QIMR Berghofer scientists develop new drugs to fight COVID-19
Scientists from QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute in Queensland have developed two new drugs to both prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection, and also treat people who have been exposed to the virus so they do not develop severe disease.
The peptide-based drugs are now being tested in hamsters at France’s pre-clinical and clinical research facility, IDMIT, with promising early results showing they are not toxic and have few side effects. The drugs are also stable and can be stored at room temperature – which would make them easy to distribute.
The study findings have been published overnight in the prestigious journal Nature Cell Discovery.
