Interferon beta (IFN-β) is a naturally occurring protein, which orchestrates the body's antiviral responses. Viruses, including coronaviruses, have evolved mechanisms which suppress natural IFN-β production, thereby helping the virus evade the immune system.
What is Interferon Beta
Watch this short animation to learn more about IFN-β, a naturally occurring protein which orchestrates the body's antiviral responses.
Watch this short animation to learn more about the benefits of direct delivery to the lungs versus systemic delivery of IFN-β.
Delivering Interferon Beta to the Airway
Host-directed antivirals strengthen the cell’s antiviral defences, so they are better able to fight off the virus.
Watch this short animation to learn the difference between host-directed antivirals and direct-acting antivirals.
Synairgen's primary focus is developing inhaled interferon beta to meet the urgent need for the treatment of severe viral lung infections.
