Sangivamycin is a natural product originally isolated from Streptomyces rimosus , which is a nucleoside analogue. It acts as an inhibitor of protein kinase C. It has antibiotic, antiviral and anti-cancer properties and has been investigated for various medical applications, though never approved for clinical use itself. However, a number of related derivatives continue to be researched. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
Oyagen, a biotechnology company, has been developing sangivamycin or OYA1, which showed efficacy against Ebola infections, [8] as a broad spectrum antiviral for COVID-19. [9] [10] Tonix Pharmaceuticals licensed OYA1 from Oyagen in April 2021 to develop it for the treatment of COVID-19 and it is now called TNX-3500. [11] [12] [13] In July 2022, Tonix announced that it was terminating development of TNX-3500, an antiviral inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2, and the associated licence agreement with OyaGen, Inc. was expected to be terminated, effective September 20, 2022.
