Quote:
Innovation Pharmaceuticals (OTCQB:IPIX) (“the Company”), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company, announced today that its anti-SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) drug candidate, Brilacidin, in an in vitro experiment using VERO cells, reduced the viral titer (load) of SARS-CoV-2 by 75 percent after only 1 hour of preincubation prior to infection at a concentration of 10μM as compared to vehicle control.
These statistically significant lab results strongly support Brilacidin’s prophylactic treatment potential given the drug’s potent and rapid virucidal activity—a unique ability, different from any other known drug currently in development to treat COVID-19, to inactivate the novel coronavirus prior to host cell entry and subsequent viral replication. A majority of antiviral agents targeting SARS-CoV-2 attempt to inhibit viral replication rather than completely eliminating the virus (virustatic versus virucidal).
