Prodrug Technology Platform

 

  • Definition of prodrug: Use chemical engineering methods that connect an existing drug with a promoiety to form a prodrug.
  • The prodrug technology we developed can resolve developmental barriers of certain drug candidates; such as solubility, chemical stability, side effects and toxicities.
  • Chemically generate new drug candidate from existing drugs with known healing effect. After the prodrug is absorbed by the human body, through the enzymatic actions or other actions, the original parent drug is released its anti-cancer effect is realized.
  • Prodrugs are new chemical entities that have been patented in the United States, Europe, China, Japan and Taiwan.

Advantages of prodrugs

 

  • Increase the duration of the drug efficacy.
  • Reduce adverse drug reactions and side effects.
  • Improves drug oral absorption.
  • Promote targeted release of drug.
  • Increase patient drug-intake compliance.
  • Improve drug bioavailability(BA)
