Last week, we discussed Merck & Co.’s pill intended to treat coronaviruses. Well, according to a recent article from The Hill, Pfizer has one now too. The treatment is a protease inhibitory similar to those used to treat HIV and hepatitis C. It binds to the viral enzyme and prevents it from replicating in the cell. Pfizer has begun preclinical studies, which have demonstrated “potent in vitro anti-viral activity against SARS-CoV-2, as well as activity against other coronaviruses.”
