Our vision of new therapeutic options for viral diseases
Our goal
We are developing a drug candidate against viral diseases. benfovir focuses on an active ingredient that inhibits sugar and lipid metabolism, thereby preventing the generation of the crucial building blocks for virus formation and avoiding the overreaction of the immune system.
Where We Are At
We have finished the experimental part of the clinical phase I study assessing the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of our drug candidate in healthy volunteers.
Next Steps
We are planning a clinical phase II study to evaluate the efficacy of our drug candidate in various viral diseases.

New therapeutic approach against SARSCoV-2 successfully tested
Scientists at the Universities of Frankfurt a.M. and Kent (UK) have identified a metabolic pathway (pentose-phosphate pathway) that is crucial for the propagation of the SARSCoV- 2 virus in human cells. The compound benfo-oxythiamine, an inhibitor of this metabolic pathway, has succeeded in blocking the replication of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in human cells.
