Revolutionising Snakebite Treatment: Affordable, Fast-Acting, Oral Therapy for a Global Crisis.
1. Introduction to Antigenika's Snakebite Therapeutic
Revolutionising Snakebite Treatment with Oral Therapy
At Antigenika, we are committed to addressing the global health crisis of snakebites. Our innovative oral combination therapy offers a game-changing solution for snakebite envenoming, providing an accessible, cost-effective, and easy-to-administer treatment option for high-risk populations.
With over 5 million snakebites annually, the need for effective treatments has never been greater. Our therapy is designed to be used in the crucial first hours after a bite, potentially saving lives by stabilising patients before they reach a hospital or clinic for further treatment.
2. Why Our Therapy?
A Rapid, Scalable, and Affordable Solution
Snakebites are one of the most neglected tropical diseases, and the lack of rapid treatment options has led to high mortality and long-term disabilities. Our oral therapy is designed to address these challenges by offering a fast-acting and scalable solution that can be administered in both emergency settings and at home before seeking professional medical care.
Key Features:
Oral Administration: Unlike traditional antivenoms, which often require injection, our therapy can be easily taken orally, making it suitable for use in remote areas with limited access to healthcare.
Fast-Acting: Designed to work quickly, the therapy can neutralize toxins in the body and stabilize patients in critical conditions.
Affordable: We are focused on keeping our therapy affordable for low- and middle-income countries, making it accessible to the most vulnerable populations.
3. How It Works
A Multi-Pronged Approach to Combat Snakebites
Our combination therapy utilises a blend of well-researched and FDA-approved small molecules, each targeting different mechanisms involved in snake envenoming. This synergistic approach helps mitigate venom toxicity, particularly from the smaller venom components, such as three-finger toxins and neurotoxins, which are typically difficult to treat.
Therapeutic Action:
Neutralizing Toxins: The drug works by inhibiting key enzymes and proteins in the venom, reducing tissue damage and stopping the spread of toxins through the body.
Supporting Organ Function: The therapeutic helps protect vital organs like the heart, kidneys, and liver from venom-induced damage.
Preventing Long-Term Disabilities: By neutralizing venom quickly, the therapy reduces the risk of permanent damage, such as limb amputations or paralysis.
4. Market Impact
A Potential Game-Changer for Global Health
Each year, snakebites account for more than 100,000 deaths globally, with millions more suffering from long-term disabilities. Our therapy has the potential to significantly reduce both mortality and the economic burden of snakebites by providing a rapid, affordable treatment option.
Market Opportunity:
Over 5 million snakebites annually in regions across Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
A rapidly growing market, with the snakebite treatment market valued at over $4 billion.
Global distribution, with plans to distribute through hospitals, primary health centers, and mobile clinics to reach remote and underserved communities.
5. Our Vision
