UCLA investigators have discovered a novel, broad-spectrum small molecule inhibitor that prevents infection of lipid-enveloped viruses. It is non-cytotoxic, specifically targets the viral membrane, and has been extensively tested in vitro and in vivo.
Researchers at UCLA have identified a small molecule that specifically targets the viral membrane, is non-cytotoxic at effective antiviral concentrations and prevents infection of HIV, Ebola, Influenza A, Rift Valley Fever and all other enveloped viruses tested. MORE [2008-770]
