Inventions:
Title: Lanatoside C Inhibition of Zika Virus Infection. UMMS16-60; Patent Pending.
-
This new discovery has found that cardiac glycoside Lanatoside C - an inhibitor of dengue virus, flavivirus Kunjin, alphavirus Chickingunya, and enterovirus 71 - also effectively stops replication of the Zika virus. This invention discloses treatment of Zika virus with Lanatoside C alone and in combination with ribavirin or ivermectin.
- Technology: Small Molecules
- Applications: Infectious Disease, Zika virus, Antiviral
Title: TARGETING HEPATITIS B VIRUS (HBV) HOST FACTORS. UMMS15-60; Patent 9,771,590.
-
This invention discloses the first ever genetic screen to identify Hepatitis B virus host factors. The invention further encompasses the factors, such as Zinc finger, CCHC domain containing 14 (ZCCHC14), identified by those methods and methods of treating Hepatitis B virus infections by targeting those factors.
