            Fujifilm Says French Ebola Patient Taking Its Avigan Drug

            By Rin Ichino Sep 26, 2014 5:50 AM CT

            Fujifilm Corp. (4901) said its influenza medicine Avigan is being given to an Ebola patient at a French hospital along with another experimental drug, the latest treatments to be deployed in a global push to curtail the deadly virus.

            The French National Agency for Medicines and Health Products Safety asked for the drug and the female patient has been given the combination since Sept. 19, the Japanese company said in a statement today.
            ...
            The Fujifilm treatment, also called favipiravir, was discovered by Yousuke Furuta at the Toyama Chemical unit of Tokyo-based Fujifilm in 1998. It targets polymerase, an enzyme viruses use to replicate inside the body, to stop the viruses from spreading.
            ...
            ?We?re getting many requests from other countries, international organizations, and medical organizations as well,? Takahiro Taguchi, a spokesman at Fujifilm said by phone. As Avigan is originally a flu drug, the company has the capability to produce the drug continuously and deal with a rapid increase in demand, he said. The company has enough stock for 20,000 Ebola patients.

            Fujifilm?s U.S. partner MediVector Inc. in Boston is in talks with the Food and Drug Administration to submit an application to use the drug in humans for Ebola, a U.S. Department of Defense spokeswoman said in August.
