Schrodinger Inc. and Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. have identified 3C-like proteinase (3CLpro; Mpro; nsp5) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of coronavirus acute respiratory syndrome.
Emory University has identified 3C-like proteinase (3CLpro; Mpro; nsp5) (SARS-CoV-2; COVID-19 virus) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19).
Exevir Bio BV has demonstrated that its antibodies are potent in neutralizing the SARS-CoV-2 variant JN.1, the parental strain of the currently most dominantly circulating variants worldwide.
The Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Suzhou Vigonvita Life Sciences Co. Ltd. and the Wuhan Institute of Virology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have divulged 3C-like proteinase (3CLpro; Mpro; nsp5) (SARS-CoV-2; COVID-19 virus) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19).
Leyden Laboratories BV has patented polypeptides acting as spike glycoprotein (S) (SARS-CoV-2; COVID-19 virus) ligands reported to be useful for the treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infections.
Researchers at F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. have synthesized 3C-like proteinase (3CLpro, Mpro) (coronavirus) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of coronavirus acute respiratory syndrome infections.
There is still a need for developing more potent and broadly neutralizing vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 with improved durability. At the recent ESCMID meeting, Astrazeneca plc presented a new mRNA vaccine against the SARS-CoV-2 virus that encodes for self-assembling virus-like particle (VLP) antigens.
In a study from the PHOSP-COVID and ISARIC-4C consortia in the U.K., researchers have discovered inflammatory processes taking place during what is termed “long COVID.” Long COVID is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the continuation or development of new symptoms for 3 or more months after the initial SARS-CoV-2 infection. It is estimated that 1 in 10 SARS-CoV-2 infections results in long COVID, thus affecting about 65 million people worldwide.
SARS-CoV-2 could proliferate in the lungs causing severe COVID-19 through a special type of immune cell. A group of scientists from Stanford University observed how this coronavirus infected interstitial macrophages through a CD209 receptor, triggering the inflammatory response observed in hospitalized patients.
Researchers at Schrodinger Inc. and Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. have described 3C-like proteinase (3CLpro; Mpro; nsp5) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of coronavirus acute respiratory syndrome.
