Mammals have complex biological systems and are constantly prone to infections by a wide array of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites, a significant challenge to the constant development of disease-strains resistance to current drugs. 1 As a result, there is always a need to identify new anti-infective agents against these organisms. An anti-infective agent is defined by Webster as “an agent capable of acting against an infection, by inhibiting the spread of an infectious agent or by killing the infectious agent outright”. 2 Some of the emerging and drug-resistant infectious diseases having research priority are human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or AIDS, hepatitis B and C viruses, respiratory infections such as influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and dengue fever. 1 Figures 1 and 2 provide us with the data in regards to the mortality and incidence rates, respectively, of people with viral diseases. 3− 5
