中国科学家研究助力抗疫 - 2020年04月29日

Chinese scientists are testing a self-developed complex on its potential to work against COVID-19, providing a possible new approach to the prevention and treatment of the coronavirus, according to an online science lecture.
EK1, a pan-coronavirus fusion inhibitor developed by local scientists, may be effective on COVID-19, leading researcher Jiang Shibo, a professor at the School of Basic Medical Sciences at Fudan University, said during the lecture.
Testing on mice showed that EK1 is effective in preventing and treating common coronavirus OC43 and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV). Researchers are now doing further tests in Wuhan, Jiang said.
