Immunology Journal Publishes Data For Adamis' COVID-19 Candidate

* Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (NASDAQ:ADMP) has announced Tempol data publication in the peer-reviewed journal Clinical Immunology.

* Tempol is a novel antioxidant that inhibits both activated T cell and APC (Antigen Presenting Cell) derived cytokines in-vitro from COVID-19 patients.

* The studies conducted at the Human Immune Monitoring Center at Stanford University investigated the effects of Tempol on immune cells from COVID-19 patients.

* The authors conclude, "Preincubation of immune cells with Tempol resulted in a significant (P<0.05) decrease in multiple T cell and APC-derived cytokines from both cells of COVID-19 and uninfected donors.

* Dr. Holden Maecker, Director of the Human Monitoring Center at Stanford University, commented: "These results suggest that Tempol has strong, broad in-vitro anti-cytokine activity.

* In animal models, Tempol has been shown to decrease proinflammatory cytokines (cytokine storm) and lung inflammation.

* In addition, Tempol works as an antioxidant and has demonstrated decreasing harmful reactive oxygen species and platelet aggregation.
