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.
