able cerebral
Able Cerebral is currently apply phase III clinical study with FDA for its controlled release of brain energy product. The product has shown remarkable therapeutic effectiveness for mid-stage and early stage Alzheimer's disease.
Able Cerebral is also developing a game changing, non-invasive medical device that will consolidate and recovery of brain memory for mid-stage and late stage Alzheimer's disease.

HEC Pharm
HEC Pharm focuses on the development and commercialization of pharmaceuticals for the therapeutics of anti-infectious diseases, metabolism disorders and oncology. We are hunting for the opportunities of co-development and in-license of the candidates with the potential therapeutics in previous fields.

Senior Business Development ManagerJianmin Pharma Group
Jianmin Group (600976.SSE) is an integrated pharmaceutical company with a major focus on pediatric product development, manufacture, and marketing. Founded in 1953, headquartered in Wuhan, the largest city in Central China, its history can be traced back to 17th century. Jianmin has been a famous pharma brand in China among children and their parents for generations. Its rich pediatric portfolio ranges from nutrition, hematology, respiratory, digestive, CNS, to infections and common cold as well.

Head of Business Development
MSL Pharma
As an early-stage company, in order to reduce overhead costs, we effectively act as the project manager – we plan the assays and subcontract the early development stages to university labs, and the later stages to CROs that specialize in the different fields. The Company monitors the results, determines next steps and fundraises for the next phases of development. We believe that working with leading experts at CROs is critical for success.
The Company has licenses for platform technologies which are progressing to several different projects; as such it is planning to out-license at various stages of development.
Synthesis of cyclic peptides which are peptidomimetics
MSL Pharma has the capability to identify “active regions” of proteins and peptides, to isolate them and to turn them into cyclic peptides which are selective for the desired receptors and stable, thereby preventing off-target activation and adverse effects (see Asset, Table 1).
Drug delivery systems for peptides and other molecules
MSL Pharma has two technologies for drug delivery (see Mode of Delivery, Table 1) that achieve unprecedented bioavailability:
1. Lipophilic prodrug charge masking (LPCM) technology for the oral delivery of peptides. This technology makes a chemical modification in a peptide to be converted to oral delivery, to produce a prodrug of this peptide. This causes it to be absorbed through the intestinal cell and once the prodrug enters the blood stream, it converts back to the original peptide. Typically, the Pgp Efflux system limits the prodrug absorption; we have overcome this with an approved self-assembling PNL (pro-nano liposphere) encapsulation system, itself a self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS), which increases prodrug solubility and inhibits the Pgp Efflux system.
2. A novel nanoparticle formulation called AmyloLipid Nanovesicles which is constructed of natural materials and therefore safe ,biodegradable and has an advantage for the delivery of peptides. This technology is used also for the delivery of other molecules, can be used for nose-to-brain, sublingual, transdermal and probably also oral delivery, and can be applied to our assets (Table 1) or existing assets (Table 2).
A novel smart multi-armed linker for targeted drug delivery
Our linker can be used for peptide-drug conjugates (PDCs), antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and nanoparticle-drug conjugates (NDCs). Our linker releases the payload (chemotherapeutic drug or fluorescent) only in the tumor cells and can bind up to three payloads (see Table 3). We have demonstrated that using two or three different drug payloads kills the tumor cells more potently and with less drug resistance developing.
Discovery of novel peptides for peptide-drug conjugates
We have technologies to synthesize novel peptides which will bind to receptors overexpressed in certain tumors so that we will be able to use them for synthesizing peptide-drug conjugates (PDCs) to diagnose and treat different tumors. We already have at our disposal peptides that bind to the five different somatostatin receptors (overexpressed in pancreatic, gallbladder, breast, ovary, prostate, melanoma, lymphoma, glioblastoma, colon and non-small-cell lung tumors) and to certain integrin receptors (overexpressed in tumors such as breast, glioblastoma, leukemic cells).
