A class of biodegradable stealth polymers to improve drug delivery

A class of biodegradable stealth polymers to improve drug delivery

Unmet Need Delivery of drugs or therapeutics such as small molecules, peptides, and proteins, in their native form, is limited by their poor stability, low solubility, and short in vivo circulation. These challenges in drug…

Avicins and thioesterification to control protein function

Avicins and thioesterification to control protein function

Value Proposition Thioesterification agents can modify cysteine groups of signaling proteins in order to modify their activity. Pathologies that could benefit from such protein modifications, which modulate physiologic redox status, include atherosclerosis, cancer, bacterial infections,…

A nanoparticle drug delivery system for small molecule cancer drugs that binds endogenous albumin

A nanoparticle drug delivery system for small molecule cancer drugs that binds endogenous albumin

Unmet Need Small molecule cancer drugs often suffer from poor systemic exposure, resulting from their low water solubility and short plasma half-life. Additionally, the off-target toxicity is the main challenge that undermines efficacy. Nanoparticle drug…
