Emerging viruses are evolving faster than drug development

Development of antiviral therapeutics traditionally takes many years. Meanwhile, new viral pathogens can emerge and spread globally within months.

Major challenges in antiviral drug development:

• Long discovery and development timelines
• Viral mutation and resistance
• Limited ability to rapidly respond to new pathogens
• Complex manufacturing and distribution requirements

The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated the urgent need for rapid and adaptable antiviral therapeutic platforms.

A new age of antiviral therapies: EXHAUVIR

Key Advantages Of The Platform

From Sequence to treatment

Finding conserved genomic sequence in the targeted virus

Customizing our molecule (EXHAUVIR)

EXHUAVIR enter the cells then attached to the target virus

Cellular mechanisms destroy the virus

EXHUVIR is completely disintegrated without harmfull residue

In-vitro studies 

Conducted on 5 human cell lines.

Key results:

• 97.1% cellular protection in cellular assays

• Targeting of conserved viral sequences

• Efficient disruption of viral replication

 

These results support Viritis platform potential for rapid therapeutic generation.

Market opportunity

The global antiviral therapeutics market represents a multi-billion-dollar opportunity 

  • Increasing emergence of viral diseases
  • Global pandemic preparedness programs
  • Rising viral resistance to existing treatments
  • Increased investment in antiviral drugs

Platform-based antiviral technologies will play a key role in future global health challenges.
