Scientists uncover potential antiviral treatment for Covid-19

Researchers from the University of Nottingham have discovered a novel antiviral property of a drug that could have major implications in how future epidemics / pandemics – including Covid-19 – are managed. The study, published in Viruses*, shows that thapsigargin is a promising broad‑spectrum antiviral, highly effective against Covid-19 virus (SARS-CoV-2), a common cold coronavirus, respiratory syncytial […]
