Glenpharma AB Sweden

   Glenpharma AB is a small privately owned research spin-off from Pfizer-Pharmacia, formed in Sweden in 2002 to exploit novel technology patented by its founders. 

We offer patented synergistic combinations of biopolymers for 

a) accelerated repair of acute tendon /ligament injuries in human applications ( such as sprained ligaments / tendons in shoulder, elbow, knee, ankle, etc , in both sports injury scenarios and in the elderly ) , or in veterinary indications (e.g. high performance horses) .  The product accelerates healing at least 3 times faster than the normal healing process. 

b) for prevention of unwanted adhesions between tissues after major thoracic, abdominal , fertility or orthopedic surgery. In studies on prevention of difficult adhesions after cardiac surgery, for example, adhesion scores were < 10% of those in control groups.

c) for effective control of acute pain in advanced joint disease (osteo-arthritis (OA)  .  Clinical documentation in advanced OA indicates that onset of pain relief is much faster and of longer duration than current standards for viscosupplementation. 

Each of the above biopolymer "viscous fluid implants" are also ideal drug delivery media for treatment of ancillary complications.

All component biopolymers are well documented APIs, i.e. without the toxicty and other regulatory issues generally associated with "New Chemical Entities".  Glenpharma´s current patent protection covers most major international markets including USA, Europe and P R China.

Glenpharma is primarily seeking Chinese partners for out-licensing within the fields of orthopedics or major surgery.. If neccessary , we can offer contract-manufacturing options in Europe if not available in China.

NeuroZone Italy

Neuro-Zone, since 13 years, supports drug discovery, drug repurposing and research projects in the fields of inflammation and age-related pathologies.
In particular, we have developed pathology-specific platforms to generate rapid and informative data on efficacy, toxicity, metabolism and mechanism of action, supported by proprietary technologies such as MicroTISSUE (dissecting microenvironment-cell interaction in complex inflammatory scenarios) or MITOS (a comprehensive analytical platform for quantitative analysis of mitochondrial function ).
Our approach enables effective selection and ranking of the most promising candidates per indication.
Moreover, we profile candidates at different level of complexity starting from:
a) pharmacology profiling (GPCR; Ion Channel receptors)
b) identification of biochemical pathways responsible for therapeutic efficacy (transcriptomics)
c) disease modified barrier permeability (BBB and endothelial)

Rius Medical unique position as CDMO (contract development and manufacturing organization) is not limited to drug delivery. Yes, drug delivery programs bring EUR 130 million revenue sooner than “Rius Medical’s blood transfusion” program. However, Rius Medical’s path to becoming a market leader in healthcare in promoting excellence, innovation and good business practices, is driven by its “blood transfusion” program. The Plan in China is local Jobs in China for manufacturing of stem cells derived “blood transfusion” products. Also drug delivery via "Third-Generation red blood cells for drug delivery" that addresses Rare Diseases, Oncology and Autoimmune Diseases like type 1 diabetes, is region-specific; as in Europe, USA and China regions due to ABO blood group and other antigens being region-specific!
