Sirona Biochem Corp. announce the development of a promising new set of potential antiviral compounds which will undergo testing at the renowned International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB). The compounds, generated by Sirona's subsidiary TFChem, are aimed at expanding Sirona's existing library of antiviral drug candidates.

The ICGEB, located in Trieste, Italy, will employ specialized assays developed at their Laboratory of Molecular Virology to screen a library of 18 newly produced candidates, for their potential to inhibit SARS-CoV2. Spearheading the research program is Dr. Alessandro Marcello, a globally recognized authority in Human Virology. Building upon the previous screening results of the initial 20 compounds, these newly selected candidates hold significant promise.

Testing is slated to commence within the next month. Sirona Biochem remains committed to advancing the program on antiviral research and remains optimistic about the potential impact these new compound candidates may have in combatting viral diseases.
