NanoViricides, Inc. (NYSE American: NNVC) has highlighted its broad-spectrum antiviral drug candidate, NV-387, as a crucial tool to combat a potential H5N1 bird flu pandemic. According to Anil R. Diwan, Ph.D., President and Executive Chairman of the company, NV-387 targets essential host-side features that the rapidly evolving H5N1 virus relies on, making it less likely for the virus to develop resistance. This stands in contrast to existing antiviral treatments, which are becoming less effective as the virus mutates. While the U.S. government has stockpiled H5N1 vaccines, current plans do not include their deployment, and NanoViricides emphasizes that vaccines may struggle to keep up with the virus’s rapid evolution. The company asserts that NV-387’s ultra-broad antiviral spectrum, effective against various viruses including Influenza, RSV, and COVID-19, positions it as a powerful preventative measure against a potential pandemic.

About NanoViricides Inc.
NanoViricides is a development-stage company that is creating special purpose nanomaterials for antiviral therapy. The company’s novel nanoviricide(TM) class of drug candidates and the nanoviricide(TM) technology are based on intellectual property, technology and proprietary know-how of TheraCour Pharma, Inc. The company has a Memorandum of Understanding with TheraCour for the development of drugs based on these technologies for all antiviral infections. The MoU does not include cancer and similar diseases that may have viral origin but require different kinds of treatments. The company has obtained broad, exclusive, sub-licensable, field licenses to drugs developed in several licensed fields from TheraCour Pharma, Inc. The company’s business model is based on licensing technology from TheraCour Pharma Inc. for specific application verticals of specific viruses, as established at its foundation in 2005. NanoViricides’ lead drug candidate is NV-387, a broad-spectrum antiviral drug that the company plans to develop as a treatment of RSV, COVID-19, Long COVID, influenza, and other respiratory viral infections, as well as MPOX/Smallpox infections. The company is currently focused on advancing NV-387 into Phase II human clinical trials. NanoViricides’ other advanced candidate is NV-HHV-1 for the treatment of Shingles. The company cannot project an exact date for filing an IND for any of its drugs because of dependence on a number of external collaborators and consultants. NV-CoV-2 (“API NV-387”) is the company’s nanoviricide drug candidate for COVID-19 that does not encapsulate remdesivir. NV-CoV-2-R is NanoViricides’ other drug candidate for COVID-19 that is made up of NV-387 with remdesivir encapsulated within its polymeric micelles.
