Scientists at the Université de Montréal's affiliated Montreal Clinical Research Institute (IRCM) have identified a new family of natural molecules with strong antiviral activity, notably against the Ebola virus and SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19. The discovery comes at a time of renewed fears of the rapid emergence of new pandemics, and highlights the ongoing search at the IRCM for novel antiviral agents derived from natural sources.
