Telomir Pharmaceuticals to Participate in BIO 2025 in Boston as Company Prepares for IND Submission and Advances Breakthrough Longevity Platform
Company to meet with prospective partners as it accelerates toward IND submission for Telomir-1, with plans to begin human dosing in the first half of 2026 MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / June 2, 2025 / Telomir Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq:TELO) ("Telomir" or the "Company"), an emerging leader in age-reversal science, today announced its participation in the BIO International Convention 2025, taking place in Boston, MA from June 16-19, 2025. The Company has scheduled a full week of BIO One-on-One Partnering™ meetings to explore strategic collaborations, licensing opportunities, and potential M&A transactions. Telomir is actively preparing to submit an Investigational New Drug (IND) application by the end of this year for its lead candidate, Telomir-1-a novel small molecule designed to elongate telomeres, regenerate cells, and reverse core mechanisms of biological aging. The Company is gearing up for its pre-IND meeting with the FDA, with the goal of initiating first-in-human dosing in the first half of 2026. As part of its expanding pipeline, Telomir is advancing a rare-disease exploratory and developmental strategy focused on high-need orphan indications where cellular aging plays a central role. These include: Werner's syndrome, a rare adolescent- or adult-onset disorder often referred to as "adult Progeria," which is expressed by many features of premature aging, including early graying, cataracts, metabolic dysfunction, and cancer disease, a rare genetic disorder caused by copper accumulation in tissues. Telomir-1 has already demonstrated in preclinical testing copper-modulating capabilities, reversal of copper-induced toxicities and reactive oxygen species production, offering a potential disease-modifying approach that directly addresses the root cause of toxicity and inflammation associated with Wilson' an ultra-rare pediatric condition that causes rapid aging in children, where Telomir-1 has shown in animal models restoration of lifespan and normalization of disease including rare neuromuscular subtypes that impair vocal cord function and may be linked to inflammation and accelerated tissue degeneration. The Company plans to meet with the FDA to establish novel clinical endpoints across its rare disease programs, aiming to unlock accelerated development pathways and regulatory flexibility. In parallel, Telomir-1 is also being investigated in autism spectrum disorder, where its potential impact on telomere biology, oxidative stress, neurodegeneration and inflammation may offer a novel therapeutic approach for neurodevelopmental conditions. Beyond rare and neurological disorders, Telomir has achieved significant preclinical success across a range of high-impact therapeutic areas, underscoring the versatility of its platform: Vision Restoration: Structural and functional recovery of the retina in FDA-recognized endpoints in animal models of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).Longevity and Aging: Consistent age-reversal, increased lifespan, and improved health in standard aging, Werner's syndrome and in Progeria Disease: In preclinical models of Type 2 diabetes,Telomir-1 led to the reversal of elevated blood glucose, restoration of insulin sensitivity, improved pancreatic islet function, and a marked reduction in oxidative stress and systemic In a preclinical model of aggressive human prostate cancer, Telomir-1 alone at both low and high doses reduced tumor growth by approximately 50%, while also exhibiting a protective effect on healthy cells. These findings directly counter concerns that telomere-elongating drugs may promote cancer; instead, Telomir-1 actively suppressed tumor Disease: Development of Telomir-Ag2, a novel drug candidate with potent activity against multidrug-resistant bacteria, including MRSA. "The breadth of our preclinical data showcases the potential of Telomir-1 not just as a treatment-but as a platform for addressing aging-related and rare diseases at the source," said Erez Aminov, Chief Executive Officer of Telomir. "As we prepare for IND submission and for a pre-IND meeting with the FDA, we look forward to connecting with potential partners at BIO to explore licensing and M&A opportunities that can help accelerate our path to the clinic." Dr. Angel, Chief Scientific Advisor at Telomir, added:"In all my years in drug development, I've never seen a molecule with this kind of cross-indication potential. The science behind Telomir-1 is remarkable-it's addressing cellular aging at its root, and the preclinical data speak for themselves.

