Major Resurgence on BioClonetics; Enzolytics, Inc. (ENZC) Engineered Monoclonal Antibodies & Potent, Non-Toxic Peptides

Published

on

Enzolytics, Inc. (ENZC) is in full beast mode rocketing up the charts in recent days since a brief dip below the $0.40 mark. The stock has been under heavy accumulation recently and volume has picked up substantially since early September when Microcapdaily first covered ENZC when it was just under a penny as a new era of penny stock speculators fueled by robinhood and its 100 million new trading accounts take on the bulletin boards. These are different times than just a few short years ago; now penny stocks such as TSNP can achieve a $6 billion plus market valuation and trade $375 million in dollar volume in a day on the bulletin boards. And TSNP has no stronger fundamentals than ENZC does.   

Enzolytics and its new subsidiary BioClonetics own licensing rights of the Irreversible Pepsin Fraction peptide molecule for the treatment of HIV/AIDS a market expected to be worth $30 billion plus by 2025. The Company also produces targeted (nontoxic) monoclonal antibodies and is now advancing two separate but complementary therapy platforms for treating infectious diseases, targeting HIV and the CoronaVirus. Enzolytics has attracted a major league level management team behind it and has expanded its lab capabilities on the Texas A&M University campus at the Institute for Pre-clinical Studies, where it is producing both addition monoclonal antibodies against HIV and the against covid-19. Last week ENCZ announced the results of an in vitro study of the Company’s ITV-1/IPF peptide treatment that demonstrated the broad efficacy with low toxicity. The Company’s ITV-1 peptide was tested against human corona virus 229E Strain (HCoV-229E) and exhibited comparable efficacy but with a 20-fold lower toxicity than the widely used anti-influenza medicine Tamiflu®. CSO Harry Zhabilov states, “The company has long believed in the efficacy of its product and the results of this study are further evidence of ITV-1 efficacy with low toxicity.”

Enzolytics, Inc. (ENZC) is a drug development company committed to the commercialization of its proprietary proteins for the treatment of debilitating infectious diseases. Enzolytics‘ flagship compound ITV-1 (Immune Therapeutic Vaccine-1) is a suspension of Inactivated Pepsin Fraction (IPF), which studies have shown is effective in the treatment of HIV/AIDS. IPF is the active drug substance of ITV-1 and is a purified extract of porcine pepsin. ITV-1 has been shown to modulate the immune system.

ENZC recently merged with BioClonetics Immunotherapeutics; a Dallas and College Station, Texas biotech company with proprietary technology for producing fully human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against infectious diseases including HIV, rabies, influenza A, influenza B, tetanus, and diphtheria. Its proprietary methodology for producing fully human monoclonal antibodies may be used to produce therapeutics treatments for many infectious diseases including the Coronavirus.

The newly combined Companies are led by CEO and majority shareholder Charles S. Cotropia, a well-known intellectual property attorney who has litigated over 200 patents in his career and served as lead counsel in several landmark patent disputes litigated in Federal Courts and the US Patent and Trademark Office. Mr. Cotropia founded BioCLonetics along with his brother Dr. Joseph Cotropia, MD, who pioneered BioCLonetics proprietary method for creating human cell lines that produce human antibodies directed against many infectious diseases. One cell (designated as CLONE 3) has been demonstrated in multiple tests and 5 Independent studies to neutralize the HIV virus in 98% of all known varieties world-wide. 

ENZC has been rapidly building up an intellectual property portfolio filing numerous patents last year. Most recently, last month, the Company reported it has received the official filing receipt from the U.S. Patent Office confirming the filing of its patent application for “Nuclear Proteins Isolated from Mammalian Spinal Cord Immune Factor – Pharmaceutical Composition for Treatment.”  

