Maxwell Biosciences, a pioneering preclinical drug platform company, today announced publication of a revolutionary mechanism of action study for their Claromer® compounds in the journal ACS Infectious Diseases. In this study, the researchers showed how a group of novel molecules - inspired by the human immune system - inactivates several viruses, including all tested Influenza, Coronavirus, Hepatitis, Herpes, Zika and Chikungunya strains. Their approach may lead to drugs that can be used against many viruses, and help overcome wide-ranging challenges with antimicrobial drug resistance.
