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
