About Sunshine Biopharma's Coronavirus Treatment

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the causative agent of COVID-19, the current ongoing pandemic that has claimed the lives of over 920,000 people worldwide since it first appeared in December 2019.

More recently, Sunshine Biopharma announced that it has completed the synthesis of four such molecules and is currently testing their inhibitory activity on SARS-Cov-2 proteases in order to identify a lead compound for further development as a specific drug for treatment of COVID-19.
