Double-Stranded RNA Viruses-focused Research-grade Drug Discovery Service

Double-stranded RNA viruses represent a significant portion of infectious diseases. Creative Biolabs is at the forefront of providing comprehensive services dedicated to drug discovery for double-stranded RNA viruses. Focusing specifically on research-grade drug development, our unique platform is designed to facilitate in-depth infection studies of double-stranded RNA viruses.

Insight into Double-Stranded RNA Viruses

  • Double-stranded RNA viruses, characterized by an RNA genome in a double-stranded form within the viral particle, often cause diseases in eukaryotes.
  • The RNA is replicated using the original negative strand as the template for the positive-stranded RNA. The creation of a new negative strand from the positive-stranded RNA results in the formation of the daughter RNA.
  • The self-replication process of these viruses necessitates the use of host cell mechanisms. Thus, interfering with the genome replication of double-stranded RNA viruses presents a viable approach to drug discovery.
  • Several diseases are caused by these viruses, including Rotaviruses, the major cause of acute gastroenteritis (primarily in infants and young children), and Reoviruses, which cause mild upper respiratory infections and are being explored for cancer therapy.

Unlike single-stranded RNA and DNA viruses, dsRNA viruses replicate their genomes in double-membrane vesicles secluded from cytoplasmic defenses, challenging traditional antiviral strategies. Consequently, there is a compelling need for enhanced drug development and alternative therapeutic strategies to combat these viruses.

Service Highlights: What We Offer

Comprehensive target identification.

Our services are focused on comprehensive target identification, where we conduct rigorous screening of both viral and host factors that play a crucial role in the infectious life cycle of double-stranded RNA viruses.

In vivo and in vitro assay development.

We have an expert team onboard, who develop highly specialized assays that are used to probe viral replication, inhibition, and drug resistance. These tests help researchers understand how these viruses react under different environmental conditions and therapeutic interventions.

Pharmacological assessment.

We carry out exhaustive analyses for your lead compounds including pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies, toxicity assessment, and efficacy evaluations in pertinent viral disease models.

Guidance from experts.

Our seasoned team of virologists, chemists, and pharmacologists provides skilled guidance at every stage of your project.

Values of Drug Discovery Focused on Double-stranded RNA Viruses.

Advancing medical research.

Success in this area might stimulate advancements in the broader field of antiviral drugs, perhaps leading to therapies for other types of viral diseases.

Addressing antiviral resistance.

Many existing antiviral drugs are becoming less effective due to the development of resistance. New drugs that target different mechanisms can help counter this growing problem.

Public health benefit.

A successful drug against double-stranded RNA viruses would mean a significant reduction in morbidity and mortality rates in human populations affected by these diseases.

Prevention of epidemics.

The ability to effectively treat double-stranded RNA viruses can prevent the growth of isolated cases into large-scale epidemics or pandemics which can have devastating health and socioeconomic impacts.

Research-grade drug development focused on double-stranded RNA viruses is valuable for the prevention and control of transmission as well as for viral research. Creative Biolabs provides reliable services to support drug discovery for double-stranded RNA viruses. Please contact us to learn more.
