Tuesday, February 28, 2023

Providence, RI, Feb. 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ocean Biomedical (NASDAQ:OCEA) announced today that Scientific Co-founder and member of the board of directors Dr. Jonathan Kurtis, MD, PhD, has been awarded a new patent for his discovery related to malaria, a third parasite target called PfCDPK-5 that can potentially be used to interdict the parasite at multiple stages in the malaria cycle. This discovery builds on Dr. Kurtis’ previous discoveries that have defined the powerful roles of PfGARP and PfSEA in controlling the malaria parasite’s ability to replicate and grow within its human host. The latest patent is for the discovery that demonstrates the role of antibodies to PfCDPK-5 in preventing merozoites from escaping infected red blood cells and thus attenuates parasite multiplication in the bloodstream.

Key Points: 
  • If combined with the new target PfCDPK-5 and PfSEA, the vaccine has the potential to shut down the parasite at multiple points in its cycle.
  • In coming months, Dr. Kurtis will work to optimize the formulation of his vaccine prior to IND submission and first in humans testing.
  • This medicine will be an additional focus of Ocean Biomedical’s development pipeline in 2023 and will address a massive unmet need.
  • “Falciparum malaria is a leading cause of death in children world-wide and our global malaria treatment strategy relies almost exclusively on artemisinin-based drugs.
