Drug Delivery

The heart of the matter

Together with academic and industrial partners, Nanologica is developing drug delivery systems for therapeutics and diagnostics.

Silica nanoporous drug delivery systems offer high stability, high carrier capacity, feasibility of incorporation of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic substances and compatibility with different administration routes (oral, inhaled, etc.). Nanologica’s materials are designed to allow controlled (sustained) drug release from the matrix. All these properties result in improvements in drug bioavailability values and dosing frequency, and may resolve the problem of non-adherence to prescribed therapy. Silica powders are an approved food additive (E551 under EU regulations; categorized as “unlimited daily intake” under WHO regulations). Porous versions of amorphous silica offer an inexpensive and safe route for the design of new drug delivery vehicles.
