SHELTON, CT / ACCESSWIRE / August 1, 2024 / NanoViricides, Inc. (NYSE American:NNVC) (the "Company"), a clinical stage global leader in broad-spectrum antiviral nanomedicines, reports that two separate and independent research reports have been published by industry analysts on the Company.

"NNVC: NanoViricides Broad Spectrum Technology Represents Potential Paradigm Shift In Viral Therapy," is the title of a new research note published by David Bautz, PhD, Zacks SCR, on July 31st, 2024. Importantly, he notes that, "As opposed to currently available antiviral therapies in which each compound is only active against a unique type of virus, NanoViricides has disclosed preclinical results for NV-387 in multiple viral models that demonstrates the broad-spectrum action of the compound. These results could represent a new paradigm in viral therapy."

"NanoViricides is now a clinical stage company with an exciting, potentially broad-spectrum antiviral asset in NV-387. The preclinical results showing efficacy in different viral models is supportive of the drug's potential utility as a therapeutic against a wide range of viruses. We look forward to the final results from the Phase 1 clinical trial of NV-387 as well as the company's expected timeline for moving it into a Phase 2 trial in RSV and additional indications that will be pursued," concludes Dr. Bautz.

"[NanoViricides'] Novel anti-viral could boost a US$3 bln market - New focus on viral respiratory infections especially highly transmissible RSV," is the title of the research report published by John Savin, PhD, MBA, ProactiveInvestors, focusing on our clinical stage drug NV-387, on May 21st, 2024, in a separate and independent Research Report.

"If, as preclinical data indicates, the candidate, anti-viral NV-387, can be delivered orally at effective doses against multiple respiratory viruses, including potentially Influenza A, RSV and COVID-19, it could become a mass market product. It might be prescribed by primary care physicians adding a new, acute therapeutic category to the RSV vaccine and antibody market already worth about US$3 billion," proclaimed Dr. Savin.

"As preclinical work shows that NV-387 is effective against influenza and RSV viruses, a general anti-viral first response oral therapy against "Severe Acute Respiratory Infection"-Viral (SARI-Viral) might be feasible," noted Dr. Savin, adding, "We also note excellent preclinical data on Influenza A treatment with NV-387 compared to existing blockbuster therapies."

About NanoViricides

NanoViricides, Inc. (the "Company") (www.nanoviricides.com) is a development stage company that is creating special purpose nanomaterials for antiviral therapy. The Company's novel nanoviricide® class of drug candidates are designed to specifically attack enveloped virus particles and to dismantle them. Our lead drug candidate is NV-387 for the treatment of RSV, COVID-19, Long COVID, Influenza, and other respiratory viral infections. Our other advanced candidate is NV-HHV-1 for the treatment of Shingles (previously referred to as NV-HHV-101). 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. The Company is currently focused on advancing NV-387 into Phase II human clinical trials.

NV-CoV-2 (API NV-387) is our nanoviricide drug candidate for COVID-19 that does not encapsulate remdesivir. NV-CoV-2-R is our other drug candidate for COVID-19 that is made up of NV-387 with remdesivir encapsulated within its polymeric micelles. The Company believes that since remdesivir is already US FDA approved, our drug candidate encapsulating remdesivir is likely to be an approvable drug, if safety is comparable. Remdesivir is developed by Gilead. The Company has developed both of its own drug candidates NV-CoV-2 and NV-CoV-2-R independently.

The Company is also developing drugs against a number of viral diseases including oral and genital Herpes, viral diseases of the eye including EKC and herpes keratitis, H1N1 swine flu, H5N1 bird flu, seasonal Influenza, HIV, Hepatitis C, Rabies, Dengue fever, and Ebola virus, among others. NanoViricides' platform technology and programs are based on the TheraCour® nanomedicine technology of TheraCour, which TheraCour licenses from AllExcel. NanoViricides holds a worldwide exclusive perpetual license to this technology for several drugs with specific targeting mechanisms in perpetuity for the treatment of the following human viral diseases: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV/AIDS), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), Rabies, Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1 and HSV-2), Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV), Influenza and Asian Bird Flu Virus, Dengue viruses, Japanese Encephalitis virus, West Nile Virus, Ebola/Marburg viruses, and certain Coronaviruses. The Company intends to obtain a license for poxviruses and/or enteroviruses if the initial research is successful. The Company's technology is based on broad, exclusive, sub-licensable, field licenses to drugs developed in these areas 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.

As is customary, the Company must state the risk factor that the path to typical drug development of any pharmaceutical product is extremely lengthy and requires substantial capital. As with any drug development efforts by any company, there can be no assurance at this time that any of the Company's pharmaceutical candidates would show sufficient effectiveness and safety for human clinical development. Further, there can be no assurance at this time that successful results against coronavirus in our lab will lead to successful clinical trials or a successful pharmaceutical product.
