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.
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.
Limmatech Biologics AG and Abvacc Inc. have entered into a license agreement that grants Limmatech the exclusive rights to further develop Abvacc’s multivalent toxoid vaccine candidate, LBT-SA7 (formerly IBT-V02), designed to prevent infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus.
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).
Recce Pharmaceuticals Ltd. has announced preclinical results from an in vivo study evaluating the antibacterial efficacy of its lead synthetic anti-infective candidate, R-327 (RECCE-327), against Neisseria gonorrhoeae in a mouse vaginal infection model.
