NanoViricides (NYSE American: NNVC), a global leader in broad-spectrum antiviral nanomedicines, is reporting that the ultra-broad antiviral activity spectrum of NV-387 includes influenza A viruses, possibly including bird flu H5N1 virus as well. According to the announcement, the company performed a lethal animal model of lung infection by influenza A/H3N2 virus that indicated NV-387 showed superior antiviral effects compared to three approved anti-influenza drugs: Oseltamivir (Tamiflu[R], Roche), Peramivir (Rapivab[R], Biocryst), and Baloxivir (Xofluza[R], Shionogi, Roche).
“We are pleasantly surprised by this extremely broad and strong antiviral activity of NV-387,” said NanoViricides president and executive chair Anil R. Diwan, PhD, in the press release. “We are close to having a single drug NV-387 for the treatment of all of the tripledemic respiratory viruses — coronaviruses, RSV and influenza A — which would be a revolutionary achievement.”
