A Next-Gen Polymer Therapeutic
Our proprietary POZ platform is based on a synthetic, water soluble, low viscosity polymer called poly (2-oxazoline). During the synthesis steps, a predictable amount of drug is incorporated on the backbone of the polymer using pendant alkyne groups and metal catalyzed “click chemistry”.
POZ technology provides greater control in drug loading, and the rate of release of attached drugs can often be more precisely controlled. Drugs with narrow therapeutic windows can be designed to maintain more desirable and stable levels in the blood. The technology is optimized for small molecules and can also be applied to proteins, aptamers and other classes of molecules.
