TerraBase Inc.'s COVID-19 Virus Generosity,
Chloroquine mustard, an anti-viral agent
TerraBase Inc. has just announced a committment to foster R&D on the COVID-19 virus by temporarily reducing the prices for their TerraTOX™ databases and TerraQSAR™
AI-based quantitative structure-activity (QSAR) programs. For example, the TerraTOX™ Explorer database lists 2650+ antimalarial compounds, including several
chloroquine-type structures that are currently explored for their antiviral activity. Specifically, chloroquine-type and other antimalarial materials were recently mentioned by U.S. President
D. Trump as promising agents against the COVID-19 virus and are currently explored for their antiviral, potentially anti-COVID-19 virus effects.
For details, see the TerraBase Inc. web site for Antimalarials and related information.
