Called fusion inhibitors, the compounds are being used with success in HIV patients...
...been looking for a way to help doctors in China since the outbreak began. When he examined the published SARS genome in mid-April, he saw his chance. Ho noticed that a gene in the coronavirus responsible for viral fusion was very similar to the same kind of gene in HIV. If peptide fusion inhibitors worked with HIV, Ho reasoned, they might work with SARS. He ordered peptides of his own design from a company in California that labored overtime to produce the compounds, some in as quick as 10 days. (The process often takes months...
