About Sunshine Biopharma’s Coronavirus Treatment
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the causative agent of
COVID-19, the current ongoing pandemic that has claimed the lives of over 920,000 people
worldwide since it first appeared in December 2019. There are currently no drugs that can
effectively arrest replication of the virus in people who have contracted the illness. On May 22,
2020, Sunshine Biopharma filed a provisional patent application for several molecules which
were designed by computer-aided modeling to inhibit the Coronavirus proteases, thus shutting
down the ability of the virus to multiply. More recently, Sunshine Biopharma announced that it
has completed the synthesis of four such molecules and is currently testing their inhibitory
activity on SARS-Cov-2 proteases in order to identify a lead compound for further development
as a specific drug for treatment of COVID-19.
About Sunshine Biopharma’s Adva-27a Anticancer Compound
In addition, to working on the development of a treatment for COVID-19, Sunshine Biopharma is
engaged in the development Adva-27a, a unique anticancer compound. Tests conducted to
date have demonstrated the effectiveness of Adva-27a at destroying Multidrug Resistant
Cancer Cells, including Pancreatic Cancer cells, Small-Cell Lung Cancer cells, Breast Cancer
cells, and Uterine Sarcoma cells. Clinical trials for Pancreatic Cancer indication are planned to
be conducted at McGill University’s Jewish General Hospital in Montreal, Canada. Sunshine
Biopharma is owner of all patents and intellectual property pertaining to Adva-27a.
