Chloroquine is a potent inhibitor of SARS coronavirus infection and spread

TL;DR: Chloroquine is effective in preventing the spread of SARS CoV in cell culture and the indirect immunofluorescence assay described herein represents a simple and rapid method for screening SARS-CoV antiviral compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Therapeutic efficacy of the small molecule GS-5734 against Ebola virus in rhesus monkeys

TL;DR: These results show the first substantive post-exposure protection by a small-molecule antiviral compound against EBOV in nonhuman primates, and the broad-spectrum antiviral activity of GS-5734 in vitro against other pathogenic RNA viruses, including filoviruses, arenavirus, and coronavirus suggests the potential for wider medical use.
Journal ArticleDOI
