Researchers at Centre Hospitalier de Université de Montréal and University of Pennsylvania have identified compounds reported to be useful for the treatment of HIV-1 infection.
In a study published in Antiviral Research, researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences and collaborators have presented optimized nanobodies targeting the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.
A safe and effective vaccine for preventing respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a common and sometimes serious respiratory infection, had eluded biopharma for decades. But in 2023, the world saw the first – and second – vaccine hit the market.
Poolbeg Pharma plc has reported promising outputs from its lab-based analysis of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) drug targets and treatments identified as part of the company’s artificial intelligence (AI)-led program.

Researchers have used explainable artificial intelligence (explainable AI) to find structurally new antibiotics with minimal toxicity. They reported their findings online in Nature on Dec. 20, 2023. In animal testing, compounds identified via the method showed that they had activity against drug-resistant gram-positive bacteria including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), one of the most serious bacterial public health threats.
Sirnaomics Ltd.'s subsidiary Rnaimmune Inc. has received IND clearance from the FDA to begin trials of RV-1770, an mRNA vaccine targeting the human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) to prevent RSV infection in adults. Rnaimmune will conduct a phase I study of RV-1770 administered intramuscularly in healthy adults.
Nrx Pharmaceuticals Inc. has announced FDA clearance of its IND application for the use of NRX-101 (lurasidone hydrochloride/D-cycloserine) for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI).
