		<title>SAVIRA PHARMACEUTICALS AWARDED GRANT BY THE TECHNOLOGY AGENCY OF THE CITY OF VIENNA (ZIT) FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF DUAL INFLUENZA POLYMERASE INHIBITORS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Savira pharmaceuticals receives funding of 458,125 EUR from the Technology Agency of the City of Vienna (ZIT) for the development of novel influenza therapeutics with dual mechanism of action. Based on Savira's experience in the design of mono-selective inhibitors of the influenza polymerase cap-binding and endonuclease active site - both targets are involved in the so-called cap-snatching mechanism - the company now aims at the design of a therapeutic capable of targeting both domains by one single molecular structure. With this approach, Savira not only expects to improve potency of their flu polymerase inhibitors but also anticipates a further reduction in antiviral drug resistance.]]></description>
