About Panacos

Panacos is developing the next generation of anti-infective products through discovery and development of small molecule oral drugs for the treatment of HIV and other major human viral diseases. Panacos' lead candidate, PA-457, is the first in a new class of oral HIV therapeutics under development called maturation inhibitors, discovered by Panacos scientists and their academic collaborators. By targeting a novel step in the virus life cycle, maturation inhibitors are designed to have potent activity against a broad range of HIV, including strains that are resistant to existing classes of drugs. Drug resistance is the most pressing problem in HIV therapy and the leading cause of treatment failure. Panacos' proprietary discovery technologies focus on novel targets in the virus life cycle, including virus maturation and virus fusion.
