Atheric Pharmaceutical LLC ("Atheric(tm)") is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the rapid development and commercialization of re-purposed drugs to prevent and treat Zika and other Flavivirus disease. Atheric is committed to providing broad-spectrum medical countermeasures for Zika and other neglected tropical diseases.
Zika outbreak medical countermeasure (MCM) strategies have been identified, with the most promising MCM available for expedited clinical testing identified being re-purposed anti-malarial drugs. Of these, the most suitable for immediate clinical testing for use in protecting against the Zika Virus infection; to prevent development of Zika Virus fetal syndrome and GBS have been identified. Provisional patents covering the used of these compounds for Zika and other Flaviviruses have been filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office. Clinical trials to determine correct dosing and proprietary formulations appropriate for the indicated therapies are being rapidly developed. Regulatory discussions with FDA have been initiated.
Zika virus has been postulated as playing a key role in the pathogenesis of Zika-associated primary microcephaly and GBS. The anti-malarial drugs under pending patents are autophagy inhibitors, and in vitro testing has demonstrated efficacy. Of interest is that these drugs have been safely used during pregnancy, and cross the placenta enabling clinically significant pharmacodistribution to both mother and fetus. Systemic literature review with meta-analysis indicates that prenatal exposure to these drugs during maternal autoimmune disease treatment does not appear to increase the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, except those associated with the underlying disease.

Discovering and Developing Re-purposed antiviral Drugs for Treatment and Prevention of Zika
The development of new antiviral drugs to combat disease is one of the most exciting areas of discovery medicine in the 21st century. In the last two decades, antiviral drugs have become a mainstay of modern medicine. Drugs are now available to treat diseases caused by many different viruses, including influenza, HIV, herpes, hepatitis B and hepatitis C. According to the World Health Organization, antiviral drugs for HIV have saved almost eight million lives over the last fifteen years. For infectious disease outbreaks, antiviral drugs may be the safest and least expensive treatment or prophylactic option.
Atheric has a rich and diverse pipeline of drugs with activity against:
Flaviviruses (Zika, Yellow Fever, others).
Alphaviruses (VEE, Chikungunya, others)
Atheric Pharmaceutical researchers have discovered that when repurposed drugs with different mechanisms of action are combined, they are much more effective at inhibiting viral infection, including infection by mosquito-transmitted viruses. Some anti-viral drug combinations have a synergistic effect, which greatly increases the likelihood of success in inhibiting arbovirus replication and spread. Some of these antiviral drug combinations are also toxic to the mosquitos which spread the virus. These benefits are likely to translate to shorter duration of infection, decreased viral load and, in the case of administering the drugs as a prophylactic, more likelihood of an individual not acquiring the disease. Obviously, this is very powerful strategy for combating the ongoing outbreaks of Zika virus, Chikungunya, and Yellow Fever virus infections.

According to the World Health Organization, antiviral drugs for HIV have saved almost eight million lives over the last fifteen years. For infectious disease outbreaks, antiviral drugs may be the safest and least expensive treatment or prophylactic option.
The relatively high mutation rate associated with Zika is similar to that of other RNA viruses, and predicts rapid evolution to escape evolutionary pressure from drug monotherapies. Therefore, it is most appropriate to focus on developing multidrug therapy regimens that combine or cycle active drugs with different mechanisms of action. These drugs should ideally have minimal pharmacokinetic interactions and be safe when cycled or combined.
The Benefits of Re-purposed Drugs
One of the most exciting new approaches for drug development is finding new uses for currently marketed drugs. This process provides the quickest possible transition from research to approved drugs that physicians can prescribe and patients can use. “Re-purposed�? drugs already have a well-known clinical safety profile, which can avoid the lengthy regulatory hurdles and toxicology testing requirements that are needed for new drugs.
With careful selection criteria, testing drugs in combination using a high throughput system and pharmacometric modeling strategies, Atheric has been able to rapidly test and identify many antiviral drugs, which are active against Zika. This innovative approach truly has the potential to revolutionize how new antiviral drugs are discovered.
Why Not a Vaccine for Zika?
Vaccines are a great choice for many infectious diseases, but vaccines are time consuming to develop and pose safety risks for some types of infections, including a Zika virus infection. A recent report by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) at the National Institutes of Health estimates that an extremely accelerated pathway for vaccine approval is 8-10 years. For example, the West Nile Vaccine that the Director of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) promised the US Congress in 2002 would be ready within three years, is just finishing up phase I clinical trials 14 years later.
Infectious diseases, such as the Zika virus, that have a high rate of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) are generally not good candidates for a vaccine, as the vaccine potentially can also cause GBS. GBS causes a severe form of paralysis and is considered a serious adverse event.
