Utilizing the lamb model to evaluate the efficacy of inhaled therapeutics in collaboration with pharmaceutical companies, this work was recently published in Advanced Science. The data obtained from the lamb model have enriched our understanding of the mechanisms, pharmacokinetics, and effects of inhaled treatment for RSV infection. Notably, the treatment proved effective even after the RSV infection had been established in lambs. Inhaled “Muco-Trapping” Monoclonal Antibody Effectively Treats Established Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Infections".
Utilizing a lamb model to evaluate oral therapeutics targeting RSV, multiple RSV targets have been tested in lambs, including the RSV polymerase. This work was recently published in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry under the title, "Discovery of gem-Dimethyl-hydroxymethylpyridine Derivatives as Potent Non-nucleoside RSV Polymerase Inhibitors."
