Enanta Pharmaceuticals Inc. has patented compounds acting as nonstructural protein 3 (nsp3, PL-pro; SARS-CoV-2) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of asthma, SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19), rhinovirus, norovirus and lung infections.
Muscle fatigue associated with brain inflammation could be prevented by modulating certain cytokines. Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL) have studied inflammation in the CNS in infection models of Escherichia coli, SARS-CoV-2 and amyloid-β toxicity, unveiling its impact on motor function, the role of IL-6 in this process and how to mitigate it in chronic disease.
Researchers from Children’s Hospital Boston and affiliated organizations have reported the discovery and preclinical characterization of a novel TLR7/8 agonist adjuvant for vaccination, PVP-037.
Pfizer Inc. has identified nonstructural protein 3 (nsp3; PLpro) (SARS-CoV-2; COVID-19 virus) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection.
New research has pinpointed gene signatures that determine what immune responses will be activated in the development of sepsis, pointing to novel targets and opening the way for the stratification of clinical trials and for patients to be treated on the basis of their immune response, rather than their symptoms.
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC has described 3C-like proteinase (3CLpro; Mpro; nsp5) (SARS-CoV-2; COVID-19 virus) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19).
