About ARX1088
The active ingredient in ARX1088 is an orally active interferon inducer. It primarily acts as an inducer of type I, alpha or beta interferon. In humans, these interferon levels double as early as four hours after administration of the drug. After 12-24 hours the levels can be one hundred or even several thousand fold higher, with maximum level achieved at 48 hours. It is a drug that is currently approved to treat certain anti-viral indications outside USA. ARX1088 is being developed as a topical treatment for herpes Simplex 1 and 2, as the mechanism of action is not directed at killing the virus, but through boosting the host's own immune system.
