Midatech and Monosol Rx Announce Filing of Joint Patent Application for Nanoparticle Film Delivery Systems

18-Aug-2010 - United Kingdom

Midatech Group Ltd. and MonoSol Rx announced the filing of a provisional US patent application for “Nanoparticle Film Delivery Systems.” The applications submitted to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) relate to therapeutic uses of nanoparticle-based proteins and peptides delivered in pharmaceutical films.

The Nanoparticle film delivery system could be used to overcome the difficulties associated with the delivery of biologic therapies to the circulatory system, allowing for a unique, more effective, convenient and efficient delivery system of biologics, through buccal or sublingual administration.

The delivery system facilitates transport of a therapy into the bloodstream without exposure to the gastrointestinal tract of the patient, avoiding gastrointestinal destruction and/or side-effects often associated with the oral drug delivery of certain molecules. Additionally, the combination of these technologies allows for the oral delivery of an entire class of therapies previously available primarily through injection.

The joint patent application relates to film delivery systems comprising nanoparticles, particularly for use in medicine, and includes methods and systems for the treatment of disorders of blood glucose in diabetic conditions. The patent is directed at compositions, delivery systems, products and methods of making and administering such compositions to sufferers.
