Maitland Pharma Corp announce launch of its new drug PEPTERON

04/14/2020 13:00 - ORLANDO, FLORIDA - (PR Distribution™)

(PRDistribution) – Maitland Pharma Corp announces the launch later this month of its new drug PEPTERON, licensed from the Irish company Kosama Scientific Ltd. PEPTERON is currently registered in the USA as a cobra venom preparation based homeopathic drug for the temporary relief of symptoms of colds and flu, including rhinitis, fever, sore throat and headache.

Based on the scientific research and our efforts to date, it is our opinion that PEPTERON could play a potential role in the COVID-19 pandemic subject to the efficacy shown by purpose designed clinical studies. Cobra venom preparations have shown excellent safety profile in clinical studies for multiple conditions in the past but has not been tested for preventive or therapeutic efficacy against COVID-19. Cobra venom preparations have demonstrated a range of activities to include broad spectrum antiviral efficacy against multiple viruses including data in corona virus-infected animals. Animal data revealed the alleviation of the acute lung injury induced by highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 virus infection as well as the potential ability to suppress the cytokine storm observed in severely ill COVID-19 patients. Maitland Pharma Corp is working with academic partners to initiate clinical studies to test PEPTERON in individuals at high risk of SARS-CoV2 virusexposure and patients with COVID-19 symptoms.
