Adamis Pharmaceuticals Announces a Publication with the Human Immune Monitoring Center at Stanford Demonstrating Tempol Significantly Inhibited Multiple Cytokines from COVID-19 Patient’s Cells
24 Agosto 2021 - 6:30AM
Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (NASDAQ: ADMP) today announced a
publication in the peer reviewed journal, Clinical Immunology,
entitled “Tempol, a novel antioxidant, inhibits both activated T
cell and APC (Antigen Presenting Cell) derived cytokines in-vitro
from COVID-19 patients”
(https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/clinical-immunology/articles-in-press).
The studies conducted at the Human Immune Monitoring Center at
Stanford University investigated the effects of Tempol, an
investigational drug, on immune cells from COVID-19 patients. The
authors conclude “Preincubation of immune cells with Tempol
resulted in a significant (P<0.05) decrease in multiple T cell
and APC-derived cytokines from both cells of COVID-19 and
uninfected donors. These results suggest that Tempol has strong
in-vitro anti-cytokine activity and supports additional studies
examining the use of Tempol for the treatment of COVID-19.”
Dr. Holden Maecker, Director of the Human Monitoring Center at
Stanford University commented: “These results suggest that Tempol
has strong, broad in-vitro anti-cytokine activity. Suppression of
inflammatory cytokines with an antioxidant may be a beneficial
strategy in early COVID-19 infection.”
Inflammatory cytokines and reactive oxygent species (ROS such as
O*2 -) from cells of the immune system called macrophages and
neutrophils damage the lung in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
(ARDS). In animal models, Tempol has been shown to decrease
proinflammatory cytokines (cytokine storm) and lung inflammation.
In additon, Tempol works as an antixodant and has demonstrated
decreasing harmful ROS. In addition, Tempol has been shown to
decrease platelet aggregration, a problem observed in many COVID-19
patients.
Recently, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) highlighted
Tempol as a potential home treatment for COVID-19
(https://covid19.nih.gov/news-and-stories/tempol-potential-home-treatment-covid-19).
The NIH news stated that, “This treatment would likely prevent
severe disease.” Recent studies conducted by NIH researchers
suggested that Tempol has potent antiviral activity against the
virus that causes COVID-19 in laboratory studies. The NIH news
article further describes how Tempol could possibly reduce COVID-19
symptoms by calming inflammation, protecting organs from damage,
and decreasing the clumping of platelets. The U.S. Food & Drug
Administration has given the go-ahead to Adamis Pharmaceuticals to
conduct a clinical study using Tempol as an at home treatment to
prevent disease progression and thereby releasing the burden of
COVID-19 on the healthcare system. Adamis plans to initiate a
randomized placebo-controlled study shortly.
Dr. Dennis J. Carlo, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Adamis, commented: “Tempol’s significant activities, such as
decreasing inflammation in the lungs, protecting organs such as the
heart from damage, inhibiting blood clotting and lowering viral
burden, all make it an ideal candidate for the home treatment of
COVID-19. Tempol is safe and it does not come with the side effects
or adverse events associated with gene vaccination. In addition,
its mechanism of action lends it to having activity independent of
any new COVID-19 variants. Even though Israel is the model country
for almost everyone being vaccinated, there are significant
increases in breakthroughs and hospitalizations occurring in
vaccinated individuals. Tempol may very well be in a unique
position and may prove to be a very important “medical tool” in the
treatment of COVID-19. In addition to COVID-19, Tempol might very
well be used to treat other viral respiratory infections including
influenza and respiratory syncytial virus.”
Adamis has previously licensed exclusive worldwide rights under
patents, patent applications and related know-how to use Tempol for
the treatment of respiratory diseases including asthma, respiratory
syncytial virus, influenza and COVID-19.
