Adenovirus
The Disease
-
Adenovirus is a common respiratory pathogen
-
Leading cause of pharyngitis (sore throat)
-
Our target is ocular infection by Adenovirus, which is the leading cause of conjunctivitis and epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC)
The Need
-
Millions of cases of viral conjunctivitis occur annually throughout the developed world
-
No specific antivirals exist for its treatment
Our Inhibitor
-
Our inhibitor is a small molecule that disrupts adenovirus replication
-
It is active against adenovirus serotypes that cause sporadic viral conjunctivitis and EKC
