Remdesivir is an antiviral drug showed broad spectrum against viruses, also RNA polymerase inhibitor that’s why use to treat a variety of RNA virus infections. It is considered to be more effective against family of respiratory infection causing viruses including corona virus as compared to those whom it was originally synthesized like Hepatitis C and common cold viruses. On October 8, 2020, The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases has completed trials on COVID-19 patients and found Remdesivir satisfactory and beneficiary choice towards the recovery stairs of COVID-19. The pandemic of Covid-19 might wean down by season, but the possibility of reoccurrence exists. Thus, future clearance of Remdesivir might be critical for ensuring effective treatment, diminish mortality and permit early release.

This review summarizes published reports on the utility of melatonin as a treatment for virus-mediated diseases. Of special note are the data related to the role of melatonin in influencing Ebola virus disease. This infection and deadly condition has no effective treatment and the published works documenting the ability of melatonin to attenuate the severity of viral infections generally and Ebola infection specifically are considered. The capacity of melatonin to prevent one of the major complications of an Ebola infection, i.e., the hemorrhagic shock syndrome, which often contributes to the high mortality rate, is noteworthy. Considering the high safety profile of melatonin, the fact that it is easily produced, inexpensive and can be self-administered makes it an attractive potential treatment for Ebola virus pathology.
