The Company

SaNOtize, based in Vancouver, Canada, is developing and commercializing products that deliver the natural antimicrobial properties of nitric oxide (NO) for use in common viral, bacterial, and fungal infections. 

SaNOtize was co-founded in 2017 by Gilly Regev, PhD, a biochemist, and Chris Miller, PhD, a longtime leader in the NO field. Together they developed a novel delivery system for NO, enabling it to be used for the first time as a topical antimicrobial. 


During the COVID-19 pandemic, SaNOtize developed its first product — a nitric oxide (NO)-based nasal spray — shown to be effective against intranasal viruses, including SARS-CoV-2. The nasal spray is now registered or approved in more than 20 countries worldwide. Its approval in India marked the first-ever regulatory authorization of a NO-releasing drug to treat an infection.
 

In some markets, the nasal spray is available as a wellness product without treatment or prevention claims. In others, it may be registered with antiviral prevention or treatment claims, depending on the country’s regulatory framework. 

SaNOtize is also advancing a pipeline of topical products designed for skin and nail conditions—bringing nitric oxide to modern dermatology and podiatry. These include cleansers and gels for use by individuals with plantar warts, nail fungus (onychomycosis), athlete’s foot, and other infections. Depending on market regulations, these products may be offered as wellness products, over-the-counter cleansers, or therapeutic treatments. 

The company is guided by a distinguished Board of Directors, comprising global leaders in science, medicine, and business. 

Nitric oxide has the potential to save lives and improve the quality of life for hundreds of millions of people worldwide.
