Sonoma Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: SNOA) und die MicroSafe Gruppe geben bekannt, dass die Australische Therapeutische Gesundheitsbehörde (TGA) die erweiterten Anwendungsansprüche für Nanocyn® Disinfectant and Sanitizer genehmigt hat. Das Produkt, das von Sonoma unter Verwendung seiner patentierten Microcyn®-Technologie hergestellt wird, ist nun für die Anwendung gegen Candida auris (C. auris) und Clostridium difficile (C. diff) mit einer Abtötungszeit von 10 Minuten zugelassen.
Zuvor war Nanocyn® mit einer Abtötungszeit von 15 Sekunden gegen SARS-CoV-2 und einer von 30 Sekunden gegen Norovirus, Influenza A (H1N1) und Bakterien wie MRSA genehmigt. Auch die EPA der USA hat Nanocyn® als wirksames Desinfektionsmittel gegen verschiedene Krankheitserreger genehmigt. Diese erweiterte Genehmigung hebt die breitere Wirksamkeit von Nanocyn® hervor und dessen Potenzial, die Sicherheit der Patienten im Gesundheitswesen zu erhöhen.
- Extended TGA approval for Nanocyn® against C. auris and C. diff
- Broad-spectrum efficacy against multiple pathogens
- Rapid kill times (15-30 seconds) for various bacteria and viruses
- U.S. EPA approval as an effective disinfectant
- Longer kill time (10 minutes) for C. auris and C. diff compared to other pathogens
The TGA's approval of Nanocyn® Disinfectant and Sanitizer for use against Candida auris and Clostridium difficile is a significant development in infection control. This expands the product's utility in healthcare settings, particularly for combating hospital-acquired infections. The 10-minute kill time for these pathogens is competitive, though not exceptional. The product's broad-spectrum efficacy, including against SARS-CoV-2, Norovirus and MRSA, enhances its value proposition. However, it's important to note that while effective, Nanocyn® is not a silver bullet and should be part of a comprehensive infection control strategy.
This regulatory approval could potentially boost Sonoma Pharmaceuticals' market position in Australia and globally. The expanded claims for Nanocyn® against C. auris and C. diff address critical needs in healthcare facilities, potentially driving demand. However, the impact on revenue remains uncertain without sales projections or market size data. The partnership with MicroSafe Group for distribution is noteworthy, but its terms and potential impact on Sonoma's financials are unclear. Investors should monitor how this approval translates into market penetration and revenue growth in upcoming quarters.
While this regulatory approval is positive news for Sonoma Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: SNOA), its financial impact remains uncertain. The company's stock may see a short-term boost, but long-term value depends on successful commercialization. Sonoma's market cap of

(Nasdaq:SNOA), a global healthcare leader developing and producing patented Microcyn® technology based stabilized hypochlorous acid (HOCl) products for a wide range of applications, including wound care, eye, oral and nasal care, dermatological conditions, podiatry, and animal health care, and its partner, the MicroSafe Group DMCC, announce that the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has approved extended claims for Nanocyn® Disinfectant and Sanitizer, which is manufactured by Sonoma for its partner MicroSafe using Sonoma's patented Microcyn® technology.

The TGA has now also approved Nanocyn® for use against Candida auris (C. auris) and Clostritium Difficile (C. diff.) in ten minutes.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has previously approved Nanocyn® as an effective bactericidal (MRSA, Salmonella), virucidal (Mpox, SARS-CoV-2), and fungicidal disinfectant for use on pre-cleaned, hard, non-porous surfaces.
"The MicroSafe Group is proud to have Nanocyn®'s effectiveness further validated by the TGA, especially against critical pathogens like C. auris and C. difficile," said Safa Qadumi, CEO of MicroSafe Group. These claims highlight Nanocyn®'s rapid, non-toxic disinfection capabilities, providing hospitals and other settings with a safe and effective solution to combat harmful infections and enhance patient safety," Mrs. Qadumi added.
"We are excited to obtain these additional claims from the Australian TGA, as we continue to make advancements as a broad-use technology against harmful bacteria, viruses and fungi, while meeting high safety standards," said Amy Trombly, CEO of Sonoma Pharmaceuticals. "According to the CDC, C. auris can cause severe multidrug-resistant illness in hospitalized patients, and C. diff causes inflammation of the colon and can be life-threatening. Our Microcyn technology creates a safer environment for all patients."
