Drug Discovery and Pipeline
Nutra Pharma is developing proprietary therapeutic protein products for the biologics market. The Company has two leading drug candidates: RPI-MN and RPI-78M.
RPI-MN
RPI-MN inhibits the entry of several viruses that are known to cause severe neurological damage in such diseases as encephalitis and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). It is being developed first for the treatment of HIV.
RPI-78M
RPI-78M is being developed for the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN). Other neurological and autoimmune disorders that may be served by RPI-78M include Myasthenia Gravis (MG), Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
RPI-78M and RPI-MN contain anticholinergic peptides that recognize the same receptors as nicotine (acetylcholine receptors) but have the opposite effect. In a specific chemical process unique to Nutra Pharma, the drugs are created through a process of chemical modification.
In September, 2015 RPI-78M was granted Orphan Status by the FDA for the treatment of pediatric Multiple Sclerosis. This allows for much shorter timelines to drug approval, waiver of FDA fees (around $2.5M), rolling review and fast-track approval. Orphan status also allows for potential grant money and other funding opportunities through the clinical process.
RPI-MN and RPI-78M possess several desirable properties as drugs:
·
They lack measurable toxicity but are still capable of attaching to and affecting the target site on the nerve cells. This means that patients cannot overdose.
·
They display no serious adverse side effects following years of investigations in humans and animals.
·
RPI-78M may be administered orally -- a first for a biologic MS drug. This will present MS patients with additional quality of life benefits by eliminating the requirement for routine injections.
During our second quarter of 2017 and thereafter, the following has occurred:
On May 23, 2017 we announced a collaboration with International Security Group to develop our nerve agent counter measures. Nerve agents are identified as a class of phosphorus-containing organic chemicals (organophosphates) that may disrupt the transfer of messages to organs through the nerves. This disruption is caused by the over-stimulation of certain receptors on the surface of the neurons. These same receptors are the target of our drugs, which may block the action of the nerve agents or minimize the damage that they may cause.
On May 31, 2017 we announced a collaboration with the University of Maryland Bioprocess Scale-Up Facility (BSF) to optimize manufacturing processes for the production of RPI-78M for the planned upcoming clinical trials in Pediatric Multiple Sclerosis. The BSF will utilize the cloned alpha-cobratoxin gene as the raw material for the production of the recombinant drug, RPI-78M. BSF work will include process development and process optimization to develop an efficient, compliant and scalable process for the reliable production of high-quality material at a reasonable cost of goods.
Nyloxin® and Nyloxin® Extra Strength offer several benefits as a pain reliever. With increasing concern about consumers using opioid and acetaminophen-based pain relievers, the Nyloxin® products provide an alternative that does not rely on opiates or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, otherwise known as NSAIDs, for their pain relieving effects. Nyloxin® also has a well-defined safety profile. Since the early 1930s, the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) of Nyloxin®, Asian cobra venom, has been studied in more than 46 human clinical studies. The data from these studies provide clinical evidence that cobra venom provides an effective treatment for pain with few side effects and has the following benefits: Safe and effective, all natural, long-acting, easy to use, non-narcotic, non-addictive, and analgesic and anti-inflammatory.
We are currently marketing Nyloxin® and Nyloxin® Extra Strength as treatments for moderate to severe chronic pain. Nyloxin® is available as an oral spray for treating back pain, neck pain, headaches, joint pain, migraines, and neuralgia and as a topical gel for treating joint pain, neck pain, arthritis pain, and pain associated with repetitive stress. Nyloxin® Extra Strength is available as an oral spray and gel application for treating the same physical indications, but is aimed at treating the most severe (Stage 3) pain that inhibits one's ability to function fully.
Nyloxin® Military Strength
In December 2012, we announced the availability of Nyloxin® Military Strength for sale to the United States Military and Veteran's Administration. Over the past few years, the U.S. Department of Defense has been reporting an increase in the use and abuse of prescription medications, particularly opiates. In 2009, close to 3.8 million prescriptions for pain relievers were written in the military. This staggering number was more than a 400% increase from the number of prescriptions written in the military in 2001. But prescription drugs are not the only issue. The most common and seemingly harmless way to treat pain is with non steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS). But there are risks. Overuse can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, heartburn, ulcers and internal bleeding. In severe cases chest pain, heart failure, kidney dysfunction and life-threatening allergic reactions can occur. It is reported that approximately 7,600 people in America die from NSAID use and some 78,000 are hospitalized. Ibuprofen, also an NSAID has been of particular concern in the military. The terms "Ranger Candy" and "Military Candy" refer to the service men and women who are said to use 800mg doses of Ibuprofen to control their pain. But when taking anti-inflammatory Ibuprofen in high doses for chronic pain, there is potential for critical health risks; abuse can lead to serious stomach problems, internal bleeding and even kidney failure. There are significantly greater health risks when abuse of this drug is combined with alcohol intake. Our goal is that with Nyloxin®, we can greatly reduce the instances of opiate abuse and overuse of NSAIDS in high risk groups like the US military. The Nyloxin®Military Strength represents the strongest version of Nyloxin® available and is approximately twice as strong as Nyloxin® Extra Strength. We are working with outside consultants to register Nyloxin® Military Strength and the other Nyloxin® products for sale to the US government and the various arms of the military as well as the Veteran's Administration. To date, we have been unable to get our products onto the Federal Supply Schedule for eventual sales to governmental agencies or to the US Military, but will continue these efforts.
International Sales
We are pursuing international drug registrations in Canada, Mexico, India, Central and South America and Europe. Since European rules for homeopathic drugs are different than the rules in the US, we cannot estimate when this process will be completed.
