folks look at this...50 times more effective than the broad spectrum nanoviricide.....do we have a winner or what????

2:45 - 3:15 NanoViricides: A Novel Approach to Controlling Viremia, Application to Avian Influenza
Anil R. Diwan, Ph.D., President, NanoViricides, Inc.
A nanoviricide(tm) is a nanomaterial drug that specifically targets, binds to, neutralizes and dismantles a virus particle, helping to control viremia. The virus-specificity is endowed to the nanoviricide by a virus-binding ligand attached to a patent-pending base polymer. Changing the ligand redirects the nanoviricide to a new virus. We have found that a nanoviricide that used a neuraminic acid-like ligand exhibited more than 50X efficacy enhancement over the free ligand against influenza in mice. We are now developing a nanoviricide specific to H5N1, called "AviFluCide-I." Our "Medicine Using Systems Engineering(tm)" approach and the results with influenza viruses will be discussed.
