Bioxytran Develops a Groundbreaking Treatment to Combat Bird Flu in Egg Laying Chickens Potentially Saving Billions
New water-soluble galectin antagonist being considered in preclinical trials offering hope for rapid containment to H5N1 outbreaks
Excerpt from the Press Release:
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, March 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BIOXYTRAN, INC. (OTCQB: BIXT) (the “Company”), a clinical stage biotechnology company developing oral and intravenous drugs to treat viral diseases, unveiled a potential game-changer in the fight against Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), commonly known as Bird Flu. This innovative water-soluble galectin antagonist, currently in preclinical trials, could revolutionize how outbreaks are managed in egg-laying chickens, preventing mass culling and safeguarding the global food supply. Bioxytran’s treatment leverages galectin antagonists, a class of molecules designed to block viral entry into cells, by neutralizing the virus in egg-laying chickens. This approach could prevent the spread of H5N1 without the need for mass culling, a current requirement during outbreaks.
Galectin antagonists have shown their ability to block viral adhesion. This has been proven in Phase 2 human clinical trials and in vitro tests. The Company thinks this mechanism works the same in all mammals. This is the reason why the Company expects it to be very effective in chickens. While the Company is also working on establishing the optimal delivery method, it is actively seeking partnerships with organizations and government agencies to accelerate the development and deployment of this groundbreaking treatment.
“This breakthrough represents a significant step forward in our mission to combat viral diseases,” said David Platt, CEO of Bioxytran Inc. “By targeting the virus directly, we can protect both animal health and the global food supply. Our galectin antagonists block the spike proteins outside the cell. This may stop the spread of the disease right away. Our peer-reviewed study showed that our carbohydrate-based galectin antagonists attach to viral spike proteins. This stops the proteins from connecting to cells.
