NanoViricides (NNVC) to Unveil ‘Escape-Proof' Antiviral Platform at Major Biotech Convention
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. NanoViricides (NNVC) is presenting at the prestigious BIO International Convention on June 16th, showcasing their revolutionary broad-spectrum antiviral platform that could transform how we treat viral infections—potentially creating the first 'empiric antiviral therapy' similar to how antibiotics work for bacterial infections. A Major Platform for a Breakthrough Company NanoViricides, Inc. (NYSE American: NNVC) has announced it will be presenting on Monday, June 16th, at 2:30pm at the BIO International Convention 2025 in Boston, MA. This isn't just any conference—the BIO International Convention is the largest and most comprehensive event for biotechnology, representing the full ecosystem of biotech with 20,000 industry leaders from across the globe. Event Details: When: Monday, June 16, 2025 at 2:30 PM Where: Room 153B, Boston Convention and Exhibition Center Presenter: Dr. Anil R. Diwan, PhD, President and Executive Chairman The Revolutionary Science Behind NNVC What makes NanoViricides particularly compelling is their unique approach to antiviral therapy. 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. The implications are staggering: 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. Why This Matters: The 'Escape-Proof' Advantage Traditional antivirals face a critical weakness—viruses mutate and develop resistance. NNVC's approach is fundamentally different. 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 represents a paradigm shift from 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. Game-Changing Clinical Results The company's lead drug candidate has already demonstrated remarkable efficacy. 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 Path to 'Empiric Antiviral Therapy' Perhaps most exciting is NNVC's vision for the future of antiviral treatment. 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. This means doctors could prescribe antiviral treatment immediately upon seeing a patient with viral symptoms, without waiting for specific test results—a breakthrough that could save countless lives. Diverse Pipeline with Massive Market Potential NNVC isn't a one-trick pony. Their pipeline includes: NV-387: Targeting MPOX, moving toward Phase II trials in response to WHO's Public Health Emergency NV-HHV-1: A pan-herpesvirus drug candidate active against HSV-1, HSV-2, VZV, and potentially CMV, HHV-6, and HHV-8 NV-HIV-1: Showing strong efficacy in HIV infection models The overall market size of NV-387 indications is estimated to be well in excess of $10 billion. Beyond Antivirals: Platform Technology Opportunities The company's nanoviricide platform extends beyond just antiviral applications. The technology enables: Drug Rescue: 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 Oral Drug Delivery: Including for peptides like GLP-1 obesity drugs Targeted Delivery: Zip-code-specific delivery to tissues, cells, or pathogens What to Watch at BIO Convention Dr. Diwan will be providing updates on the company's drug pipeline and discussing 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. This presents significant partnership and licensing opportunities, potentially accelerating development timelines and providing non-dilutive funding sources. The Bottom Line NanoViricides represents a potentially transformative approach to antiviral therapy. Their presentation at BIO Convention offers a crucial opportunity to showcase their technology to potential partners and investors. With their lead drug candidate moving toward Phase II trials and a platform technology with applications beyond antivirals, NNVC could be positioned at the forefront of a new era in viral disease treatment. The June 16th presentation will be a key catalyst to watch, potentially providing insights into partnership opportunities, development timelines, and the company's strategic direction. For investors interested in revolutionary biotech plays, NNVC deserves serious consideration—while keeping in mind the inherent risks of clinical-stage pharmaceutical development.

