About Sunshine Biopharma

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the causative agent of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic that has claimed the lives of over 6.4 million people worldwide since it first appeared in December 2019. Sunshine Biopharma is working on the development of a treatment for COVID-19 and has completed the synthesis of four potential inhibitors of PLpro and subsequently identified a lead compound, SBFM-PL4. In addition, the Company recently expanded its research efforts into finding other PLpro inhibitors by entering into a collaboration agreement with the University of Arizona. The collaboration is focused on determining the safety, pharmacokinetics, and dose selection properties of three University of Arizona owned PLpro inhibitors, to be followed by efficacy testing for SARS-CoV-2 in animal models. The Company holds the first option to negotiate for a commercial, royalty-bearing license for all intellectual property related to the project.

In addition to working on the development of a treatment for COVID-19, Sunshine Biopharma is engaged in the development of anticancer therapies, including (i) Adva-27a, a small molecule targeted for multidrug resistant cancer, and (ii) recently identified mRNA molecules displaying anticancer properties. The mRNA molecules have a potential of being delivered to patients using the recently developed RNA vaccine technology. Tests conducted on Adva-27a have shown that it is effective 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.
