Global pharmaceutical leader AstraZeneca has recently announced a licensing agreement with Nanoform, a Finland-based pharmaceutical technology company, to integrate supercritical fluid (SCF) nanotechnology for drug crystallization and optimization at the nanoscale. This cutting-edge technology demonstrates enormous potential in enhancing drug solubility and bioavailability, providing innovative solutions for poorly soluble drugs.
As a global leader in liposomal and nanomedicine drug delivery technologies, Litchlab is actively integrating SCF nanotechnology with its liposomal drug delivery platform to improve the stability and efficacy of RNA therapeutics, oncology drugs, and vaccines.
Compared to traditional small-molecule drugs, liposomes have emerged as a core technology in nanomedicine due to their biocompatibility, high drug encapsulation efficiency, and controlled release properties. By combining supercritical nanotechnology, Litchlab is further optimizing liposomal drug delivery systems to advance RNA therapeutics, targeted cancer treatments, and vaccine development.
