>>10:31AM BioCryst Pharm: St. Jude Children's Research Hospital announces that peramivir might offer humans significant protection during a pandemic (BCRX) 8.40 -0.10 : St. Jude Children's Research Hospital announces that the antiviral drug peramivir might offer humans significant protection during a pandemic of the avian influenza virus H5N1, according to results of mouse studies conducted by investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Peramivir, an antiviral drug, blocks the ability of influenza viruses to use an enzyme called neuraminidase, thus preventing the release of new virus particles and their spread from one infected cell to another. The researchers reported 100 percent survival among 10 infected mice given intramuscular injections of peramivir daily for eight days. The drug also inhibited the replication of the deadly strain of H5N1 virus in the lung, brain and spleen. The key to the high survival rate was treating the infected mice within 24 hours after infection with H5N1 and continuing the treatment for eight days.<< From Briefing.com. Has stabilized the stock some. No PR from BCRX itself yet. Cheers, Tuck
