Remdesivir is a prodrug that converts to GS-441524 in the body.

By most anecdotal accounts GS-441524 is better and possibly safer. And its readily available on the black market for treatment of cat FIP because apparently its much easier to make than Remdesivir.

So yes, probably the only reason Remdesivir exists is patents
