- Canadian patents assigned to JRB by Dr. Tucker.
- JBR signs agreement with Piramal Enterprises Limited for manufacture of Viright
- JBR begins second round of financing
- Pharmacokinetics of intravenous and intraperitoneal dose administrations and dose range finding studies in rodents were completed. In vitro cytotoxicity assays using U87 glioblastoma cells Human Lung Carcinoma (A-549) and Mouse Fibroblast (L929) cells.
2018
- JBR signs a Master Services Agreement with Charles River Laboratories, Inc.
- Comparative Cytotoxicity (cell killing) experiments with U87 glioblastoma cells were conducted and the concentration of Viright required to kill 50% of the cells (IC50) was used as the standard measure of activity. The observed IC50 for Viright was 0.2 mg/mL. For reference, temozolomide (indicated for glioblastoma brain cancer) when tested in similar cell assays had in vitro cytotoxicity IC50’s >4.9 mg/ml, showing substantially higher effectiveness for Viright.
2019
