Sirona Biochem Antiviral Compounds to be Tested Against SARS-CoV-2 by Top US Testing Facility
Sirona Biochem Corp. (TSXV: SBM) (FSE: ZSB) (OTC: SRBCF) (“Sirona“) announces the advancement of 20 antiviral compounds to In Vitro testing. The compounds will be shipped to the Utah State University’s Institute of Antiviral Research for evaluation against the SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19).
Sirona’s French subsidiary, TFChem, has created a novel and patentable library of 20 compounds that are designed to target the COVID-19 virus by targeting the host cell and not the virus itself. When a virus enters a cell, it induces a “cytopathic effect” which refers to structural changes in the host cell, that allow the virus to replicate. In SARS-CoV-2, the virus causes plaque-like effects in the human cells of the lung. Mechanisms such as cell fusion, apoptosis (death) and destruction of epithelium integrity are all observed in the plaque regions (Nature Communications, 2020, https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-17796-z). Sirona’s antiviral compounds are intended to prevent the cytopathic effect from occurring.
The results will be completed in approximately 6 weeks.
“Since the compounds are designed to target the host cell and not the virus itself, we have a unique approach that is based on our proprietary technology. We have seen the number of variants that the SARS-CoV-2 virus has. It will continue to mutate, creating new strains, so there is a strong need for compounds like these that are not targeted to a specific virus,” said Dr. Howard Verrico, CEO of Sirona Biochem. “It is now time to push this program as quickly as possible, adding to a robust and valuable pipeline that will attract the right kind of partners. For this project, we have already been in preliminary discussion with a company that has expertise in antiviral clinical trials. The results from these preliminary studies will be key to moving forward with potential partners in 2022.”

Glen Eagle Selling $1 Million Dollars of Dore, Including 2000 Ounces of Silver
Glen Eagle Resources (TSXV:GER) (OTC:GERFF) (“Glen Eagle” the “Company”, or “GER”) is pleased to announce that from September to year end, the Company will have sold approximately CDN $1,000,000 dollars in dore bars and projecting to double its sales in Q1-2022 based on the feed and grade discovered at La Esperanza II. The values intersected are summarized for the first time in the table below and detailed in prior News Releases dated November 24 and December 9, 2021.
COO Karl Trudeau comments “Having been in Honduras recently to look at Cobra Oro operations, I was pleased by the ergonomics of the plant and its future potential as the inventory of spare parts is slowly being replenished, lowering the risk of plant failures. Some challenges are still lying ahead, but I remain confident that the company will be successful at turning around several aspects of its business, including a very positive ramp up operation still in progress at its gold processing facility in Southern Honduras.”

Sirona Biochem Provides Update on SGLT2 Inhibitor for Type 2 Diabetes in China
Sirona Biochem Corp. (TSXV: SBM) (FSE: ZSB) (OTC: SRBCF) (“Sirona“) announces that it has received notice that the development of Sirona’s SGLT2 inhibitor, TFC-039, will be discontinued by Wanbang Biopharmaceuticals (“Wanbang“) as a treatment for type 2 diabetes in China.
TFC-039 was licensed to Wanbang, a wholly owned subsidiary of Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical Group, in 2014. Sirona received a total of USD 1.5 million in up front and milestone payments.
“To this point, Wanbang has remained dedicated to the development of the drug, completing the IND and advancing through and completing its Phase I clinical trials. During 2021, they indicated that they were extensively analyzing the clinical results and that delays were the result of COVID closures and restrictions. This year, Empagliflozin (developed by Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly) failed to uphold patent protection in China, which created a generic environment for SGLT2 inhibitors. It was reported to us TFC-039 performed well in the clinical trials, however, given the generic situation, it did not make good business sense for Wanbang to continue a lengthy and costly development”, said Dr. Howard Verrico, CEO of Sirona Biochem.
“While this is disappointing, we still see a path forward for TFC-039. We are working on several opportunities (both existing and new) for animal care globally. Our science team is also working on a new therapeutic indication, with potential strong advantages for TFC-039 compared to other compounds of the same class. This new indication has both unmet need and tremendous commercial value. The work done to date by Sirona and Wanbang will provide added value towards these opportunities, and we will also explore future involvement with Wanbang. Further dialogue will be occurring between Wanbang, and Sirona and any material news will be released accordingly.”
About Wanbang Biopharmaceuticals and Fosun Pharmaceuticals
Wanbang Biopharmaceuticals develops, manufactures and sells drugs with indications for chronic disease treatment, antibiotics, and other endocrine diseases in China. Founded in 1981, they are presently headquartered in Xuzhou, China, and are a subsidiary of Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical Group.
