Researchers led by Masahiro Niikura and Nicole Bance at Simon Fraser University have developed a new class of molecular compounds that can be used to develop more effective drugs which flu virus strains cannot easily adapt to. Their study reveals how to use their newly-discovered compounds to interrupt the enzyme neuraminidase's facilitation of the flu's spread, reports the journal Science Express.

New Class of Compounds can Lead to More Effective Drugs Against Flu
Researchers led by Masahiro Niikura and Nicole Bance at Simon Fraser University have developed a new class of molecular compounds that can be used to develop more effective drugs which flu virus strains cannot easily adapt to. Their study reveals how to use their newly-discovered compounds to interrupt the enzyme neuraminidase's facilitation of the flu's spread, reports the journal Science Express.
