Advertisement No. NIBMG/ADMIN/ESTB/2022-23/277 Date: 07-02-2023
Position available
Project name: Antiviral Drug designing.
Brief Description:
Within the scope of this project, the carboline based viral RdRp (RNA dependent RNA polymerase)
inhibitors will be synthesized at NIPER-Kolkata. The inhibitors will be developed against RdRp of
SARS-CoV-2 virus as well as Dengue virus. The different inhibitor molecules will then be tested by
high through-put cell-based luciferase assay system for checking efficacy. Inhibitory effect of the
selected inhibitors will then be tested against live SARS-CoV-2 or Dengue virus replication. The
selected inhibitors will further be validated by using suitable animal model to check in vivo anti-viral
activity.
