IMC Covid-19 Simple Solution ?themarketherald.com.au Immuron's (IMC) share price has more than doubled on the news a drug used in its traveller's diarrhoea formulation neutralises activity aginst the COVID-19 virus The company tested its IMM-124E treatment and has seen antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 IMM-124E is used to manufacture the company's over-the-counter gastrointestinal and digestive health immune supplements, dubbed Travelan and Protectyn To further investigate the treatment's effects, Immuron has researched the bovine coronavirus, commonly found in cows, and how it spreads through feces Because of these findings, Immuron is now looking into what significance an oral therapeutic treatment would have in the fight against COVID-19 The company has filed a provisional patent application to protect these findings On the market today, Immuron is up a whopping 145 per cent and is trading for 60 cents per share Immuron's (IMC) share price has more than doubled on the news a drug used in its traveller's diarrhoea formulation neutralises activity aginst the COVID-19 virus. The company's IMME-124E drug is used to manufacture Immuron's over-the-counter gastrointestinal and digestive health immune supplements, dubbed Travelan and Protectyn. Now, Immuron says IMME-124E has seen antiviral activity against the COVID-19 virus in laboratory studies. The company tested the product on SARS-CoV-2, which is the virus that causes COVID-19. The studies were conducted by Melbourne-based contract research organisation 360 Biolabs. Interestingly, Immuron decided to test the drug on SARS-CoV-2 due to its knowledge of bovine coronavirus. What is bovine coronavirus? Bovine coronavirus is common in dairy cows and is transmitted by infected feces taken in via the mouth or nose. The virus starts in the small intestine and eventually reaches the large intestine. To prevent newborn calves getting the disease, the pregnant cows are vaccinated to enhance the level of maternal antibodies, which are then transferred to their offspring. Other ways of preventing and treating the coronavirus involve feeding antibodies against the virus. This can be achieved by feeding antibody-rich colostrum from coronavirus vaccinated animals to the calves. "Therefore, the possibility of producing a Hyper-immune Bovine Colostrum to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-like coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is quite high," the company explained. "However, the prevalence and prognosis of digestive system involvement and gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with COVID-19 remains largely unknown," it added. Does bovine coronavirus change the current COVID-19 research? COVID-19 patients are known to have respiratory problems, however, gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain have also been observed in a growing number of patients with no respiratory symptoms. CEO Dr Jerry Kanellos said in the U.S., the Centres of Disease Control and Prevention recently updated the symptoms of the coronavirus to include diarrhea. "This growing clinical evidence suggests that the Gastrointestinal tract may present another viral target organ," he said. "The virus RNA has been detected in anal swabs of patients even after nasopharyngeal testing has turned negative, and cells in the inner-gut lining express high amounts of the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor that SARS-CoV-2 uses to gain entry to cells implying the potential for gastrointestinal infection and a fecal–oral transmission route," he explained. If the fecal-to-oral transmission is an important factor in the pandemic, then an oral therapeutic treatment would have a significant impact. However, at this stage, the research is still inconclusive. Immuron's new discovery can potentially offer a new oral therapeutic approach to target and directly inhibit the virus in the gastrointestinal tract. The company has filed a provisional patent application to protect these findings. On the market today, Immuron is up a whopping 145 per cent and is trading for 60 cents per share at 1:22 pm AEST.

Immuron’s products found to neutralise Covid-19Immuron’s commercially available products found to neutralise COVID-19 during in vitro research smallcaps.com.au Immuron’s commercially available products found to neutralise COVID-19 during in vitro research By Lorna Nicholas - July 21, 2020 Immuron ASX IMC NASDAQ IMRN SARS-CoV-2 COVID-19 antiviral studies Travelan Protectyn Immuron plans to investigate the impact of its Travelan and Protectyn products further in treating COVID-19 induced gastrointestinal symptoms. Biopharmaceutical company Immuron (ASX: IMC) has revealed the IMM-124E, which is used in its commercially available Travelan product, has demonstrated neutralising activity against COVID-19. IMM-124E is used in Immuron’s over-the-counter Travelan and Protectyn products which were developed as immunotherapeutics to prevent travellers’ diarrhea and other gastrointestinal and digestive issues. The products are commercially available, with Travelan currently registered for use across Australia, Canada and the US. Travelan is an orally administered tablet that is used to reduce the likelihood of contracting travellers’ diarrhea. It is a highly purified preparation of immune bovine antibodies, which, when taken with meals bind to the diarrhea causing bacteria and prevent colonisation and the resultant effect. Testing against COVID-19 A Melbourne-based Contract Research Organisation used the coronavirus-02 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes COVID-19, in an in vitro assessment using IMM-124E. The in vitro assessment using SARS-CoV-2 was performed on four production lots of IMM-124E, with susceptibility assessed. According to Immuron, all four production lots of IMM-124E were seen to inhibit the virus at safe concentrations. The study also found that cell viability in the presence of IMM-124E “was greatly enhanced” compared to the placebo. “We know that SARS-CoV-2 causes an influenza-like disease that is primarily thought to infect the lungs with transmission through the respiratory route ranging from mild respiratory symptoms to severe lung injury, multi-organ failure and death,” Immuron chief executive officer Dr Jerry Kanellos said. “Respiratory symptoms have dominated the clinical focus, however, gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting and abdominal pain are also observed in a growing subset of patients often presenting with no respiratory symptoms.” Dr Kanellos added that the symptoms were updated recently in the US to include diarrhea and that there was mounting evidence the virus is also targeting the gastrointestinal tract. COVID-19 and gastrointestinal tract Swabs from COVID-19 patients’ anuses have detected the virus in the same patients who’s nasopharyngeal testing has turned negative. “Cells in the inner-gut lining express high amounts of the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor that SARS-CoV-2 uses to gain entry to cells, implying the potential for gastrointestinal infection and a fecal-oral transmission route,” Dr Kanellos explained. “If fecal-oral transmission is a significant factor in the pandemic then the consequences of an oral therapeutic would be significant, however the research is still inconclusive.” Dr Kanellos added the preliminary results with IMM-124E warrant further evaluation. The company has also filed a patent regarding its findings. New oral therapeutic in pipeline Today’s news follows Immuron’s announcement yesterday the US Naval Medical Research Center had received FDA guidance regarding a clinical pathway for Immuron’s investigational new drug, which is being developed to treat campylobacteriosis and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli infections. “This is an important milestone in the development of any new drug for therapeutic evaluation,” Dr Kanellos said. He added it provides a clear roadmap forward for conducting two planned clinical studies in 2021.
