STC3141 is an extracellular histone neutralizer which is under development for the treatment of sepsis and COVID-19 pneumonia.[1][3][4][2][5][6] It is given by intravenous infusion.[1][2] The drug is a carbohydrate-based polyanion molecule of β-O-methyl cellobiose sulfate sodium salt (mCBS.Na).[4][5][6] It may limit inflammation and organ damage in sepsis by blocking toxic circulating histones in the condition.[6][2] Accordingly, the drug showed preliminary efficacy in reducing sepsis in a phase 2 clinical trial.[6] STC3141 was developed by Griffith University and the Australian National University and is under development by Grand Pharmaceutical Group in China.[1][6] As of January 2026, it is in phase 2 trials, with a phase 3 trial being planned.[1][3][6]
