REVIVE THERAPEUTICS ANNOUNCES FILING OF PATENT FOR BUCILLAMINE IN THE TREATMENT OF EXPOSURE TO CHEMICAL WARFARE AGENTS

Revive Therapeutics Ltd. has filed a provisional patent application titled "Compositions, methods and uses of Bucillamine in the treatment of a victim exposed to a chemical warfare agent."

The methods and compositions described in the patent application relate to bucillamine as a potential treatment of a victim exposed to a chemical agent, including chemical warfare agents such as sulphur mustards, nitrogen mustards, nerve agents of G and V types, lewisite, and adamsite. According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, a chemical attack is the spreading of toxic chemicals with the intent to do harm, which may include chemical weapons (warfare agents) developed for military use, toxic industrial and commercial chemicals that are produced, transported and stored in the making of petroleum, textiles, plastics, fertilizers, paper, foods, pesticides, household cleaners, and other products, and chemical toxins of biological origin such as ricin.

The company is commencing to work with advisers in developing a strategic plan to present its case in repurposing bucillamine as a potential medical countermeasure for chemical warfare agent exposures to the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), a part of the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

At this time, the company will only provide regular updates through press releases as information becomes available.
