  3. Naked Viruses Gary E. Kaiser

  4. What are enveloped viruses?

  5. Skeleton • Enveloped and Naked Viruses • Modes of Infection • LJ-001

  8. Skeleton • Enveloped and Naked Viruses • Modes of Infection • LJ-001

  9. LJ001an aryl methyldienerhodanine derivative • A small anti-viral molecule effective against enveloped (but not naked) viruses. Wolf et. al.

  10. LJ001 acts on virus membranes in an irreversible manner Wolf et. al.

  11. Broad Spectrum • Influenza A • Filoviruses • Poxviruses • Arenaviruses • Bunyaviruses • Paramyxoviruses • Flaviviruses • HIV-1 • Hepatitis C • Ebola • And others

  12. Viruses lack a ‘biogenic’ membrane • Viruses can’t make their own proteins or repair their membrane like a cell can

  13. How?

  14. Russell Kightley Media

  15. Wolf et. al.

  16. How we would use this • Still very early in development, further testing needed • Shorten Viral Infection Course • Preventative Measure? • Could be put in condoms • New treatment for multiple viruses • Eliminate temporary infections • Fight Chronic ones • LJ001 is effective at very low doses • Potentially Excellent Therapeutic Index

  17. Sources (pictures not from papers) • Russell Kightley Media • Virco Online • Humanitarian Futures Programme • Gary E. Kaiser • HOPES (The Huntinton’s Disease Outreach Project for Education) at Stanford • Molecular Station
