                  Professor Inoue of University of Tokyo, announce the identification of a new coronavirus drug candidate

                  Professor Junichiro Inoue and his colleagues at the University of Tokyo's Institute of Medical Science held a press conference on April 18 and announced that they had identified nafamostat. Nafamostat has been used for more than 30 years in Japan, and early clinical trials are expected to be conducted. The clinical research is expected to start by the beginning of April in cooperation with the National Center for Global Health and Medicine and others. When the new corona infects humans, proteins on the surface of the virus and proteins on the surface of human cells bind to each other, causing the outer membrane of the virus to fuse with the membrane of human cells. As a result, ribonucleic acid (RNA), which is the genetic information of the new corona, enters the human cell, and the virus multiplies.