The Company’s Genetics and Molecular Biology data science team is now screening (using computer analysis/Artificial Intelligence [AI]) more than 275,000 CoronaVirus isolates now known, to also identify conserved sites which expectedly are immutable. From this information, anti-SARS-CoV-2 (CoronaVirus) monoclonal antibodies will be produced. The significance of producing monoclonal antibodies against conserved target sites on targeted viruses is made evident by the mutant strains of the CoronaVirus currently surfacing in the U.S, South Africa, Brazil, United Kingdom and around the world. The same virus mutation exists with HIV, as well as other well-known viruses. As a virus mutates, a therapeutic becomes ineffective when it neutralizes by attacking a site that changes. By targeting an immutable site, a therapeutic is not affected by the mutation. This is well understood by the necessity to produce a new flu vaccine with each flu season, namely because the flu virus mutates. Producing therapeutics that target a conserved site on viruses makes possible the production of a therapeutic that is not rendered ineffective by virus mutation, and therefore can be applied successfully both universally around the world and durably over time.  

Investor sentiment on ENZC is very high:

ENZC is also applying Artificial Intelligence [AI] to scan the hundreds of thousands of isolates that exist in 14 other prevalent viruses, ranging from influenza to Rabies to Ebola. Using the Company’s proprietary technique for producing fully human monoclonal antibodies directed against these infectious diseases, the Company will produce multiple neutralizing monoclonal antibodies against these viruses. The significance of this approach is well recognized by experts in virology due to the ability of all viruses to mutate and render ineffective initially developed therapeutics.  

On February 16 ENZC announced the results of an in vitro study of the Company’s ITV-1/IPF peptide treatment that demonstrated the broad efficacy with low toxicity. The Company’s ITV-1 peptide was tested against human corona virus 229E Strain (HCoV-229E) and exhibited comparable efficacy but with a 20-fold lower toxicity than the widely used anti-influenza medicine Tamiflu®.

Currently, the ITV-1/IPF therapeutic is being scheduled for further clinical trials to establish the breath of efficacy of the therapeutic. The just completed study was conducted by Professor Petia Genova-Kalou, at the National Centre of Infectious and Parasitic Diseases in Sofia, Bulgaria. In the study, the antiviral capability of Enzolytics‘ ITV-1/IPF peptide inhibitor was measured in comparison to oseltamivir phosphate (Tamiflu®) in an in-vitro testing on cell cultures. The tests examined the effect of ITV-1/IPF on HCoV-229E (human corona virus 229E). The results show that while the tested therapeutics had comparable effectiveness, ITV-1/IPF had a 20-fold lower toxicity than the widely used anti-influenza medicine Tamiflu®. After the 96th hour of treatment, the ITV-1/IPF displayed this significantly lower toxicity. The experiment used from 0.001mg/ml to 1 mg/ml of ITV-1/IPF and Tamiflu® in concentration of range 0.005-2.5 mg/ml. Results showed that when both products were tested in the concentrations mentioned above, the efficacy of ITV-1/IPF against HCoV-229E was 65% and Tamiflu® was 75.5% against the same strain. While the measured effectiveness was comparable, Tamiflu® was found to be 20-fold more toxic than ITV-1/IPF.

CSO Harry Zhabilov states, “The company has long believed in the efficacy of its product and the results of this study are further evidence of ITV-1 efficacy with low toxicity.”

Amgen (NASDAQ: AMGN) and TScan Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: TCRX) Secure Partnership

Published

on

Amgen (NASDAQ: AMGN) and TScan Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: TCRX) today announced a multi-year collaboration that will use TScan's proprietary target discovery platform.

TScan to Receive $30 Million Upfront With Potential Development and Commercial Milestone Payments of Over $500 Million.

Collaboration Brings Together TScan’s Proprietary Target Discovery Platform and Amgen’s Inflammation Therapeutic Expertise and Research Capabilities

Amgen (NASDAQ: AMGN) and TScan Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: TCRX) today announced a multi-year collaboration that will use TScan’s proprietary target discovery platform, TargetScan, to identify the antigens recognized by T cells in patients with Crohn’s disease.