NanoViricides to Present at the BIO International Convention in Boston on Monday, June 16, 2025
SHELTON, CT / ACCESS Newswire / May 28, 2025 / NanoViricides, Inc. (NYSE American:NNVC) (the "Company"), a clinical stage leader developing revolutionary broad-spectrum antiviral drugs that the virus cannot escape, announced that it will be presenting on Monday, June 16th, at 2:30pm at the BIO International Convention 2025 in Boston, MA. Event Information: Anil R. Diwan, PhD, President and Executive Chairman of the Company will provide an update on the Company, its Drug Pipeline and Platform Technologies available for licensing. Dr. Diwan will also be available for meetings in the BIO Partnering™ match-making platform during the Convention from June 16th through June 19th, 2025. NanoViricides' Current Antiviral Drugs Pipeline NanoViricides is rapidly moving towards Phase II Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy Evaluation of its Lead Drug candidate, NV-387, for the Treatment of MPOX disease, in response to the continuing Public Health Emergency of International Concern in WHO African Region. NV-387 is a revolutionary broad-spectrum drug candidate designed to mimic host-side features that the virus particle uses as the first landing site in order to mount a cellular infection. An estimated 90-95% of human pathogens utilize the same common landing feature that is mimicked by NV-387, giving the drug its extremely broad antiviral spectrum. NV-387 was found to be highly effective against the "tripledemic" respiratory viruses, namely RSV, Influenza A, and Coronaviruses, in respective lethal animal models of lung infection. In all of these cases, NV-387 was substantially superior to existing drugs. The virus cannot escape NV-387 even as it changes in the field, because the virus continues to use the sulfated proteoglycan features for attachment despite all changes. This is completely unlike existing vaccines, antibodies, and small chemical anti-viral modalities that are all readily defeated by viruses by relatively small changes, often in single viral proteins. The overall market size of NV-387 indications is estimated to be well in excess of $10 billion. NV-387 is expected to become an "emperic therapy" for viral infections, just as antibiotics such as amoxicillin are used as emperic therapies for bacterial infections. NV-387 would be the first ever drug enabling emperic antiviral therapy, and would be potentially as revolutionary to antiviral therapy as antibiotics have been to anti-bacterial therapy. Emperic therapy means when the patient presents to the doctor, immediately the antiviral drug can be prescribed and started without having to wait for discriminating test results as to which virus is causing the infection. This has tremendous benefits since antiviral drugs are most effective when given as early as possible upon viral infection. In addition, the Company has developed a clinical-ready pan-herpesvirus drug candidate, NV-HHV-1 that has shown activity against HSV-1, HSV-2 and VZV, and is expected to have activity against CMV, HHV-6, and HHV-8 as well. The Company has also developed an anti-HIV drug candidate, NV-HIV-1, that has shown strong efficacy in SCID-hu-Thy-Liv animal model of HIV infection. NV-HHV-1 mimics the landing site on cellular CD4 that is required for all HIV viruses to cause cellular infection. Thus, HIV, despite constant changes, will be unable to escape NV-HHV-1. NanoViricide Platform Enables Drug Rescue, Oral Drug Delivery, and Zip-Code-Specific Delivery Oral drug delivery of small chemicals, peptides (such as the GLP-a obesity drugs), and proteins is feasible by encapsulation of the guest drug into the nanoviricide polymeric micelle. The encapsulation protects the guest from metabolism thereby enabling effective drug delivery. Encapsulation of a difficult or failed drug within the nanoviricide polymeric micelle can enable rescue of the drug candidate turning it into a clinically viable drug candidate, saving hundreds of millions of dollars of development work. Going another step further, the nanoviricide platform technology can be customized to enable zip-code-like specific delivery of encapsulated drugs to specific tissues (e.g. non-liver targeted delivery),, cells (e.g. cancer-cell specific delivery sparing normal cells), bacteria, or viruses (e.g. NV-HHV-1, NV-HIV-1) in a fully synthetic chemistry based, scalable technology stack.

Our proprietary BIO Partnering™ match-making platform-exclusive to the Premier Access registration package-allows you to find potential partners, schedule and accept meetings. ABOUT NANOVIRICIDES NanoViricides, Inc. (the "Company") ( is a clinical stage company that is creating special purpose nanomaterials for antiviral therapy. The Company's novel nanoviricide™ class of drug candidates and the nanoviricide™ 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. Our lead drug candidate is NV-387, a broad-spectrum antiviral drug that we plan to develop as a treatment of RSV, COVID, Long COVID, Influenza, and other respiratory viral infections, as well as MPOX/Smallpox infections. Our other advanced drug 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. 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 RSV, Poxviruses, and/or Enteroviruses if the initial research is successful. 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.
