratory leads, and summarize the associated in vitro and in vivo evidence for their effectiveness.
