Our Company

Virex Pharma is developing proprietary nano-emulsion formulations of an anti-viral drug to treat respiratory and encephalitic viral infections.

The Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) has been used as a treatment for Hepatitis B and C  in Asia since 1977 having demonstrated good clinical safety and efficacy in the treatment of hepatitis. Previously delivered intravenously in hospital settings, Virex Pharma has reformulated as a nanoemulsion to deliver it directly into the site of infection in non-clinical settings for respiratory viral infections and as a nasal spray for encephalitic infections.

The antiviral drug has broad spectrum activity against Influenza A A/H3N2, H1N1, H5N1, Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), Herpes Simplex Virus, SARS-CoV (SARS) and SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Coronaviruses.

The Company is developing  nanoemulsion formulations as broad-spectrum antiviral treatments for respiratory and encephalitic infections, initially focusing its development for its use as treatments of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), SARS-COV-2 Virus (COVID-19),  and Dengue.
