A stable, easily manufactured intranasal oxytocin formulation that contains only food grade preservatives

A stable, easily manufactured intranasal oxytocin formulation that contains only food grade preservatives

Unmet Need Current formulations of oxytocin used for the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders have several drawbacks. For example, many intravenous and intranasal formulations, like those approved in Europe, contain preservatives like chlorobutanol which is highly…

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…

A tumor-targeting delivery method for chemotherapeutics and other cargo

A tumor-targeting delivery method for chemotherapeutics and other cargo

Unmet Need Delivery and therapeutic efficacy of small molecule imaging agents and chemotherapeutics are hampered by their short half-life, low solubility, non-selectivity to cancer cells, and toxic side effects. Small molecule chemotherapeutics, although in routine…

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…

Thermally-responsive elastin-like peptides for improving the efficacy of anticancer agents

Thermally-responsive elastin-like peptides for improving the efficacy of anticancer agents

Unmet Need The goal of chemotherapy is to deliver an anticancer agent, typically a small molecule, at a high dose to a tumor to kill rapidly proliferating tumor cells. Unfortunately, the maximum dose of many…
