Presented by Dr. Jie Jack Li, Vice President of Discovery Chemistry at ChemPartner
Abstract:
COVID-19, an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, is now wreaking havoc in the US and around the world. Meanwhile, scientists are also making strides against the invisible enemy. Most notable are the recent success of remdesivir and demethasone.
This webinar, given from a chemist’s perspective, covers the discovery, mechanism of action, and synthesis of remdesivir and demethasone. It is most relevant to medicinal and process chemists. But anyone interested in drug discovery will find it highly informational as well.
