These findings build upon Lexaria's recent announcement that remdesivir and ebastine processed with DehydraTECH were effective at inhibiting the COVID-19 SARS-CoV-2 virus using anin vitroscreening assay in infected cells in its study VIRAL-C21-3.
"These are the best results Lexaria has ever generated demonstrating our technology's ability to more effectively deliver antiviral drugs when taken orally," said Chris Bunka, CEO of Lexaria. "We are starting to see circulating drug levels in the bloodstream that are twice or even three-times higher with DehydraTECH than without, which could greatly enhance opportunities to treat viral infections via oral drug delivery."
