Unfortunate name of one of the anti-Covid drugs that some Pharmaceutical companies are apparently successfully developing in ferrets. The technical name of this antiviral is MK-4482/EIDD-2801. It is a ribonucleoside inhibitor that hinders the entry of the virus into cells by tricking it into the RNA copy. This pill and others like it that are being developed against Covid seems that they can definitely lead us to normality.
