China's 1st Ebola drug obtains manufacturing approval
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.
