NanoViricides, Inc. (NYSE American: NNVC), a clinical-stage nanobiopharmaceutical company.
NanoViricides (NNVC) Business OverviewNanoViricides, Inc. is a small-cap biotechnology company focused on developing a novel class of broad-spectrum antiviral drugs, which it calls
Nanoviricides®, using its proprietary
Nanoviricide® platform technology.1. The Technology: Nanoviricides®The company’s core technology is a unique application of nanomedicine designed to combat viral infections.
- Mechanism of Action: The Nanoviricide is engineered to mimic the receptors on a human cell surface. A virus, expecting to bind to a host cell, is fooled into attaching to the Nanoviricide. Once attached, the flexible nanomachine is designed to engulf, trap, and dismantle the virus particle, neutralizing it before it can infect a cell.
- Broad-Spectrum Potential: Because the drug mimics the host cell receptor, which is typically conserved across viral strains, the company believes its drugs are less prone to viral mutation/drug resistance than traditional small-molecule drugs or antibodies.
2. Product Pipeline and Clinical StageNNVC is a
clinical-stage company, meaning its focus is research, development, and clinical trials, with no commercial revenue from drug sales yet.
