Article content The results, announced on May 7, 2021, demonstrate the mechanism of action of ArtemiC™ is to reduce inflammation and suppress the cytokine storm 2 – believed to be the one of the leading causes of mortality in COVID-19 patients 3. The results show that ArtemiC™ decreases the markers of inflammation (IFN-g, IL-1a and TNF-a), in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of mice in the animal model of cytokine storm related to COVID-19. The clinical and preclinical results to date support ArtemiC™ being effective for addressing cytokine overproduction which is found in different variants and mutations of COVID-19. “ArtemiC™ focuses on preventing and reducing the severity of the cytokine storm and hyper-inflammation induced by respiratory viruses, and since all current COVID-19 variants of concern may lead to a cytokine storm, the preclinical and clinical results support that ArtemiC™ should be effective on COVID-19 variants,” said Tom Glawdel, PhD, Chief Operating Officer, Glow LifeTech.
