A coronavirus vaccine that will stop the pandemic once and for all. The whole world is hoping for that. Science is not there yet. But now there are new active ingredients that slow down the virus.
Hope for a soon Coronavirus vaccine in the fight against the lung disease Covid-19, triggered by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, is currently driving the world’s population to continue despite all the circumstances. Now there is a new way of at least slowing down the spread of the coronavirus. An American research team has presented a broad spectrum antiviral agent that is said to be effective against several coronaviruses, including SARS-1, MERS and SARS-CoV-2. This is behind the promising find for a new drug.
Coronavirus vaccine soon at your fingertips
In the renowned journal “Science Translational Medicine” researchers from the American Association for the Advancement of Science published study results on a coronavirus vaccine that give rise to hope. A new broad-spectrum antiviral agent against coronaviruses is presented. According to the study, these active ingredients should neutralize coronaviruses in human airway cells that were already contaminated with Covid-19. This is a real breakthrough for Athri Rathnayake’s team, who have also been able to demonstrate higher chances of survival in infected mice. It’s the best route to a coronavirus vaccine.
Athri Rathnayake heads the research unit looking at antiviral compounds identified as 3C-like protease inhibitors (3CLpro). Molecules of this type are said to inhibit certain enzymes, which in turn is supposed to prevent the breakdown of certain proteins. And it is precisely these enzymes that are necessary for the constant replication of viruses.
Two active ingredients could make coronavirus vaccine possible
We are currently talking about two active ingredients that have a strong resistance to SARS-CoV-2. The substance called 6e is supposed to ensure that the viruses multiply ten times more slowly in human cells. Meanwhile, 6j increased the chances of survival of mice infected with a close relative of SARS-CoV-2, the MERS virus. The scientists believe that this series of experiments will be an elementary step towards a coronavirus vaccine for the masses to have.
With these A coronavirus vaccine may not work for people. Coming an antidote to the UK coronavirus? Therefore show these women have particularly severe coronavirus symptoms.
