In Development For The Treatment Of SARS-CoV-2 (Coronavirus; COVID-19)
It is believed that nitric oxide may inhibit viral replication through formation of reactive intermediates that alter the function of viral proteins in infected cells. We are exploring the use of our NITRICIL™ technology as a potential treatment option for COVID-19 and have conducted in vitro and in vivo assessments targeting the reduction of viral burden and transmission.
Program Highlights
Strong preclinical and clinical data demonstrate anti-viral effect of berdazimer sodium against multiple viruses
Results from in vitro assessment of concentrations as low as 0.75 mg/mL demonstrated berdazimer sodium reduced 90% of virus after repeat dosing, once daily
First demonstration of antiviral effect of NO-based medicine against SARS-CoV-2 in an in vitro model that mimics the human airway epithelium
Positive preclinical results demonstrating the anti-viral effect of berdazimer sodium against SARS-CoV-2 in two independent trials
Engaged Catalent, a global leader in providing integrated services, superior delivery technologies and manufacturing solutions, to develop an intranasal formulation of berdazimer sodium
Coronaviridae
Coronaviridae is a family of single-stranded, positive RNA viruses. Members of this family include coronaviruses associated with the common cold that are capable of causing mild respiratory and enteric infections in humans and other vertebrate animals. Some coronaviruses are also known to cause severe infections and diseases such as SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) and the current global pandemic of COVID-19, which is specifically caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
