About NanoViricides
NanoViricides, Inc. (the โCompanyโ) (www.nanoviricides.com) is a publicly traded (NYSE-American, stock symbol NNVC) clinical stage company that is creating special purpose nanomaterials for antiviral therapy. The Companyโs novelย nanoviricide(TM) class of drug candidates and theย nanoviricide(TM) technology are based on intellectual property,ย technologyย and proprietaryย know-howย ofย TheraCourย Pharma, Inc. The Company has a Memorandum of Understanding withย TheraCourย for the development of drugs based on these technologies for all antiviral infections. The MoU does not include cancer and similar diseases that may have viral origin but requireย different kindsย of treatments.
The Company has obtained broad, exclusive, sub-licensable, field licenses to drugs developed in several licensed fields fromย TheraCourย Pharma, Inc. The Companyโs business model is based on licensing technology fromย TheraCourย Pharma Inc. for specific application verticals of specific viruses, asย establishedย at its foundation in 2005.
Our lead drug candidate is NV-387, a broad-spectrum antiviral drug that we plan to develop as a treatment of RSV, COVID, Long COVID, Influenza, and other respiratory viral infections, as well as MPOX/Smallpox infections. Our other advanced drug candidate is NV-HHV-1 for the treatment of Shingles. The Company cannot project an exact date for filing an IND for any of its drugs because of dependence onย a number ofย external collaborators and consultants. The Company is currently focused on advancing NV-387 into Phaseย IIย human clinical trials.
The Company is also developing drugs againstย a number ofย viral diseases including oral and genital Herpes, viral diseases of the eye including EKC and herpes keratitis, H1N1 swine flu,ย H5N1 bird flu, seasonal Influenza, HIV, Hepatitis C, Rabies, Dengue fever, and Ebola virus, among others.ย NanoViricidesโ platform technology and programs are based on theย TheraCour(R)ย nanomedicine technology ofย TheraCour, whichย TheraCourย licenses fromย AllExcel.ย NanoViricidesย holds a worldwide exclusive perpetual license to this technology for several drugs with specific targeting mechanisms in perpetuity for the treatment of the following human viral diseases: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV/AIDS), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), Rabies, Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1 and HSV-2), Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV), Influenza and Asian Bird Flu Virus, Dengue viruses, Japanese Encephalitis virus, West Nile Virus, Ebola/Marburg viruses, and certain Coronaviruses. The Company intends to obtain a license for RSV, Poxviruses, and/or Enteroviruses if the initial research is successful. As is customary, the Company mustย stateย the risk factor that the path to typical drug development of any pharmaceutical product is extremely lengthy and requires substantial capital.ย As with any drug development efforts by any company, there can be no assurance at this time that any of the Companyโs pharmaceutical candidates would show sufficient effectiveness and safety for human clinical development.ย Further, there can be no assurance at this time that successful results against coronavirus in our lab will lead to successful clinical trials or a successful pharmaceutical product.
