Delivering Therapies:  Overcoming Barriers

For years, delivering to the Central Nervous System (CNS) and taking therapies across the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) has impeded the efforts to find realistic and safe therapies for the CNS diseases.  We have built SMDG's research and development platform on the guiding principles that a safe and effective delivery platform will allow scientists to create better and efficacious medicines for many neurological diseases and that an effective broad delivery platform should work for many other diseases too.  With that in mind, we set out to design our platform in order to create better medicines and more effective and safe therapies. 

NanoCarrier Ligands (NLC)     are a new novel class of nanoparticles.  NLCs    are unique self-assembled peptidic particulate systems that target the blood-brain barrier as well as other biological barriers.

SMDG's innovative and patent-protected NLC     technology could be used for targeted delivery of therapeutic and diagnostic agents.  

The NLC     technology is based on "safe-by-design" and "simple-by-design" concepts that actively deliver therapeutic molecules to the target cells.