Pregnant women, infants and children are usually excluded from initial vaccine clinical trials, due to safety risks and are usually excluded from new vaccine development, due to unknown risks. A vaccine for Zika would not be initially approved for use in pregnant women and other at-risk populations, such as children and the elderly.
Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE) of either Zika or Dengue is a risk with a Zika Vaccine. Testing for this risk is going to be time consuming and costly.
Product Strategy
Atheric’s technology development began in late 2015, when Atheric’s founders recognized that the unmet medical need associated with the ZIKV epidemic in the Americas could only be addressed in a timely fashion by re-purposing existing licensed drugs. The majority of prior drug development strategies for flavivirus antivirals (including ZIKV) have primarily focused on single-agent therapeutic compounds. Atheric chose an alternative strategy, focusing on drugs and drug combinations which interfere with the interaction of flaviviruses with host cells: those which block the steps required for viral entry and infection of a cell, in which the virus subverts normal cellular processes to support viral replication. This combined approach, involving hypothesis-driven drug screening and prophylactic inhibition of host–virus interactions, together with selecting mixtures of drugs with complementary mechanisms of action, has allowed Atheric to rapidly identify antiviral drugs that are extremely potent.
Atheric’s strategy for antiviral drug screening is revolutionary. Atheric focuses on drugs and drug combinations which interfere with the interaction of viruses and host cells: drugs which block the steps required for viral entry, infection, and maturation of a cell, in which the virus subverts normal cellular processes to support viral replication. The combined approach, involving hypothesis-driven drug screening and inhibition of host–virus interactions, together with selecting mixtures of drugs with complementary mechanisms of action, has allowed Atheric to rapidly identify antiviral drugs that are highly potent.
There are no current preventions or treatments for diseases caused by ZIKV infections. ZIKV transmission routes include mosquitos and possibly other insect vectors, mother to fetus and child, men through sexual partners, and blood transfusion. ZIKV has spread to 48 countries and territories across the Americas, Oceania, the Pacific Islands, and Africa (CDC 2016), with over 1.5 million suspected and confirmed cases (WHO 2016). In the United States, sexually transmitted or travel-associated cases have been reported in 40 states as well as the District of Columbia. The Pan American Health Organization Zika incident commander estimates that 500 million people in the Americas are at risk for ZIKV infection (Samarasekera and Triunfol 2016). The World Health Organization estimates the lifetime U.S. costs associated with care for a microcephalic infant to be $10,000,000 (WHO 2016). In 1997, the USDA estimated the total cost of care for a case of GBS in the United States at $450,000 (Buzby, Roberts et al. 1997).
Atheric has rapidly identified many different re-purposed drug candidates by:
Understanding the cellular interactions that occur during ZIKV infection.
Using existing databases to identify repurposed drug candidates.
Screening and testing anti-viral activity in cultured cells using multiple viral isolates and sophisticated high-throughput multiplex imaging.
Identifying synergistic compound combinations.
Down-selecting compounds and compound combinations that are sufficiently bioavailable in humans based on pharmacometric modeling.
Animal testing for lead product candidate is underway (Zika).
Phase 1 PK studies as well as phase 2a clinical trial designs have been developed. The Pre-IND application has been submitted to the FDA (Zika).
Our lead anti-Zika product consists of the combination of a well-known anti-malarial drug with another well known anti-parasitic drug. Atheric’s strategy is to discover lead candidate antiviral drugs by determining in-vitro antiviral activity curves and then comparing these to the known BIOAVAILABILITY AND SAFETY OF THE DRUG(S) in patients. This is a critical step that is often missed by anti-viral drug developers who apply high throughput screening methods, and is one part of the process that makes the Atheric strategy dramatically different.

Atheric Pharmaceutical LLC Factsheet
Executive Summary:
Atheric Pharmaceutical LLC (Atheric) is an early-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the prevention and treatment of human flavivirus disease (e.g., West Nile, dengue, yellow fever, and Zika virus (ZIKV)) including associated neurological disorders (e.g., Guillain–Barré Syndrome (GBS), congenital microcephaly) using repurposed multidrug broad spectrum antiviral pharmaceuticals. Atheric has several lead multidrug and backup combinations identified based on in situ multiplex screening (using cultured cells with different ZIKV isolates) combined with mechanism-based pharmacodynamic modeling using human population pharmacokinetic models. The market opportunity is that there are no medical countermeasures available for preventing or treating ZIKV infection and disease.
