Iota-carrageenan from red seaweed inhibits SARS-CoV-2 in laboratory conditions
By A Mystery Man Writer
Description
In a recent bioRxiv paper, a research group from the Marinomed Biotech biopharmaceutical company in Austria showed that a sulfated polysaccharide iota-carrageenan has the propensity to inhibit cell entry of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) by using an in vitro neutralization assay.
