Re-purposing MEK inhibitors to treat viral infections including COVID-19 and influenza. The company therapeutics focuses on repurposing existing so-called MEK-inhibitors, originally used in oncology, which is already marketed or has undergone clinical investigations, to treat severe viral infections that lead to seasonal influenza and pandemic COVID-19. The working hypothesis is that virus replication is dependent on a specific cellular pathway, which can be effectively blocked by MEK-inhibitors. Three patent families that also repurpose MEK inhibitors for antiviral use were transferred during the foundation process.
