Tetra Bio-Pharma Inc. has reported results from a study of ARDS-003 (onternabez) combined with favipiravir against acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), sepsis and COVID-19 through PREPAiRE, an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered platform which integrates target identification, validation, lead discovery optimization, drug synthesis and preclinical testing.
Pfizer Inc. and Clear Creek Bio Inc. have entered into a research collaboration and exclusive license agreement to advance the discovery and development of potential inhibitors of the SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease (PLpro) for the oral treatment of COVID-19.
The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) has expanded its partnership with VBI Vaccines Inc. to advance the development of multivalent coronavirus vaccines that could be deployed against COVID-19 and possible future coronaviruses with pandemic potential, referred to as coronavirus X.
When a drug prevents bacteria from synthesizing their own folate, an essential compound for their survival, they take it directly from the host. This antibiotic resistance mechanism had not been detected until now because bacteria behave differently in the laboratory than they do in vivo during an infection.
George Washington University has described N-ACYL fosmidomycin prodrug analogues acting as 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate reductoisomerase (Dxr; IspC) (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) and Dxr (Plasmodium falciparum) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of malaria and tuberculosis.
Researchers at St. Louis University, Washington University in St. Louis, and Fimbrion Therapeutics Inc. have identified ubiquinol-cytochrome C reductase cytochrome b subunit (qcrB) (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of tuberculosis.
Quantbiores A/S has discovered peptides acting as spike glycoprotein (S) (SARS-CoV-2)/ACE2 interaction inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection (COVID-19).
Texas A&M University System has discovered 3C-like proteinase (3CLpro) (SARS-CoV-2; COVID-19 virus) and cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Biondvax Pharmaceuticals Ltd. has reported statistically significant efficacy results from an in vivo proof-of-concept study of its innovative inhaled nanosized antibody (NanoAb) COVID-19 therapy.
