Ibuprofen And Cancer Drug Toremifene Can ‘Disable’ Ebola Virus, Researchers Say

In a new research, scientists said the painkiller ibuprofen and the chemotherapy drug toremifene can “disable” the Ebola virus.

Oxford University’s Professor Dave Stuart, who led the research team, told the BBC, “They destabilize the protein. It [the protein] has one shot at it [infecting the host cell], and if it doesn't hit the target then those viruses would be inactivated.”
