The future outlook for mRNA therapies

Drug Discovery World

Reece Armstrong explores the potential and future opportunities for mRNA-based therapies. For instance, consider how at the end of 2018, the mRNA therapies market was valued at $3.43 mRNA-based approaches can produce proteins / peptides by using protein synthesis which is processed in a transfected cell 1.

Targeting a human protein may stop Ebola virus in its tracks

The Pharma Data

In fact, antiviral therapies designed to treat viruses such as hepatitis C (Sofosbuvir/SOVALDI) work by blocking viral polymerase. Back in 2018, researchers tested a broad-spectrum antiviral candidate called remdesivir/VEKLURY, which acts as a nucleotide decoy to get incorporated into the viral RNA genome and stop viral polymerase. .
