New Antiviral Canidate, GMS-007
We used druggable-PNA to synthesize ASOs(antisense and sense oligonucleotides) targeting conserved genetic regions of SARS-CoV-2.
We tested our ASOs (single or in combination) in the Vero6 cell model and found that most ASOs effectively inhibited replication of viral genes.
Finally, a single ASO, 3-S05234 (GMS-007), was obtained, showing superior IC50 compared to Nirmatrelvir.
