Brilacidin: Background Information Brilacidin (PMX-30063) is Innovation Pharmaceutical’s lead Host Defense Protein (HDP)/Defensin-Mimetic drug candidate targeting SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19. Laboratory testing conducted at a U.S.-based Regional Biocontainment Laboratory (RBL) supports Brilacidin’s antiviral activity in directly inhibiting SARS-CoV-2 in cell-based assays. Additional pre-clinical and clinical data support Brilacidin’s therapeutic potential to inhibit the production of IL-6, IL-1, TNF- and other pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines (e.g., MCP-1), identified as central drivers in the worsening prognoses of COVID-19 patients. -
Antibiotic Resistance: from the Bench to Patients

These drugs have saved millions of lives from infections that would previously have been fatal, and later, they allowed for the introduction of surgical interventions, organ transplantation, care of premature infants, and cancer chemotherapy [2]. Nevertheless, the therapy of bacterial infections is becoming less and less straightforward due to the emergence of multidrug resistance (MDR) in these pathogens [3]. Direct consequences of antibiotic resistance include delays in the onset of the appropriate (effective) antimicrobial therapy, the need to use older, more toxic antibiotics (e.g., colistin) with a disadvantageous side-effect profile, longer hospital stays, and an increasing burden on the healthcare infrastructure; overall, a decrease in the quality-of-life (QoL) and an increase in the mortality rate of the affected patients [4,5]. To highlight the severity of the issue, several international declarations have been published to call governments around the globe to take action on antimicrobial resistance [6–9]. Since the 1980s, pharmaceutical companies have slowly turned away from antimicrobial research and towards the drug therapy of chronic non-communicable diseases [10,11]. -

Almost sixty percent of of the Streptomyces sp. R61 D-Ala-D-Ala-peptidase all clinically used antibiotics are beta-lactams, which have been undertaken to investigate how the enzyme stop the growth of bacteria by interfering with their cell- wall biosynthesis. The cell walls are made of glycan chains that polymerize to form a structure that gives strength and shape to the bacteria. An understanding of the process how the cell wall is synthesized may help in designing more potent antibiotics. D-Ala-D-Ala-carboxypeptidase/transpeptidases (DD-peptidases) are penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), the targets of ß-lactam antibiotics such as penicillins and cephalosporins (Figure 1A). These enzymes cata- lyze the final cross-linking step of bacterial cell wall bio- synthesis. In vivo inhibition of PBPs by ß-lactams re- sults in the cessation of bacterial growth. -

Despite early clinical set-backs attention has re-focused on host defense proteins (HDPs), as potential sources for new and effective antimicrobial treatments. HDPs appear to act at multiple targets and their repertoire includes disruptive membrane and intracellular activities against numerous types of pathogens as well as immune modulatory functions in the host. Importantly, these novel activities are associated with a low potential for emergence of resistance and little cross- resistance with other antimicrobial agents. Based on these properties, HDPs appear to be ideal candi- A R T I C L E H I S T O R Y dates for new antibiotics; however, their development has been plagued by the many therapeutic limi- tations associated with natural peptidic agents.
