Our Subsidiary is focusing on the development, manufacturing and commercialization of therapeutic drugs designed to address viral diseases in humans. The Company has developed a novel method designed to reduce the viral load and modulate the immune system using a Galectin Antagonist. The lead drug candidate is a glyco-virology platform technology named ProLectin, a complex galectin antagonist that binds to, and blocks the activity of galectin-3, a type of galectin. During viral infections galectins are upregulated and downregulated based on the type of virus. To our knowledge, Pharmalectin, Inc. is the only company planning to develop, what we believe is a viable, end-to-end solution for upper respiratory viruses. We are also the only company, to our knowledge, attempting to use a Galectin Antagonist to combat upper respiratory viruses, eg SARS-CoV-2, Influenza N1H1 and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV).

Previous wording
We do not currently have sufficient capital resources to fund operations. To stay in business and to continue the development of our products, we will need to raise additional capital through public or private sales of our securities, debt financing or short-term bank loans, or a combination of the foregoing. We believe that if we can raise $3,700,000, we will have sufficient working capital to develop our business over the next approximately fifteen (15) months. At funding raised that is significantly less than $3,700,000, we can likely continue to develop our business over the same 15-month period, but funding at that level will delay the development of our technology and business.

Bioxytran, Inc. is headquartered in Needham, Massachusetts. The Company’s initial product pipeline is focused on developing and commercializing therapeutic molecules for stroke. BXT-25 will be designed to be an injectable anti-necrosis drug specifically designed to treat a person immediately after that person suffers an ischemic stroke. The drug is designed to be injected intravenously to travel to the lungs to pick up oxygen molecules to carry to the brain. Like a red blood cell, the drug will cross the blood brain barrier, which is a protective semi-permeable membrane allowing some material to cross but preventing others from crossing. BXT-25 will be designed to diffuse oxygen into the brain tissues. We expect the BXT-25 molecule to be 5,000 times smaller than a red blood cell.
