Drug delivery technologies
Drug delivery technologies
Active ingredients are not effective if they do not reach efficiently where they are supposed to act, and they can also cause unwanted side effects if exposure is inappropriate.
Why delivery technologies?
Delivery technologies allow us to protect active ingredients from degradation, control interaction with the environment in biological media, directing drugs where they should act, releasing them at the right place and time. In short, improving their bioavailability and efficacy:
What do we offer?
At CIDETEC we have great experience in the development of polymeric nanoparticles, emulsions, lipid-based systems, hydrogels, and nanogels to design customized delivery systems with application in various sectors.
We work from design, synthesis, process development and scaling-up, also incorporating complete characterization techniques and biological evaluation.
Skin delivery systems:
We have patented technologies for the encapsulation of active ingredients for cosmetics. The developed systems respond to skin stimuli and provide additional functionality. In this sense, we collaborate with our spin-off EMISSARY Cosmetics: we can develop and validate a new active based on available technologies, and EMISSARY can manufacture and supply it on an industrial scale.
Nanoparticles for drug delivery:
Design of new tailored encapsulation systems, so that we can protect active ingredients depending on the specific application, controlling the release profile.
Biological evaluation:
We can perform tests on cell culture and skin models.
For Whom?
Our capabilities and infrastructures
We have a highly qualified interdisciplinary team with experience in research, transfer, scaling-up, and regulatory. Additionally, we have:
R&D Laboratories
We work on the functionalization and synthesis of natural origin polymers, prototype development, and proof of concept.
Pilot Plant
We have pilot plants for the production of emulsions with a reactor and a high-pressure homogenizer. Additionally, equipment for continuous production of lipid and polymeric nanoparticles. Freeze-drying equipment.
Cell culture laboratory
For biological evaluation, including cell studies and skin models.
