Nanomerics Receives Further Upfront Payment for Anti-Viral Spray AnQlar(TM)

LONDON, UK / ACCESSWIRE / March 22, 2022 / Nanomerics Ltd., a private speciality pharmaceutical company, today announced the receipt of a further milestone payment on agreeing the expansion of its anti-viral spray licence (AnQlar™) to Virpax Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:VRPX). Nanomerics recently agreed an expansion of the current North America licence to include world wide rights to the asset. This licence was accompanied by an up-front payment and a conversion of future payments to a fixed percentage of revenues, as is usual with over the counter medicines deals.

Nanomerics' Chief Executive Officer stated, "I am really pleased that we were able to agree on the terms for the expansion of our commercial agreement with Virpax Pharmaceuticals and we look forward to further development of AnQlar™ by our partner". AnQlar™ is being developed as an anti-viral prophylactic nasal spray, which should protect against respiratory viruses, including the multiple variants of SARS-COV-2.
