BioVie Inc. Appoints Michael Sherman as an Independent Director

BioVie Inc. is a clinical-stage company engaged in developing drug therapies for the treatment of neurological and neurodegenerative disorders and advanced liver disease. In neurodegenerative disease, the Company’s drug candidate NE3107 inhibits inflammatory activation of extracellular single-regulated kinase (ERK) and nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NFkB) that leads to neuroinflammation and insulin resistance, but not their homeostatic functions. In liver disease, its orphan drug candidate BIV201 (continuous infusion terlipressin) is for the treatment of refractory ascites due to liver cirrhosis. BIV201 is administered as a liquid formulation. The Company is also engaged in developing NE3107, an extracellular single-regulated kinase (ERK) inhibitor that selectively reduces neuroinflammation and insulin resistance. NE3107 is an orally administered small molecule to inhibit inflammation-driven insulin resistance and pathological inflammatory cascades.
