They’re On a Mission to Eradicate the World from Disease, with Drugs We Already Have

November 02, 2024

For many of the world’s most widespread and infectious diseases, several effective treatments are already available, approved and known of, but are in need of improvements upon delivery, dosage precision, and supply chain management. One company has emerged as leading candidate to improve upon these treatments through drug repurposing and patented technologies proven to make available medicines much, much better.

Mountain Valley MD (CSE:MVMD) (OTC:MVMDF) is a biotech company with multiple patented streamlined approaches to addressing some of the world’s biggest medical challenges by repurposing and reformulating existing medical and non-medical compounds (drugs, vaccines, nutraceuticals, etc.). The company also has a potentially game-changing, enhanced end-to-end supply chain encompassing the formulation, stabilization, storage, solubility and unique delivery methods of compounds.

High Potential and Industry Anticipation for utilizing drug repurposing to combat both Cancer[4]^,[5] and COVID-19[6]^,[7]
Premium Management Team with a strong pedigree and track record of successes in product development and launches

Prior to the Sars-COV-2 (COVID-19) outbreak, many people remembered the legendary success story of Pfizer and one of the most famous success stories of all time involving drug repurposing—the story of the discovery of Viagra.

Originally developed as an angina medication for sufferers of heart challenges, upon the discovery of a very unique side effect, the little blue pill was repurposed.

A new application was quickly submitted, and within 4 years of this discovery Sildenafil would go on to become Viagra the best-selling erectile dysfunction medication of all time[8] and making Pfizer tens of billions of dollars along the way between its 1998 approval and 2020 patent expiration date.[9]

Even after many new competitors and generics rushed to fill the market, Viagra still generates close to half a billion annually for the drug giant.

Drug repurposing (aka drug repositioning, reprofiling or re-tasking) is a common practice, that when done correctly can be not only quite lucrative, but also quite beneficial to recipients of the newly formulated versions of the medicine.

This is where Mountain Valley MD (CSE:MVMD) (OTC:MVMDF) comes with a distinct advantage among its pharma peers. With multiple patents in hand and even more pending, the biotech developer has the tools in place to repurpose already-approved drugs, in order to make them more effective, more precise, and safer.

And they can do this with a strategy that’s not only more cost-effective than bringing a new drug to market, but also in a fraction of the time.

MVMD has already grown to a market cap of +$100 million and built up a portfolio of 16 Patents/Patents Pending across various delivery technologies, for repurposing of compounds.

Now, Mountain Valley MD (CSE:MVMD) (OTC:MVMDF) is poised for a massive breakthrough, by targeting the repurposing of proven drugs to tackle some of the world’s most concerning illnesses, including cancer and COVID-19.

By implementing enhancements to the solubility of these drugs, as well as introducing a new adjuvant technology that could save the pharmaceutical industry BILLIONS in waste, by reducing reliance on cold chain logistics and dose spoilage.

In short: MVMD makes existing drugs and drug supply chains BETTER.

“The extrapolation of this technology achievement across multiple viral applications could be very significant and has the potential to positively impact human and animal health globally.”

– Dennis Hancock, President & CEO of Mountain Valley MD

MVMD’s Approval Advantage

MVMD’s strategic pathway leverages the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act provision 505b(2): repurposing active ingredients presently in existing drug products for novel uses.

The provision allows MVMD to bridge the gap between what is already known in the biotechnology space to further innovate.

At the forefront of the MVMD advantage are its three flagship technologies:

Quicksom^TM– Formulates normally low-bioavailable active ingredients into highly effective oral product formats, improving delivery into the body.
Quicksol^TM – An advanced solubilization technique to create injectable and liquid formulations.
Dose Sparing Adjuvant – Novel adjuvant (patent pending) with a dose sparing advantage of 10 to 20x.

Patented Quicksome™ liposome technology utilizes an advanced 2-step encapsulation and desiccation process to formulate normally highly un-bioavailable active ingredients into highly effective rapid oral dissolving product formats.

It delivers several benefits to the end user, including:

Fast Acting – Delivers active ingredients into the body faster
Minimizes Side Effects – Reduces dosing and bypasses liver and gastrointestinal tract
Rapid Dissolving – Quick water-free oral dissolution
Needleless – Painless, needle-free administration
No Pills – Eliminates swallowing and related digestion issues
Convenient – Easy to store, carry and consume

“Embedding Mountain Valley MD’s Quicksome™️ technology into our unique mushroom product formulations has allowed us to create a product line that we believe will be unmatched in its efficacy in the marketplace… The initial consumer testing with our energy and sleep products has been very well received. The precision of this delivery technology allows us to build the functional mushroom business out while simultaneously pursuing a leadership position in the rapidly emerging psychedelic space.”

Dose Sparing Adjuvant

MVMD has developed a novel porous aluminum nanostructures for use as adjuvants in vaccines against various infectious diseases, including polio. These porous aluminum nanostructures have a high surface area for vaccine-antigen binding, provide long-term stability in aqueous media, and promote greater stability in harsh environments.

Adjuvant work (proof-of-concept study in progress at Tulane University) is critical to achieving MVMD’s objective to completely eradicate polio, and additionally this program will inform significant dose sparing applications across hundreds of vaccines, including a sublingual polio vaccine candidate.

Making Existing Drugs Better

IVERMECTIN (Ivectosol): MVMD is currently advancing science with repurposed Ivermectin for other indications including COVID- 19, Malaria, Cancer, Head Lice, Dengue, Zika and Yellow Fever, and a host of husbandry parasitic control applications.

Ivermectin’s ability to modulate immune response paves its path as an adjuvant for cancer therapeutics.

Cancer? Yes, Cancer[10]

COVID-19? Yes, COVID-19[11]

MVMD is commencing preclinical trials to prove Ivectosol’s synergy with certain chemotherapeutics and immunotherapeutics in:

– Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC)
– Metastatic melanoma
– Non-small cell lung carcinoma
– Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer

Solubilized Ivermectin from MVMD can now be administered intratumorally, intravenously, via infusions and/or instillation.

This has demonstrate significant improvement over the current oral form ivermectin drug.

MVMD’s offering is a waterless oral dissolve, with dramatically quicker onset, zero decline over extended periods in the body, and less variability.

It requires a fraction of the Ivermectin API, uses strictly excipients that are currently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and is leading candidate for human injection and sublingual applications, broader husbandry and companion animal applications based on low viscosity.

MVMD has targeted implications for COVID-19 viral clearance, prophylactic, and broader applications for the elimination of malaria and dengue.

SELAMECTIN (Selactosol): MVMD has successfully solubilized Selamectin as a possible treatment for Tuberculosis.[12]

In 2020, 10 million fell ill from TB and 1.4 million died – a rate of death of 3,836 people per day. The World Health Organization estimates that 1.8 billion people—close to one quarter of the world’s population—are infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb), the bacteria that causes TB.[13]

The global economic cost of TB is estimated to reach over 16 trillion dollarsand kill 75 million people by the year 2050.[14]

Preclinical trials are underway to validate the indication hypothesis. In March of 2021, MVMD achieved solubilization of Selemectin, and filed a new trademark.[15]

Apply their Quicksol™ solubilization technology, MVMD scientists were successful in solubilizing selamectin at 15mg/ml into a water solution without any organic solvents, a critical achievement to allow formulation into topical application creams, oral rapid dissolve sublingual tablets, and injectable applications.

This could be an absolute game changer for the planet, as according to the TB Alliance, Tuberculosis it is the leading infectious cause of death worldwide[16].
