US patent 9,051,387: Richard Moss and Ariel Fernandez Create a Molecular Targeted Treatment for Heart FailureBUENOS AIRES, Argentina, June 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Ariel Fernandez Consultancy serves the biotechnology industry by harnessing fundamental discoveries to broaden its technological base. In line with this goal, Richard L. Moss in collaboration with Ariel Fernandez invented a new drug for the molecularly targeted treatment of heart failure. By binding competitively to the myosin regulator MyBP-C, the novel drug disrupts the myosin-MyBP-C association, releasing the "molecular brakes" that cause heart failure.

The molecular target was discovered by Richard MossAriel Fernandez based on molecular engineering concepts like the "dehydron" described in Fernandez's book "Biomolecular Interfaces" (Springer, 2015). Ariel Fernandez Consultancy addresses scientific needs of the pharmaceutical industry, seeking to provide the kind of thought leadership that translates into a competitive advantage. The consultancy harnesses novel scientific innovation to design prototypes with optimized safety, controlled specificity and therapeutic potency. The therapeutic disruption of a protein-protein association is considered one of the most challenging problems in drug discovery. This invention solves the problem, providing a molecular targeted therapy for heart failure. Related Links: Contact Information: Ariel Fernandez This release was issued through WebWire®.
