About Todos Medical Ltd.Founded in Rehovot, Israel, with offices in New York, Todos Medical Ltd. (OTCQB: TOMDF) designs life-saving diagnostic solutions for the early detection of various cancers. The company’s advanced and patented technology Infrared Biochemical Analyzes (TBIA) is a proprietary cancer screening technology using peripheral blood analysis that examines the influence of cancer on the immune system, looking for biochemical changes in blood mononuclear cells and plasma. The two cancer screening tests developed in-house by Todos, TMB-1 and TMB-2, have received CE marking in Europe. Todos recently acquired a US-based medical diagnostics company Provista DiagnosisInc. to obtain the rights to its CLIA/CAP-certified laboratory based in Alpharetta, Georgia, which currently performs COVID PCR testing, Long COVID sectionl Provista’s exclusive Videssa® breast cancer screening blood test and analyzes at the commercial stage. More information about Provista is available at www.provisadx.com.
Todos also develops blood tests for the early detection of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease. The Lymphocyte Proliferation Test (LymPro Test™) is a diagnostic blood test that determines the ability of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) and monocytes to resist exogenous mitogenic stimulation that prompts them to enter the cell cycle. Some diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, are thought to be the result of compromised cellular machinery that leads to aberrant cell cycle reentry by neurons, which then leads to apoptosis. LymPro is unique in using peripheral blood lymphocytes as a surrogate for neuronal cell function, suggesting a common relationship between PBLs and brain neurons.
Todos formed the majority-owned Israel-based joint venture 3CL Pharma, Ltd with NLC Pharma in March 2022 to consolidate all intellectual property surrounding 3CL protease-based diagnostic tests and the development of botanical and pharmaceutical 3CL protease inhibitors that target a fundamental reproductive system. coronavirus mechanism. 3CL Pharma, through the Todos brand, has commercialized the 3CL Tollovid™ protease inhibitor immune support dietary supplement in the United States, is developing the dual mechanism 3CL protease inhibitor and anti-cytokine therapeutic drug candidate Tollovir™, while also developing the 3CL protease diagnostic TolloTest™.
