Ascletis Pharma Inc. announces that the company has filed an IND application with the FDA for ASC-10, an oral antiviral drug candidate targeting viral polymerase of monkeypox virus.
Shanghai Jemincare Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. and Jiangxi Jemincare Group Co. Ltd. have patented compounds reported to be useful for the treatment of fungal infections.
Researchers from Emory University have discovered a novel broadly neutralizing SARS-CoV-2 antibody, 002-S21F2, being developed as a potential anti-coronavirus therapeutic.
At the Saturday, Oct. 22 session, ‘Basic Science: Correlates of protection, immune response and the host-microbe interaction,’ of the IDWeek 2022 infectious disease conference, moderator Luiz Bermudez, professor at Oregon State University, introduced the latest advances to prevent infections with Treponema pallidum during neurosyphilis (NS), Staphylococcus aureus and osteomyelitis, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis during influenza.

The U.K. is launching a coordinated national program of research into the unprecedented outbreak of monkeypox that has spread across Europe and North America – regions where the disease is not endemic – over the past six months. Taking a lead from the SARS-CoV-2 playbook, there will be work to sequence the viral genome and to study how it is evolving, linking this to changes in the transmission and pathology of the virus.
A group of scientists from The Ohio State University (OSU) in collaboration with the University of Chicago has found that targeting the enzyme NSUN2 could be used against a wide range of viruses. Its deficiency could stop infection by inhibiting gene expression and viral replication.
