Discarded GlaxoSmithKline Drug Fights Two Disease-Causing Viruses In Lab
Researchers have discovered that a drug that was discarded by pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline due to its side effects that were observed in clinical trials helps human cells fight disease-causing viruses.
In lab tests, the drug GSK983 was found to help cells fight mosquito-borne viruses that cause dengue fever and Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV), which can infect horses and kill people.
