Description
- Abstract
- The broader impact/commercial potential of this small business innovation research (sbir) phase II project advance the treatment of covid-19. A viral infection like that leading to covid-19 creates stress on cells similar to cancer, obesity, diabetes and aging. This project advances a single non-toxic injection for critical patients to reduce cellular stress, block virus infection, and increase survival. In addition, this biologic therapy is also effective against the sars-COV-2 mutations, ebola, and influenza a. This has the potential to transform treatment for virus infections and cancer therapy. This small business innovation research (sbir) phase II project advances a treatment to end covid-19 by blocking the sars-COV-2 receptors on lung cells. The project advances discoveries that a survival protein, GRP78, is essential for virus infectivity and that an associated inhibitor can prevent infection. The project optimizes methods to use a lead GRP78 inhibitor to block spike proteins (SPS) of sars-COV-2 and mutations, as well as other virus receptor binding domains (rbds) from binding to receptors and to lung cells. IT is anticipated that the efficacy of the lead GRP78 inhibitor to block whole virus sars-COV-2, ebola, and influenza a viruses? Infection on lung cells will exceed 99%. This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
