The present disclosure relates to compounds and compositions for use in treating disease, such as viral infection. As disclosed herein, the compounds include an “NMN-like” moiety linked to another moiety with biological activity upon administration. In some cases, the disease to be treated is infection with viruses. Such viruses include coronaviruses, such as SARS, MERS, or COVID-19, HIV, and viruses associated with hepatitis. Further, the invention relates to methods of using such compounds or compositions to promote the increase of intracellular levels of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) in cells and tissues for treating diseases and/or improving cell and tissue survival. |
