ADVANTAGES OF COVX-BODIES: A PEPTIDE & ANTIBODY FUSION
CovX-Bodies are well characterized molecules that contain the beneficial properties of both peptides and monoclonal antibodies while minimizing the weakness of each. CovX-Bodies provide a superior platform for drug development and commercialization.
Peptide Strengths
- Human compatibility
- Rapid manufacture
- Readily accessible diversity
Peptide Weaknesses
- Poor pharmacokinetics
- Frequent dosing
|
 |
Antibody Strengths
- Extended Half-Life
- Bivalent
- Human compatibility
Antibody Weaknesses
- Costly development cycle
- Large, front-loaded investment
|
CovX-Body Advantages
- Extend peptide actions from minutes to weeks
- Potent and long-acting molecule
- Can block physiologically important protein-protein interactions
- Antibody bivalency enhances biological activity
- Rapid scale-up and development
- Tunable and predictable half-life based on therapeutic needs
- Cost-effective
- Well-characterized and scalable manufacturing process
- Enables creation of novel molecules and intellectual property
