Это обстоятельство обусловливает настоятельную необходимость скорейшего поиска и создания химиопрепаратов прямого противовирусного действия.</p><p>В настоящей мини-обзорной статье приводится информация о химических и ферментативных методах получения молнупиравира, считающегося на сегодняшний день одним из самых перспективных лекарственных средств для терапии COVID-19. В заключении литературного обзора предлагается использовать для терапии COVID-19 не сам молнупиравир, а его липидсодержащий аналог. В связи с этим авторы сообщают о синтезе ими с помощью бактериальной фосфолипазы D 5ʹ-димиристоильного производного N4-гидроксицитидина – соединения, которое, как предполагается, более эффективно, чем молнупиравир, в отношении ингибирования репликации SARS-CoV-2.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic accompanied by the emergence of new successive pathogenic variants makes problematic the prospects of the approach based on application of exclusively prophylactic vaccines to combat SARSCoV-2. This reason motivated the urgent need in search and development of chemical formulas showing direct antiviral action.</p><p>The present mini-review provides data on chemical and enzymatic methods of producing molnupiravir regarded so far as one of the most effective pharmaceuticals for treatment of COVID-19. In conclusion of the literature survey it is suggested to administer lipid-containing analog instead of molnupiravir in COVID-19 therapeutic protocols. In this respect the authors reported the successful synthesis catalyzed by bacterial phospholipase D of 5′-dimyristoyl derivative of N4-hydroxycytidine – the compound allegedly more efficient than molnupiravir in inhibiting SARS-CoV-2 replication.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>пандемия COVID-19</kwd><kwd>химиотерапия</kwd><kwd>модифицированный нуклеозид</kwd><kwd>N4-гидроксицитидин</kwd><kwd>химический и ферментативный синтез молнупиравира</kwd><kwd>фосфолипаза D</kwd><kwd>трансфосфатидилирование</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>COVID-19 pandemic</kwd><kwd>chemotherapy</kwd><kwd>modified nucleoside</kwd><kwd>N4-hydroxycytidine</kwd><kwd>chemical and enzymatic synthesis of molnupiravir</kwd><kwd>phospholipase D</kwd><kwd>transphosphatidylation</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">COVID-19 Data Repository by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University Available at: https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19 (аccessed 05.06.2022).</mixed-citation><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">COVID-19 Data Repository by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University Available at: https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19 (аccessed 05.06.2022).</mixed-citation></citation-alternatives></ref><ref id="cit2"><label>2</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Wen W., Chen C., Tang J., Wang C., Zhou M., Cheng Y.
