NanoViricides updates progress on Phase 1a/1b clinical trial of antiviral drug candidate NV-387

NanoViricides

NanoViricides CEO Dr Anil Diwan joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share exciting updates on their antiviral drug candidate, NV 387. The drug, developed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, demonstrated exceptional safety in clinical trials, even at the highest dose levels, with no adverse events reported. The unique mechanism of action involves mimicking a cell membrane, encapsulating and blocking the virus. The clinical trials involved both oral tablets and oral gummies, catering to various age groups, including pediatrics. NV 387 exhibited broad-spectrum activity against multiple strains of coronaviruses, showcasing effectiveness 10 times greater than remdesivir in preclinical studies. Beyond COVID-19, the drug also displayed promising results against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), offering a potential solution for infants and seniors where existing treatments like ribavirin may be contraindicated due to side effects. Dr Diwan highlighted the drug's versatility, suggesting applications against other respiratory viruses and even biodefense-related infections like smallpox. The ongoing clinical trial progress and positive results position NanoViricides at the forefront of antiviral drug development, marking a significant milestone in their journey from preclinical research since 2005 to clinical trials.

GinsGlobal Index Fund CEO reveals surging trends in Cloud Technology and impressive ETF gains

HANetf

Anthony Ginsburg, CEO of GinsGlobal Index Fund, discusses the positive trends in cloud technology in an interview with Proactive's Steve Darling. The Cloud Technology ETF has experienced a significant uptick, with a 10-12% increase in the last three weeks.

Cloud technology is expected to generate over $1.5 trillion in additional revenue by 2027, driven by increased spending on AI, particularly by major players like Nvidia. Ginsburg highlighted the recession-resistant nature of cloud technology, offering companies flexible, month-to-month contracts that reduce costs and reliance on physical infrastructure. He noted that cloud adoption is expanding beyond SMEs to include highly regulated sectors such as banks and healthcare companies.

The international exposure, along with the strong performance of software and cybersecurity companies, contributes to the fund's impressive 50% year-to-date gains. As the cloud continues to evolve, Ginsburg remains optimistic about its future impact on global business. Contact Details Proactive Investors +1 347-449-0879 na-editorial@proactiveinvestors.com

Major Crypto Analyst Predicts Ripple to Spike 4,500%, Solana to Rise Above $100, Everlodge To 35x

Total Media

The Solana (SOL) trading volume exceeded $6 billion, and these stats can support an ongoing price rally. Crypto analyst Altcoin Sherpa also predicts that the crypto can experience a massive surge during 2024. Egrag Crypto, another notable analyst, projects that Ripple (XRP) could push toward the $6 to $7 range, assuming that it passes the crucial milestones of $3 and $5.80. Everlodge (ELDG) is also picking up a lot of attention, as it can disrupt the $280 trillion real estate sector. Today, we will jump into each one to see how far they can spike. Summary Solana can reach $104.49 based on Altcoin Sherpa analysis Ripple to surge to $27 in value by 2025 Everlodge to see a 35x upswing in value Solana (SOL) to See an Upswing to Over $100 Solana's (SOL) volume exceeded $6 billion, resulting in an increase in its appeal and usage. Analysts are also giving crypto attention, as crypto analyst Altcoin Sherpa recently noted how he is bullish on the future of Solana. They expect the cryptocurrency to correct and that a sub-$50 entry is ideal for the crypto. Based on the Solana price prediction by the analyst, it can hit three digits in 2024, and based on on-chart data, this signifies a climb to $104.49. Ripple (XRP) Projected to Spike 4,500% Ripple (XRP) also saw an influx in activity. According to a major crypto analyst known as Egrag Crypto, the price can surge as high as $7.

Everlodge (ELDG) to Enable Simple Access to the $280T Market Aside from Solana and Ripple, another crypto that is gaining a lot of attention is Everlodge. This is an upcoming platform that will democratize the $280 trillion real estate industry and will make it accessible to anyone globally. Traditionally, accessing these markets was difficult as properties would cost millions of dollars. But the approach Everlodge takes is unique, where it can essentially mint a $7,000,000 property in the form of an NFT on-chain. Then, it will fractionalize it across 70,000 pieces, all of which can be worth $100 each. Then, anyone can buy a single fraction or multiple fractions in different properties in order to diversify their holdings. As the property appreciates in value, the NFTs will climb in value in parallel to it. If it's a rental property, those holding it can get passive income. The native ELDG crypto is used for governance but can also be staked for passive income. The platform also features a Rewards Club where anyone can get access to free nightly stays and even re-sell them for additional capital gains. Now, the project is at stage seven of the presale, trading the token at $0.025. At launch, analysts project a 35x climb in its value. Visit Everlodge Contact Details Everlodge Team pr@everlodge.io

First Phosphate CEO reveals game-changing partnership with Sun Chemical

First Phosphate Corp.

First Phosphate Corp CEO John Passalacqua joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news of a significant partnership with Sun Chemical Corporation, marked by a non-binding memorandum of understanding. The collaboration aims to develop intermediates used in the manufacturing of lithium iron phosphate-based cathode active material, addressing the growing demand in the North American battery market. This strategic agreement will leverage First Phosphate's phosphate material, along with its partner's expertise, to produce iron phosphate. Sun Chemical, a prominent producer of inorganic pigments, will utilize its established North American facilities for this purpose. One of the key advantages of this collaboration is Sun Chemical's existing local factory capacity in North America and Europe, ideally suited to support the emerging battery materials market. The manufacturing processes for co-precipitation-based cathode materials are comparable to those used for inorganic pigments, making this partnership a natural fit. Additionally, both companies plan to explore the best sources of iron for the iron phosphate and lithium iron phosphate synthesis process. This collaboration will take into consideration Sun Chemical's current manufacturing capabilities of iron oxide precursors and First Phosphate's mining source recovery of magnetite. As the demand for battery materials continues to rise in North America and globally, this partnership between First Phosphate and Sun Chemical aims to provide a sustainable and efficient solution for the production of cathode active material, contributing to the growth of the battery industry and supporting the transition to cleaner energy sources.

Vivos Therapeutics

Vivos Therapeutics CEO Kirk Huntsman joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a significant milestone for the company with its first-ever 510(k) clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The clearance is for the treatment of severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adults using Vivos' removable CARE oral appliances. This clearance covers Vivos' CARE appliances, which include the flagship DNA oral appliance, the mRNA oral appliance, and the mmRNA oral appliance. Vivos is now the first company to receive FDA approval and bring to market a clear alternative treatment for patients with severe OSA, offering an alternative to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy or surgical neurostimulation implants. This achievement follows closely on the heels of Vivos' previous FDA 510(k) clearance granted just eleven months ago, allowing the company to treat mild-to-moderate OSA with its DNA oral appliance. This recent clearance marks the first time the FDA has ever granted approval for an oral appliance to treat both moderate and severe OSA in adults aged 18 and older, in combination with positive airway pressure and/or myofunctional therapy as needed. Vivos Therapeutics' dedication to advancing innovative treatments for sleep apnea underscores its commitment to improving the quality of life for individuals suffering from this condition. With this latest clearance, the company is positioned to provide an effective and accessible treatment option for a broader range of OSA patients, offering hope for improved sleep and overall well-being.
