This is pretty cool to see.

"There are no currently approved treatments or widely available vaccines for hantaviruses. To address this gap, the researchers tested a panel of potential drugs on their human cell model system.
They found that urolithin B — a natural compound found in certain fruits and nuts — strongly inhibited Andes virus infection. The compound also restored normal metabolism in infected cells while leaving healthy cells largely unchanged. Another compound, the antiviral medication favipiravir, already approved in Japan to treat influenza, also blocked the virus.
“Two compounds, urolithin B and favipiravir, showed real promise in blocking Andes virus,” said Nikhil Chakravarty, a co-author and medical student at California University of Science and Medicine. “It’s early work, but it points us toward the possibility of new therapies where none currently exist.”
I've always thought there was more going on about this compound than the benefits we already know about for bodybuilding and longevity. It's special stuff to say the least.
