Todos Medical Ltd. announced that the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued a Notice of Allowance for NLC Pharma?s patent application entitled "Compounds for Treating a Coronavirus Infection? prosecuted from the groundbreaking work of Dr. Dorit Arad. The Notice of Allowance covers the use of key compounds contained in the ingredients in Tollovid?

and Tollovir? (NLC-V-01, NLC-001 or 3CL-001). The allowed claims are directed, among other things, to the administration of compounds to a subject to inhibit activity of the 3CL protease, inflammation and autophagy, and to treat coronavirus infection.

The USPTO's assessment pertains solely to patentability, while approvability as a disease treatment falls solely within the jurisdiction of the United States Food & Drug Administration (US FDA). Tollovid, a unique 3CL protease inhibition dietary supplement, is not approved by the US FDA for the diagnosis, treatment, prevention or cure of any disease including COVID, acute and/or chronic coronavirus infections, or Long COVID. Tollovir, an anti-cytokine and 3CL protease inhibitor therapeutic candidate that has successfully completed a Phase 2 clinical trial in the treatment of hospitalized COVID-19 patients, is not approved by the US FDA to diagnose, treat, prevent, or cure any disease including COVID, acute and/or chronic coronavirus infections or Long COVID.

Tollovid and Tollovir are manufactured with distinct raw materials, such that the key ingredients of Tollovir are separate and distinct from the key ingredients in Tollovid, resulting in separate end products from different key raw materials that contain patent pending compounds.
