Abstract
Aim: A triple epidemic of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), SARS-CoV-2 and influenza variants is on the rise worldwide. It is crucial to identify antiviral agents that can be used against all three viruses associated with this triple epidemic. Materials & methods: A total of ten antiviral agents were investigated in this study. Using molecular docking and the molecular mechanics/position-Boltzmann surface area technique, an examination of the binding affinity and protein–ligand interactions was conducted. Results: Out of the ten ligands that were compared, three showed the highest affinity for the docking site related to three the viral infections in descending order: AVG-388, remdesivir and nirmatrelvir. Conclusion: In conclusion, AVG-388, remdesivir and nirmatrelvir could be recommended as effective antiviral agents during the triple epidemic.
