Aphios Granted US Patent For Combination HIV Latency Nanoparticles Towards an HIV Cure

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, February 8, 2022

The Aphios 11,234,932 patent is part of a family of patents for a combination of two Latency Reversal Agents (LRAs) -- a Protein Kinase C (PKC) modulator of the anti-tumor class, ‘Bryoids’ and a Histone Deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor co-encapsulated in long-circulating pegylated nanoparticles to purge latent HIV from cellular reservoirs. These patents are for the nanoparticles, medications, their manufacturing and uses. The two LRAs act synergistically. Bryostatin-1 activates, via a classical PKC pathway, transcription factors such as NF-κB that binds HIV-1 promoters and regulates their transcription, while the HDAC inhibitors increase histone acetylation, relaxing (opening) chromatin and facilitating the transcription of HIV-1 genes.

Key Points: 
  • Aphios Corporation announced today that it has been granted US Patent No.
  • 11,234,932 for treating HIV latency towards an HIV cure.
  • HIV, however, establishes latent long-term infection in a small pool of memory CD4+ T (immune) and other cells, which contain integrated but transcriptionally silent HIV provirus.
  • There are no commercially available drugs for treating HIV latency and/or curing HIV.
