ProLectin-M Demonstrates Significant Activity Against Influenza and Respiratory Syncytial Virus
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, Feb. 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BIOXYTRAN, INC. (OTCQB: BIXT) (the “Company”), a clinical stage biotechnology company developing oral and intravenous drugs to treat COVID-19, other viral diseases, and fibrosis announced today that in vitro testing at the Foundation for Neglected Disease Research (FNDR) in Bangalore India, showed that leading drug candidate ProLectin-M (PL-M) showed a significant reduction of viral load in influenza (H1N1) and in human Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). The newest in vitro results, completed in early February 2023, are similar in nature to the SARS-CoV-2 test results that ultimately led to the successful completion of 2 clinical trials. The positive data and the non-toxic nature of the molecule justifies an IND filing to proceed to phase 2 human clinical trials.
