Researchers at the University of Toronto have created chemical compounds that can neutralize SARS-CoV-2 and several of its variants.
In a recent paper published in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, the researchers report the creation of D-peptides that neutralize the virus and stop infection of cultured human cells.
Known as mirror-image peptides, the compounds have chemical properties that make them suitable for the development of low-cost antiviral therapeutics….
