Novel antiviral activity of dialdehyde starch

A significant effort worldwide is being directed toward development of novel biocides against drug-resistant bacterial and viruses because of the significant potential human infection risks in the general population. We report here the discovery of a strong antiviral biocide, dialdheyde starch (DAS)...

We report here the discovery of a strong antiviral biocide, dialdheyde starch (DAS).
