The experts at ProSolus, Inc. are at the forefront of transdermal technology, continuously evolving mechanisms that control the predictability of drug release. Our research and development team works collaboratively with strategic suppliers to create polymers and design combinations of excipients that improve the absorption of medications through the skin without having to resort to exotic permeation enhancers.Focused on what lies ahead, our team continues to explore methods to optimize transdermal drug delivery, including:
- Maximizing thermodynamic driving force
(solubilization to quasi-saturation) - PRO-DRUG Formulation
- Lower melting point
- Enhanced lipophilicity
- GRAS listed chemical enhancement
- Enable channeling through stratum corneum
(inter as well as intracellularly) - Avoid irritant molecules
Focused on what lies ahead, our team employs several intellectual property strategies:
- “Picture Claims:” Very specific claims that go to the exact composition, typically containing the phrase; “consisting essentially of”
- Novel delivery modality wherein a previously unpublished chemical shows significant improvement in performance usually called “enhancer patents”
- Unique or novel adhesive/polymeric combinations
- New chemical entities
- Pharmacokinetic-based claims wherein a specific type of pharmacokinetic curve and/or blood level range as a function of time is unique
- “Making the old new again” consists of utilizing expired or expiring patents and enhancing their stated performance with novel polymers and/or excipients
ProSolus strives to develop elegant, effective, and efficient Transdermal Drug Delivery systems that optimize delivery technology and represent the best of our strategic thinking. Our goal is to meet your needs, exceed your expectations, and deliver transdermal technology worthy of our stamp of approval.
