PrEP Biopharm Limited is a U.K. based clinical stage, biopharmaceutical company focused on the prevention of respiratory viral infections. Their lead program, PrEP-001, is a nasally administered, broad-spectrum agent that leverages the innate immune response to prevent upper respiratory tract viral infections. Successful human proof-of-concept trials with the compound have been completed demonstrating protection against rhinovirus-16 and influenza H3N2.
EUCODIS Bioscience has screened for, identified and developed an enzyme which is needed for enzymatic production of PrEP-001 intermediates. This involved set-up and up-scale of enzyme production, development of down-stream processing methods to obtain ≥ 96% purity and immobilisation of the target enzyme. Furthermore, EUCODIS Bioscience has established the enzymatic method to manufacture the drug intermediates under ISO9001 and has co-ordinated the transfer to GMP production.
Dr. Karl Hübler, CEO of EUCODIS Bioscience stated, “We are glad to be part of this exciting project. EUCODIS Bioscience was able to contribute its profound strengths in the full spectrum of enzyme identification, development and industrial manufacture.”
PrEP Biopharm’s Co-founder and CEO, - Ryan Muldoon, added, “We are pleased to have found such a reliable partner in EUCODIS Bioscience to set and scale up the enzymatic production of our intermediates. Eucodis technical expertise related to enzyme development and exceptional service and project management ensured the success of this project.”
