Vaccine campaigns are ramping up around the world, but vaccines won't do much good for the thousands of people who will continue to get infected in the weeks and months ahead. The good news is that various COVID-19 treatments are still in development, showing promise in clinical trials. Such is the case for Sanotize’s Nitric Oxide Nasal Spray (NONS), which is apparently very effective at killing the pathogen where the infection starts -- in the nose.
Using a nasal spray to administer life-saving medication isn’t a new idea in COVID-19 therapy research. Some teams are looking at sprays to deploy interferon, synthetic molecules, nanobodies, or an antiviral lipopeptide that could block the virus, and some are testing nasal vaccines for COVID-19. NONS uses nitric oxide (NO), a nano molecule that has a direct effect on the SARS-CoV-2 virus, according to the researchers. The molecule is identical to the nitric oxide molecule used to treat pulmonary hypertension (Blue Baby Syndrome) in babies.
