A Mechanistic Paradigm for Broad-Spectrum Antivirals that Target Virus-Cell Fusion

LJ001 is a lipophilic thiazolidine derivative that inhibits the entry of numerous enveloped viruses at non-cytotoxic concentrations (IC50≤0.5 µM), and was posited to exploit the physiological difference between static viral membranes and biogenic cellular membranes. We now report on the molecular me...
