−Removed: Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a wholly owned Colorado corporation, and assigned all of our interest in our Adva-27a anticancer compound to that
−Removed: NOX Pharmaceuticals, Inc.’s mission is to research, develop and commercialize proprietary drugs including Adva-27a.
−Removed: In December 2018, we completed
−Removed: the development of our first Science-Based Nutritional Supplements product, Essential-9 tm .
−Removed: This new supplement is an over-the-counter tablet comprised of the nine (9) amino acids which the human body cannot make.
−Removed: Essential-9 tm
−Removed: has been authorized for marketing by Health Canada under NPN 80089663.

−Removed: Plan of Operation
−Removed: Despite the fact that we now
−Removed: are generating revenues, we have elected to include a Plan of Operation to discuss our ongoing research and development activities relating
−Removed: to our proprietary drug development operations, as well as our other business activities.
−Removed: Drug Development Operations
−Removed: Anti-Coronavirus Treatment
−Removed: Viruses carry minimal genetic
−Removed: information as they rely, for the most part, on host cellular machinery to multiply.
−Removed: Coronavirus has a positive-sense RNA genome consisting
−Removed: of approximately 30,000 nucleotides, a genome size that places it among the larger sized viruses.
−Removed: A positive-sense RNA genome is effectively
−Removed: a messenger RNA which allows the virus to express its genes immediately upon gaining entry into the host cell without the need for any
−Removed: prior replication or transcription steps as is the case with negative-sense RNA or DNA viruses.
−Removed: This is part of what makes Coronavirus
−Removed: a highly aggressive pathogen.
−Removed: Many of the causative agents of serious human diseases are positive-sense RNA viruses, including Hepatitis
−Removed: C, Zeka, Polio, West Nile, Dengue, Cardiovirus, and many others.
−Removed: Some positive-sense RNA viruses, such as the rhinoviruses that cause
−Removed: the common cold, are less clinically serious but they are responsible for widespread morbidity on a yearly basis.
−Removed: The initial genome expression
−Removed: products of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of COVID-19, are two large polyproteins,
−Removed: referred to as pp1a and pp1ab.
−Removed: These two polyproteins are cleaved at 15 specific sites by two virus encoded proteases (Mpro and PLpro)
−Removed: to generate 16 different non-structural proteins essential for viral replication.
−Removed: Mpro and PLpro represent an attractive anti-viral drug
−Removed: development targets as they play a central role in the early stages of viral replication.
−Removed: The crystal structure of Mpro shows the presence
−Removed: of an active site Cysteine (Cys145) and a coordinated active site Histidine (His41), both of which are essential for the enzyme’s
−Removed: proteolytic activity.
−Removed: Similarly, PLpro, also a Cysteine Protease, has an active site Cysteine at position 112 and a Histidine at 273.
−Removed: The following is a summary of the development to date of our Coronavirus Treatment project:
−Removed: On May 22, 2020, we filed a patent application in the United States for a new treatment for Coronavirus infections.
−Removed: Our patent application covers composition subject matter pertaining to small molecules for inhibition of the Coronavirus main protease (Mpro), an enzyme that is essential for viral replication.
−Removed: The small molecules covered by the patent application were computer modelled and designed by Dr.
−Removed: Slilaty, our CEO.
