ITEM 8. NATURE OF ISSUER'S BUSINESS.
NanoViricides, Inc. (the “Company”), is a nano-biopharmaceutical company whose business goals are to discover, develop and commercialize therapeutics to advance the care of patients suffering from life-threatening viral infections. We are a development stage company with several drugs in various stages of early development. Our drugs are based on several patents, patent applications, provisional patent applications, and other proprietary intellectual property held by TheraCour Pharma, Inc., to which we have the necessary licenses in perpetuity for the treatment of the following human viral diseases: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV/AIDS), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV), Influenza and Asian Bird Flu Virus. We focus our research and clinical programs on specific anti-viral solutions.
We are seeking to add to our existing portfolio of products through our internal discovery and clinical development programs and through an in-licensing strategy.
The Company owns exclusive worldwide license in perpetuity to technology that enables the creation of “nanoviricides (tm)”. A nanoviricide is a flexible nano-scale material about the size of a few billionths of a meter,that is chemically programmed to specifically target and attack a particular type of virus, like a guided missile. A nanoviricide also is capable of simultaneously delivering a devastating payload of active ingredients into the virus particle, thereby completely destroying the enemy, like a suicide bomber.
