Nasal spray contains a cholesterol linked lipopeptide which binds to the S2 region of SARS-CO-V2 spike in proximity to the HR2 domain. This prevents it from contracting towards the HR1 domain and therby inhibits cell fusion and infection. “Intranasal fusion inhibitory lipopeptide prevents direct contact SARS-CoV-2 transmission in ferrets” Rory D. de Vries, Matteo Porotto, […]

“A novel and potent brain penetrant inhibitor of extracellular vesicle release” Camilo Rojas, Barbara Slusher, et al. 2019 Brit J Pharmacology 176: 3857-70. Doi: 10.1111/bph.14789. Using high throughput screening of 365,000 compounds, this research group from Johns Hopkins identified “PDDC”, a compound which penetrated brain tissue and inhibited release of murine astrocyte-derived EVs.

Neutrophils enact lysis of antibody opsonized target tumor cells by utilizing the CD11b – CD18 interaction to form a cytotoxic synapse which leads to trogocytosis.  This process can be effectively blocked by blockade with either anti-CD11b or anti-CD18 mAbs, but is enhanced when SIRPa – CD47 blockade is employed. “Neutrophils Kill Antibody Opsonized Cancer Cells