Product:
Atheric’s lead and backup multidrug combination products are repurposed multidrug broad spectrum antiviral pharmaceuticals. Key compounds are currently approved or recommended by various regulatory authorities for chronic administration during pregnancy for other indications, and cross the placenta enabling clinically significant pharmacodistribution to both mother and fetus. These compounds inhibit autophagy-dependent viral infection and replication, as well as other pathways associated with host-virus interactions. Other compounds are potent agents with more rapid clearance in the body, which are not contraindicated for use in pregnancy, and are suitable for short-term treatment and prophylaxis applications. The clinical indications Atheric is pursuing are:
1. Prevention of ZIKV-associated diseases, including GBS and other autoimmune and neuroinflammatory disorders in high-risk adults and travelers.
2. Prevention of Zika Fetal Syndrome (ZFS), including congenital microcephaly during pregnancy.
3. Ring containment of regional ZIKV infection outbreaks.
4. Treatment of currently infected patients, including men with potential to shed ZIKV in semen.
Intellectual Property (IP):
Atheric has filed 7 provisional patents (20-year exclusivity) filed with the USPTO. The likely claims are for repurposed individual drug compounds and multidrug combinations/formulations that are novel in both their new targets and new indications of use, methods and, in certain instances, compositions. The majority of these compounds are autophagy inhibitors that in vitro testing has demonstrated to have antiviral activity. Atheric will also pursue ex-U.S. IP rights.
Completed Developmental Milestones:
Atheric has several lead multidrug and backup combinations identified as a result of completing the following research activities:
I. Multiplex screening of identified compounds was performed using cultured cells (Vero E6, primary human fibroblasts, human astrocyte brain cells) with 2-hour drug pretreatment followed by infection with different ZIKV isolates representing African, Asian/Pacific, and American/Caribbean subtypes.
II. Multiple antimalarial and other licensed drugs that meet screening threshold criteria for anti-Zika activity were identified and further characterized.
III. In situ multiplex screening combined with mechanism-based pharmacodynamic modeling was then performed using human population pharmacokinetic models to predict and rationally optimize combination dosage regimens for human use.
IV. Preparing to test for potential anti-Zika activity in animals (e.g., murine AG129 mouse).
A draft manuscript currently under review by Science Translational Medicine provides a comprehensive review of and the rationale for Atheric’s R&D strategy and the above product development efforts, and is available upon request.
Collaboration Agreements:
Atheric is registered with the U.S. federal government’s System for Award Management (SAM):
I. BARDA – Atheric was the first organization invited to present medical countermeasure information through the TechWatch program to BARDA, and is well positioned to receive nondilutive capital once it is ready to begin clinical development.
II. USAMRIID – Atheric has executed Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs) with USAMRIID, the lead laboratory of the Department of Defense (DoD) for medical biological defense research, for high-throughput screening and imaging.
III. NIAID – Atheric has executed a Non-Clinical Evaluation Agreement (NCEA) with the NIAID for compound-screening in animals.
Market Opportunity:
There are no current preventions or treatments for diseases caused by ZIKV infections. ZIKV transmission routes include mosquitos and possibly other insect vectors, mother to fetus and child, men through sexual partners, and blood transfusion. ZIKV has spread to 48 countries and territories across the Americas, Oceania, the Pacific Islands, and Africa (CDC 2016), with over 1.5 million suspected and confirmed cases (WHO 2016).

History
Intradigm was founded in mid-
2000 by Ms. Jill Glasspool-
Malone, Dr. Jim Mixson, and Dr.
Martin Woodle. Novartis originally
owned the non-viral gene delivery
technology, which was developed
at Genetic Therapy, Inc., but
decided against continuing R&D
efforts. The license agreement
transferred contingent on funding
from Emerging Technology
Partners and Novartis’ own venture
fund.
Products
Intradigm Corporation is focused
on exploiting its proprietary target
discovery and validation technologies
to develop new therapeutics
for cancer, arthritis and other
critical care indications.
Intradigm’s approach is unique in
that it rapidly discovers and discriminates
the proteins that control
disease as distinguished from
those that only correlate with disease.
Disease-control validation
of targets enables drug development
based on target efficacy
reducing costs and improving the
success rate. Intradigm does this
by exploiting its leading expertise
in gene delivery in animals to
over-express protein targets
and/or to silence them with RNAi
directly in animal models of disease.
Intradigm’s method skips
slow and expensive validation
steps by operating directly in the
active disease tissues rapidly
revealing which proteins provide
efficacy.
Competition
The competitors to Intradigm
include commercial entities and
academic laboratories. The commercial
entities span small to
established Biotech companies
(such as Copernicus in
Cincinnati, Ohio, Targeted
