Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues:
The new coronavirus (COVID-19) infection has seriously affected our daily life. At present, there is no specific drug for this virus, and vaccine production is not yet ready. Therefore, existing antiviral drugs and traditional Chinese medicines are being tested for their antiviral potential.
This Special Issue calls for reviews and original articles on the current status of specific drug development, the possibly efficacy of existing and newly synthesized antiviral drugs, and search of nonspecific antiviral substances from natural resources.
Prof. Dr. Hiroshi Sakagami
Guest Editor