NanoViricides Not Affected by Tariffs and Other Policies, Has Excellent Long Term Outlook, Stock-Price Decline Misguided, Explains the Company
SHELTON, CT / ACCESS Newswire / March 11, 2025 / NanoViricides, Inc. (the 'Company')(NYSE American:NNVC), a clinical-stage global leader developing revolutionary broad-spectrum antiviral drugs that the viruses cannot escape, declared today that its business is not affected by the tariff policies of the US government or corresponding retaliatory policies of other governments, nor is it affected by the spending cuts being implemented by the current White House administration. Therefore, the Company believes that smart financial strategists would view the longer term strong prospects of the Company (explained below) as supporting the case of NNVC as an effective hedge against the current general stock market turmoil. Additionally, the Company reports that it does not develop vaccines. On the contrary, the Company is developing antiviral treatments, that are for helping patients infected by viruses. 'We believe that the policies of the current Secretary of HHS, Mr. Robert F. Kennedy, would lead to focusing more strongly on development of broad-spectrum antiviral treatments such as our clinical-stage as well as earlier-stage antiviral pipeline drug products rather than the previous vaccine-focused strategy,' said Anil R. Diwan, PhD, President and Executive Chairman of the Company. The Company has recently suggested that its revolutionary broad-spectrum antiviral drug NV-387 could have strong potential for the treatment of measles. NV-387 was found to cure a lethal RSV infection in an animal model. Both Measles virus and RSV belong to the same family of viruses called paramyxoviruses. This family of viruses use heparan sulfated proteoglycans as their first stop, congregating next to cells, before gaining entry into cells. There is no treatment available for measles; the lack of treatment is fueling the spread of this highly contagious disease. Only a treatment for measles can effectively limit transmission of the virus and spread of the contagion, the Company believes. It is illogical and unscientific to believe that vaccination, which is being widely promoted, would have any immediate effect for controlling the current outbreak. This is because the vaccinated person will only become protected several weeks after receiving the vaccine dose. Additionally, immune-compromised subjects cannot be vaccinated. Although measles is spreading primarily in unvaccinated children, a small proportion of vaccinated persons is also being infected, and could suggest a drift in the virus towards partial vaccine escape. The rapid spread of measles in West Texas is bleeding into nearby areas due to travel. Several other states have reported independently initiated measles cases as well. So far there were two deaths with measles. NV-387 mimics host-side signature required by viruses that does not change even as the viruses keep changing. In particular, NV-387 mimics heparan-sulfate-like structures to which over 90% of human pathogenic viruses are known to bind. NV-387 is a polymeric nanomachine that 'looks like' a cell to the virus, and the virus ends up being engulfed by the shape-shifting NV-387 polymeric micelles, and thereby the virus is blocked from infecting cells in the first place. The Company is currently working on a clinical trial application for enabling a Phase II human clinical trial to assess effectiveness of NV-387 for the treatment of MPox infection in the Central African region. An MPox epidemic has been raging in this region since June, 2024. NV-387 could readily be approved for the treatment of MPox if successful in the Phase II clinical trial. There is no treatment for MPox at present. NV-387 was found to be highly effective against Influenza A lethal infection in an animal model, significantly surpassing the effectiveness of known approved drugs including Tamiflu® and Xofluza®. These data indicate that NV-387 should be readily approvable for influenza virus infections. NV-387 is expected to be effective against bird flu viruses H5N1, H5Nx etc. as well. NV-387 was found to be highly effective in lethal virus infection animal models for COVID. As of today's 5-year anniversary of WHO declaration of the global COVID-19 pandemic, COVID has continued in the global population as endemic infections that produce sporadic waves. The only drug available remains Paxlovid® that was found to have no benefits compared to placebo in otherwise healthy adults that became sick with SARS-CoV-2 infection in clinical trials. 'We believe NV-387 has a bright future,' said Dr. Diwan, adding, 'And we are strategizing to bring this future closer to reality every day.' The Company has also developed a herpesvirus family antiviral, NV-HHV-1, that has indications against HSV-1, HSV-2, as well as VZV (shingles). NV-HHV-1 has gone through IND-enabling studies as a skin cream formulation for topical treatment of shingles rash, HSV-1 cold sores, and HSV-2 ulcers. The Company is developing a systemic drug based on NV-HHV-1 for oral treatment of herpesvirus infections as well. NV-HHV-1 awaits behind NV-387 in the pipeline for clinical development. Additionally, the Company has also developed a drug against HIV/AIDS, namely NV-HIV-1. The Company believes NV-HHV-1 in combination with some of the existing drugs could lead to achieving cures of HIV infection. 'With all of these developments in progress, we are not exposed to current macroeconomic factors such as wars, tariffs, export taxes, or spending cuts,' said Dr. Diwan, explaining, 'In fact, we believe that smart financial strategists would be recommending NNVC with its strong long term potential to act as a hedge against the current turmoil in the stock markets.' 'Therefore, we believe that the recent decline in the Company's stock price concomitant with the general market sell-off is misguided and smart investors are expected to avail this dip opportunity,' said Dr. Diwan. ABOUT NANOVIRICIDES NanoViricides, Inc. (the 'Company') ( is a publicly traded (NYSE American, stock symbol NNVC) 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. 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.
