China's first drug against Ebola has recently obtained
manufacturing approval as a special medication for
the People’s Liberation Army. The drug named
"JK-05" has been developed by the Institute of
Microbiology Epidemiology under Academy of
Military Medical Sciences.

For the last five years, Professor Wang Hongquan, led
a research team, studying the prevention and
treatment of the Ebola virus—one of the most
virulent viral diseases known to humankind.

"JK-05 is a micro-molecular chemical, and its
pharmacological mechanism is to selectively contain
the RNA polymerase of the Ebola virus so as to
inhibit virus replication," Academy of Military
Medical Sciences Prof. Wang Hongquan said.

According to Wang’s study JK-05 resisted the
replication of Ebola cells during cell experiments and
testing on animals.

It has also completed both pre-clinical testing and
clinical safety evaluation.

Wang stressed that the application of the drug for
Ebola treatment is only allowed in emergency
situations at the present time. But the war against the
epidemic is one fought on many other fronts.

"Countries bordering the affected countries are more
likely to have people moving across. So they have to
be extra aware. But the WHO has asked all countries
in the world to be prepared in the event of an Ebola
case," WHO Spokesman Nyka Alexander said.

Over 1,500 people in West Africa have already lost
their lives to the virus. No Ebola cases have been
reported in China so far, but authorities are on guard
taking every measure possible, to shield the country
from this virulent epidemic.

This is what i'm talking about. If that Zmap was from china, i'm sure they would have flooded african market with it, instead of american nyanga we're seeing .
All hail china!

Welcome development while we await favipiravir from Japan. Kudos Asia!

hey guys don't be too quick to believe. how can it be approved when it has not being tested and confirmed to treat the virus.

I'm only waiting for Emeka, Innocent, Nnamdi and Chigozies of our country to bring in the igbolized (fake or substandard) version of JK-05.

mahyowah: hey guys don't be too quick to believe. how can it be approved when it has not being tested and confirmed to treat the virus.

Dafuq? Did you read the post? It took 5 years of extensive research to make.
