Development of novel antiviral drugs against Influenza (FLUCURE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

"Influenza viruses cause a highly contagious respiratory disease in both humans and animals. Typically, influenza spreads worldwide in seasonal epidemics resulting in an estimated 3 to 5 million cases of severe illness and 250,000 to 500,000 deaths annually. In addition to these seasonal epidemics there have been several pandemics since the early 1900’s, where highly virulent strains emerged, the ...

Combating influenza using a novel drug strategy (FluDrugStrategy)

Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2010,

Objective: To find and produce novel target compounds against the influenza virus. Influenza A capsid protein is the target since it does not mutate at the same rate as the Hemagglutinin or Neuraminidase proteins. We aim to develop new therapeutic antiviral solutions to combat the disease. Beyond state of the art: The project combines knowledge based design and synthesis of compounds with unique p ...
