Less neutrophils... means less immune cells infiltrating the site of infection in the lungs. Less inflammation means less acute lung injury, means better oxygen delivery and less breathing problems.
Too much glutamate turns on the T-cells (also inflammatory cells) which can trigger cytokine storm (cytokines are the worrisome part of inflammation that causes COVID patients to get really SICK and have trouble breathing. They cause problems with oxygen, blood pressure, heart rate, etc.
Ifenprodil blocks these problematic issues. The hope is that it translates to improved oxygen delivery in the lungs. LUNG PROTECTION is the key. This is also why I have faith this will be the next big chronic cough drug.
Read above... the drug improved mortality by 40%. FORTY PERCENT. If this drug improves anything re: COVID by 40% this will become the first line treatment hands down. Do you know what that means? RICHES. However, keep in mind that with H5N1, mortality is the big issues. With COVID the big issue is more so the ARDS or acute lung injury. However, it's the mechanisms described above that ifenprodil works on to decrease lung injury. Both viruses cause lung injury. If ifenprodil works for COVID, you can BET they will test it for influenza! Also keep in mind, these are animal studies we have showing this safe drug works, not just laboratory science testing but straight up animal tests, thats the closest step before testing in humans. At the end of the day, the drug is safe, thats what phase 3 usually studies. So this just means that if the phase 2 data is positive, we are guaranteed riches.
And don't forget, there are firms who put several million into this. Novotech is leading the charge on the front line.
Invest in the science.