All things considered, this is among one of the largest deals you’ll see for a micro-cap biopharma company. As many of you know, companies in this sector of this size and scale are typically not profitable – mainly focusing on R&D until their drug or technology is fully approved/commercially viable. 

The critical thing to note with this deal between TScan and Amgen is that the cash milestones ensure a cash runway for TCRX, potentially even until they become commercially viable and profitable. 

Here’s a breakdown of the press release in layman’s terms, so anyone without background or knowledge in this space can better understand: 

Amgen and TScan Therapeutics are teaming up to find new treatments for Crohn’s disease, a chronic condition that causes inflammation in the gut. TScan has a unique platform called TargetScan that can identify the proteins recognized by the immune system in people with the disease. Amgen will use this information to create new drugs to treat Crohn’s disease.

As part of the deal, TScan will get an upfront payment of $30 million from Amgen and could earn more than $500 million if the collaboration is successful. Amgen will have the rights to develop and sell any new drugs from this partnership.

Both companies will be responsible for their research costs, and Amgen can expand the collaboration to include another condition called ulcerative colitis. This partnership could lead to new and better treatments for people with Crohn’s disease, who currently have limited options for managing their symptoms.

Here are a couple of blurbs from the management team

“Anti-inflammatory drugs have traditionally been the standard of care for patients suffering from inflammatory bowel disease, but often lack efficacy and durability,” said Raymond Deshaies, Ph.D., senior vice president of Global Research at Amgen. “TScan’s platform provides a best-in-class approach to identify non-conventional drug targets to enable the development of potential first-in-class therapeutics to address unmet medical needs.”

“We’re excited to apply our target discovery platform to the autoimmunity space,” said Gavin MacBeath, Ph.D., acting chief executive officer and chief scientific and operating officer at TScan. “Our TargetScan platform, which we have now extended to identify MHC class II targets of CD4+ T cells, is well-suited for the discovery of antigens targeted by the immune system in inflammatory bowel disease. We look forward to developing the value of our platform both in this partnership with Amgen and in other autoimmune diseases.”

What’s retail saying?

As per usual, with gains of around 135%, you can probably guess that retail is all over it. Investors practically all over the internet keep their eye on the stock for potential entry points utilizing various day trading techniques. 

Interestingly, some traders are surprised it managed to trade such massive volumes early intraday. If you look at their chart from the prior months, the average volume was relatively minuscule – sometimes trading as low as 5K shares a day.  Compared to the ~27M shares traded at the time of writing, that’s a massive shift.

It is worth noting that there has been some speculation about the events that have unfolded and the underlying factors that have led to them. 

We’ve observed a subset of traders that capitalize on the volatility by adopting a watchful approach towards stocks, including $CFRX, to generate quick profits. 

However, it is essential to exercise caution when considering following their lead, given the high risk associated with their investment strategies and the prevailing market conditions. While we do not typically recommend emulating their investment decisions, it may be an intriguing endeavor for those willing to assume a certain level of financial risk with funds they can afford to lose.

About ContraFect Corp (NASDAQ: CFRX)

ContraFect is a company that focuses on finding new ways to treat life-threatening infections resistant to antibiotics. Antibiotic-resistant infections are responsible for an estimated 700,000 deaths each year worldwide. ContraFect is developing new medical treatments called DLAs that include lysins and amurin peptides. Lysins are antimicrobial proteins that can quickly kill target bacteria, including those in biofilms, and can work with traditional antibiotics. Amurin peptides can fight many antibiotic-resistant Gram-negative pathogens, including P. aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Enterobacter species. ContraFect believes that lysins and amurin peptides will effectively fight antibiotic-resistant organisms, such as MRSA and P. aeruginosa, which can cause serious infections. The company has completed a Phase 2 clinical trial for their lead lysin candidate, exebacase, designated by the FDA as a Breakthrough Therapy for treating MRSA bloodstream infections, including right-sided endocarditis, when combined with traditional antibiotics.
