Problem

Currently, about 30% of drugs that appear on the World Health Organization (WHO) Essential Drug List were reported to be poorly water-soluble, based on the Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) . Over 40% of newly developed pharmaceutically active substances have solubility issues. The poor dissolution and/or permeability of these drugs often result in low and highly variable bioavailability. The major obstacle of successfully commercializing these compounds is the difficulty of enhancing their dissolution rate and extent of dissolution

More Specific ProblemsIn a word: bioavailability. As much as $40 billion is invested annually in drug discovery. Unfortunately, many of the drug leads that result exhibit poor water solubility and an inability to deliver therapeutic agents in vivo. In fact, it's estimated that 40-50 percent of these new chemical entities are poorly water soluble. (which leads to a number of otherwise promising technologies to be abandoned)Despite the solubility issue, worldwide sales of poorly soluble drugs are about $108 billion and it is going to increase further. It is reasonably expected that improving water solubility would only increase this number.The result is inefficiency in the R&D process. Due to the challenges of evaluating efficacy in biologic models for a poorly bio-available compound, these compounds are often shelved with no further development activityeven if they show promising therapeutic activity in cell culture. Medas hybrid formulation technology addresses this problem by improving water solubility, bioavailability, effectiveness and efficiency.Poor water solubility for many drugs and drug candidates remains a major obstacle to their development and clinical application. Conventional formulations to improve solubility suffer from low bioavailability and poor pharmacokinetics, with some carriers rendering systemic toxicities (e.g. Cremophor1 EL).

Available Solutions & LimitationsHere are some basic pluses and minuses of the different options.pH adjustment is the best option if you can get decent solubility and good stability within a reasonable pH range. Although you have probably heard pH 4 pH 10 batted around, there is really no fixed range of acceptable pH. It depends on rate, duration, and route (small vein versus large vein) of administration and on the buffer capacity of the formulation.

Cyclodextrins are the next best option in terms of safety and ease of preparation, but until someone forks out the cash for a good enough lawyer to challenge the very questionable Jannsen/J&J patent on hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin, there will be licensing arrangements and royalties involved. Nephrotoxicity is the primary physiological issue associated with cyclodextrins, but as long as you dont give too much too fast, you should be okay.

Co-solvent formulations typically require very high concentrations of co-solvents, and these formulations are not dilutable without precipitation. Because of their high osmolality, these formulations must be administered through a large vein, where there is good blood flow.

Micellar formulations are easy to prepare but have a major liability, which is that they tend to cause the occasional patient to go into anaphylaxis. In many cases a drug can be dissolved in a mixture of a solvent and a surfactant such as Cremophor or Polysorbate to provide a dilute-for-use formulation. Generally patients will need to be pre-dosed with steroids and antihistamines so that the drug product doesnt accidentally kill them.

Emulsions and liposomes have generally low toxicity profiles but are a pain to make. Liposomes tend to have a lot of physical stability issues and are typically lyophilized. However, this is good and bad since, unlike emulsions, they can be lyophilized quite easily. The one caveat to the good safety profile of these formulations is that they can cause hyperlipidemia and liver enzyme elevation if too much is administered too fast.Analytical Methods The main analytical consideration specific to poorly soluble drugs is being sure that the sample preparation solvent will fully dissolve the drug without, of course, messing up the chromatography. Another consideration is that in doing particulates testing (USP) you will be looking not only for foreign particles but for precipitated drug as well. The microscopic method of USP is helpful in determining the difference between the two.Preclinical Testing You need to be wary of the effects the formulation can have on different species of animals in selecting toxicology species. For example, dogs are particularly susceptible to surfactant-induced anaphylaxis and cannot be used for evaluation of micellar formulations.

What We Offer New concept and new approachThere have never been used two active molecule in nanomedicine There have never been developed a hybrid nanomedicineThere have never been used an active molecule to developed a water soluble drug formulation Two water insoluble drugs have never been used to developed a water soluble formulation, at least without changing the chemistryChemistry of individual drugs remains unchangedIT IS NOT JUST SOLUBILITY BUT A BETTER TREATMENT

Hybrid-Nanoengineering Technology Advantages New discovery and patentedSynergistic effectsPotentiating effectsPassive targeted nanomedicineLess toxicLow manufacturing costMultiple mode of action

A major driving force in the hybrid drug development community is to overcome one of the worst things that can happen to a drug: the development of resistance in its target population. In most such hybrids, the two drug like portions, also called pharmacophores, have independent modes of action that make the emergence of drug resistance less likely.

Why Paclitaxel?There are 1989 ongoing clinical trials associated with Paclitaxel in various combinations and formulation compositions. Among them 83 are with nanoparticles. This reflect a further growth of the product.

Why after Abraxane is success?The data from the study, presented at ASCO by lead investigator Hope Rugo at the University of California, San Francisco, stated that median progression-free survival was 10.6 months for those receiving paclitaxel, 9.2 months for nab-paclitaxel, and 7.6 months for ixabepilone.

VisionStrategyApproachHypothesis and Vision: I was looking to take nanotechnology to next level by; a) Hybrid in nature to achieve better potency b) Different material to create nanomedicine c) Less expensive to manufacture d) To beat the state being in use but a rose is a rose and is still a rose almost 400 years after Shakespeares death. Basically, there are still only a small handful of ways of solubilizing a drug and still not killing the patient. These include pH adjustment, co-solvents, molecular complexation agents (cyclodextrins), micellar dispersions, emulsions, liposomes, but really not anything else. If anyone knows a truly different method not listed above, please let me know.

We have beaten this statement by our invention.

The COX-2 produced by a malignant tumor and COX-2 produced by the surrounding host tissue both contribute to new vessel formation, which explains how selective COX-2 inhibition reduces tumor growth where the tumor COX-2 gene has been silenced by methylation
