Targeting a human protein may stop Ebola virus in its tracks

The Pharma Data

To treat Ebola virus infections, researchers are taking a close look at a key piece of the virus: polymerase. Polymerase is a viral protein that directs how Ebola virus replicates its genome as it infects new hosts. Drugs that target polymerase could potentially treat Ebola virus infections and save lives.

Therapeutic frontiers: the potential of RRx-001 and AdAPT-001

Drug Target Review

However, in tissues where the 3 Hs are not present, the small molecule has anti-toxicity activity through 1) direct inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome, an inflammation starter and perpetuator, and 2) upregulation of the master antioxidant transcription factor, Nrf2.

Sosei Heptares’ COVID-19 Program Identifies Potent Broad Spectrum Anti-Viral Small Molecules for Further Development

The Pharma Data

The Company is also aiming to leverage the highly conserved structure of the SARS-CoV-2 M pro protease as a basis for the design of novel oral small molecules against predicted future variants of SARS-CoV-2 and other related human viruses.

Looking beyond traditional oncogenic pathways to break cancer resistance

Drug Target Review

Applying our technology has enabled us to develop a new small molecule, TT125-802, and to assign a new role to the epigenetic regulator CBP/p300 as a novel master regulator of non-oncogene resistance. This orally available small molecule binds to the bromodomain of CBP/p300 in a highly specific manner.

Novel nasal spray reduces COVID-19 viral replication in animal study

The Pharma Data

It is a synthetic small molecule that would be self-administered via nasal spray, taken once or twice a week for the prevention of COVID-19. If all goes to plan in upcoming toxicity studies and regulatory approval, the company is hoping to be ready to test INNA-051 in human trials in less than four months. Source link.
