5-MER Peptide to Ameliorate Coronavirus-Induced Inflammation of the Upper Respiratory Tract and Lungs

5-MER Peptide to Ameliorate Coronavirus-Induced Inflammation of the Upper Respiratory Tract and Lungs This study will test the hypothesis that treatment with a peptide comprising five units (5-MER), which is administered by injection or oral delivery, will substantially reduce chronic inflammation of the upper respiratory tract and lungs, thus ameliorating the effects of the Coronavirus disease. This will be achieved by targeting a major pro-inflammatory protein called SAA which plays an active role in the development of the disease. Furthermore, it is anticipated that the 5-MER peptide may also activate genes that provide resistance to chronic inflammation mediated by Coronavirus. Project ID : 47-2020-10890

High-Throughput Sequencing Methods to Test Samples

Highly parallel test for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 The currently used test for SARS-CoV2 virus uses molecular methods for detecting the presence of viral RNA sequences in subject samples. This is the approved gold standard in the field. The current application of this test requires several cumbersome steps that are labor intensive and require non-trivial reagents (which are becoming a global bottleneck). It is clear that during the next stage of managing the COVID19 pandemic, large scale testing will be needed. Project ID : 47-2020-10893

Rapid Computational Screening of Natural Products for COVID-19 Anti-Viral Agents

Some edible compounds are potent antiviral agents and were tested successfully against SARS and MERS viruses. They hence provide an large source for rapid development and production of cure against COVID-19. These compounds are commercially available, and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS), with a vast chemical diversity. Despite the high-level genetic similarity to other coronaviruses, such as SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, recent works demonstrate major structural differences in SARS-CoV2 (the causal agent of COVID-19 disease) proteins. The need for specific anti-SARS-COV2 treatments is acute. Rapid screening of the food derived compounds, using chemoinformatic modeling tools that are common in our lab, allow the identification of a small number of potent antiviral candidate inhibitors of recent published SARS-CoV2 target proteins.

Early warning system for detecting deterioration in post intensive care patients

In the UK 28% of deaths in patients treated on an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) occur after the patients return to the general ward. These patients often suffer late developing complications after initial successful treatment in the ICU. There is usually a period of deterioration when a patient shows some signs of developing a complication. PICRAM (Post Intensive Care Risk Adjusted Monitoring) is a system that watches over the electronic records of the vital signs of patients after discharge from an ICU. It analyses the information to estimate the likelihood that a patient will suffer a complication in the next 24-48 hours. Patients most at risk of complications can then be identified and specialist nurses sent to start treatment early to the patients who need them most. The early detection of deterioration provided by PICRAM can save lives and reduce treatment costs.

Shimmer3 Bioimpedance Monitor - Monitoring HR, respiration rate and depth, and the increase in fluid in the lungs to triage and remotely monitor Covid-19 patients

Managing the huge influx of patients in hospitals is one of the most critical challenges of the current COVID-19 pandemic. Shimmer’s Bioimpedance Monitor has the potential to help manage this challenge by monitoring HR, respiration rate and depth and the increase in fluid in the lungs to triage and remotely monitor patients. Background Bioimpedance, specifically across the lungs, has long been studied in Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). This measurement provides useful indicators of respiration, including rate, volume, and fluid in the lungs. Because COVID-19 attacks the lungs, these measurements provide clear indications of the progression of the disease. This information can be used in many ways, potentially including: • Monitoring patients remotely at home to determine, if and when, they will need to be admitted to the hospital • Monitoring patients in a hospital to determine when they need more aggressive treatment (e.g., ventilators) • Enabling the earlier release of non-acute patients because of the ability to monitor at home • Adjusting the treatment depending on the rate of progression of disease

COVID-19 Rapid Diagnostic Kit

Designing and developing vaccines, cures and diagnostic kits can be considered as the first priority for every country which is in the first line of fighting against coronavirus. Now there is only PCR test and IgG/IgM test for COVID-19 assessment. One of the most important problems of this diagnostic test is the time needed by the device to detect infected persons. This problem makes big companies in the field of pharmaceutical and medical devices manufacturing to design and develop rapid test kits. Our research team found that there are some specific proteins on the viral membrane which can make some reagents undergo a specific chemical reaction. Every reaction has a specific product related to substrates, so by detection of products with indicator reagents we are able to identify the virus in saliva. Indicator reagents usually change the reaction mixture color so by color change we can approve that the person is infected by COVID-19.

Expertise in molecular biology either experimentally or computationally

The Institut de Biotecnologia i de Biomedicina (IBB) was created in 1970 as a research institute of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) to promote fundamental biological research. In the year 2000, the focus of research evolved towards the Biotechnology and Biomedicine fields, with the aim of advancing scientific findings into translational results. At present, the Institute hosts 18 research groups organised into 3 programmes and working in 7 areas of expertise: • Bioinformatics • Cellular Biology • Structural Biology • Genomics • Immunology • Microbiology • Proteomics. This multidisciplinary character, one of the most relevant characteristics of the IBB, allows for a broad approach to biological problems, both basic and applied. The IBB is also highly engaged in academic training at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

Inhibitors of Viral Infectivity: Amphipathic Nucleoside Derivatives as Fusion Inhibitors

A series of small pharmacological molecules have been discovered to be potent and non-cytotoxic inhibitors of viral fusion. The inhibitors act on the non-virally encoded lipids in the virion envelope. These molecules are rigid amphipathic compounds of inverted cone shape which locate to the outer leaflets of virion envelopes, creating a physical barrier to viral envelope and cell membrane fusion. These amphipathic nucleoside derivatives can serve as potential antiviral or therapeutic agents against herpes, HIV, influenza, hepatitis B & C, poxvirus and other DNA or RNA enveloped viruses. They can potentially be used as prophylactic ingredients in creams, lotions, gels and as antiviral disinfectants.

Alphanosos rapid discovery technology against COVID 19

Alphanosos’ AI guided rapid discovery technology, validated in antimicrobials and anticancer, is expected to develop within 3 weeks of experimental work with a virology partner an anti-COVID-19 treatment composed of a synergistic mix of extracts of edible plants, chosen for being available in large amounts and with good traceability. Such treatment is, therefore, and also thanks to the innovative elaboration process, immediately available to enter large curative clinical trials, to be followed by country-wide deployment in a matter of weeks, for curative and for preventive goals (because of safety which is guaranteed by the edible nature of the mix).
