LJ-001 is an experimental antiviral agent against various enveloped RNA viruses .

properties

LJ-001 is effective against the influenza A virus , filoviruses such as the ebola virus , smallpox viruses , arenaviruses , bunyaviruses , paramyxoviruses , flaviviruses and HIV . by inhibiting cell entry ( entry inhibitor ) after adsorption on the cell surface and before fusion with the endosome membrane . In addition, LJ-001 leads to the formation of oxygen radicals , which damage the virus envelope . LJ-001 was discontinued due to instability of the molecule and the need for light to be effective. However, it serves as a lead structure in the development of a new type of antiviral drug.
