Island Pharmaceuticals Limited 

Island Pharmaceuticals Limited functions as a pharmaceutical enterprise dedicated to drug discovery and repurposing, with a specific focus on creating preventative or therapeutic solutions for viral infections. Its lead therapeutic agent, ISLA-101, is currently under development for both preventing and treating dengue fever and other illnesses transmitted by mosquitoes. The company participates in various strategic collaborations, including a research partnership with Monash University to evaluate known molecules against host targets, and a research and development alliance with Griffith University aimed at screening for active antiviral compounds through a systematic repurposing approach. Additionally, Island Pharmaceuticals has a research agreement with Compounds Australia, providing access to an extensive drug library containing roughly 4,500 molecules for potential drug repurposing and pipeline enhancement. In anticipation of its ISLA-101 Phase II clinical study, the company has also established a cooperative research and development pact with the U.S. Army. Other key agreements include a supply contract with Catalent for the production of Fenretinide softgels for individuals participating in dengue fever trials, and the entitlement to reference the National Cancer Institute's Investigational New Drug (IND) application for ISLA-101. The company, founded in 2017, is based in Camberwell, Australia.
