Editor, Senior Moderator
The influenza A virus is a contagious and severe respiratory infection that affects animals but also humans. Researchers from the University of Barcelona (UB) have synthetized some molecules which are able to block the virus that causes influenza A and some of the mutations that make it resistant to common drugs.

The team led by Santiago V?zquez, researcher at the Laboratory of Medicinal Chemistry, and the team headed by F. Javier Luque, from the Department of Physicochemistry, both from the Faculty of Pharmacy and the Institute of Biomedicine of UB (IBUB), participated in the study, published in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, of the American Chemical Society. The teams led by Lieve Naesens (Rega Institute, Leuven, Belgium), Robert A. Lamb and Lawrence H. Pinto (Northwestern University, Illinois, USA) and William F. DeGrado (University of California, San Francisco, USA) collaborated in the study too.
