モベリ・ファーマ、テルビナフィン感受性とMOB-015に関する新たな解析をJournal of Fungiに発表
モベリ・ファーマは、爪白癬の原因となる皮膚糸状菌に対するテルビナフィンの強力な抗真菌活性を示す新たな解析の発表を明らかにした。この解析では、MOB-015により、ベースラインのテルビナフィン感受性の全範囲にわたって真菌学的治癒が達成され、in vitro感受性が低下した患者においても治癒が確認された。解析は、MOB-015の48週間毎日投与を評価した以前に完了した北米第3相試験のデータに基づいており、爪白癬患者から得られた506株の皮膚糸状菌分離株を含んでいる。ベースライン分離株のうち、MIC値が少なくとも0.5マイクログラム/ミリリットルに上昇していたのはわずか3.2%であり、評価可能な試験終了時結果が得られたMOB-015治療患者のうち74.3%が真菌学的治癒を達成し、ベースラインMIC値が上昇していた3例中2例も含まれていた。この研究は、オハイオ州クリーブランドのケース・ウェスタン・リザーブ大学のマフムード・ガンヌーム教授との共同で実施され、論文「In Vitro Terbinafine Susceptibility of Dermatophytes and Mycological Cure Outcomes from a Multicenter Phase III Onychomycosis Trial」はJournal of Fungi, 2026, 12(10), 739に掲載された。モベリ・ファーマの最高科学責任者であるアミール・タバコルは、抗真菌薬耐性への関心が高まる中でこの結果は心強く、MOB-015の科学的基盤をさらに強化するものだと述べた。

サンシャイン・バイオファーマは、新型コロナウイルス治療薬の主力候補をIND申請に向けた研究段階へ進めたと発表した。選定された化合物はPLproプロテアーゼ阻害薬で、ウイルスプロテアーゼに対してナノモル濃度で効力を示し、in vitroで懸念されるSARS-CoV-2変異株に対して広域活性を示したほか、マウス、ラット、イヌで高い経口バイオアベイラビリティを示し、マウスとラットの肺に優先的に集積した。ヒトSARS-CoV-2に感染させたK18-hACE2マウスでは、反復経口投与により肺内のウイルス複製が用量依存的に有意に抑制された。スティーブ・スリラティ最高経営責任者(CEO)は、今回の前進を戦略的に重要な進展であり、同社の創薬基盤を裏付けるものだと述べ、規制上の規律を保ちながらプログラムを加速していると付け加えた。同社は以前、抗コロナウイルス化合物ライブラリーに関する実験結果を2024年8月と2026年3月にJournal of Medicinal Chemistryで発表している。サンシャイン・バイオファーマは現在、カナダ市場で60種類のジェネリック処方薬を販売しており、2026年の残りの期間にさらに約12種類の薬剤を投入する予定である。
