Technology Platform

ACON Pharma's drug delivery technology platforms span lipid nanoparticles, liposomes, nanoparticles, nanocrystals, microspheres, nanoemulsions, micelles, resinates, oral dissolving films, and transdermal systems.

Lipid Nanoparticles (LNP)

LNP technology for siRNA, mRNA, and CRISPR-Cas9 delivery systems. Our proprietary LNP formulations enable efficient encapsulation and targeted delivery of nucleic acid therapeutics.
Lipid Nanoparticles (LNP)

Liposome

SUV (Small Unilamellar Vesicles, 20-100 nm): Doxorubicin Liposome. LUV (Large Unilamellar Vesicles, >100 nm): Amphotericin B liposome. OLV (Oligolamellar Vesicles, 0.1-1 um). MLV (Multilamellar Large Vesicles, >0.5 um). MVV (Multivesicular Vesicles, >1um): Bupivacaine Depofoam Liposome.
Liposome

Nanoparticles (20-200 nm)

Paclitaxel Albumin-bound Nanoparticles and Docetaxel Albumin-bound Nanoparticles. Our nanoparticle technology enables improved drug solubility and targeted delivery.
Nanoparticles (20-200 nm)

Nanocrystals (20-1000 nm)

Paliperidone Palmitate Nanocrystals. Nanocrystal technology for enhancing the bioavailability of poorly soluble drug compounds.
Nanocrystals (20-1000 nm)

Microspheres / Microparticles

Microspheres loaded with small molecules (50-100 um): Risperidone Microspheres. Microspheres loaded with peptides (20-50 um): Leuprolide Microspheres. Uniform monodispersed microspheres (20-200 um).
Microspheres / Microparticles

Nanoemulsion & Self-emulsifying System

Nanoemulsion (10-1000 nm) is kinetically stable and is used to enhance the solubility of BCS II and IV drugs to improve bioavailability. Microemulsion (10-8000 nm) is thermodynamically stable and is used to enhance the solubility of BCS II and IV drugs to improve bioavailability.

Micelle

Micelles are self-assembling nanosized colloidal particles with a hydrophobic core and hydrophilic shell currently used for the solubilization of various poorly soluble pharmaceuticals. Micelles normally have particle size within the 5-50 nm range. The concentration at which the monomeric amphiphile forms micelles is called the critical micelle concentration (CMC).
Micelle

Resinate

Resinate is an ion-exchange resin, in which drug molecules are loaded inside resin matrix. Drug can be released slowly through the coating on the surface.

Oral Fast Dissolving Film (ODF)

ODF uses a dissolving film or oral drug strip to administer drugs via absorption in the mouth (buccally or sublingually). ODF avoids first pass effect and offers fast drug on-set time. No water is required for administration.
Oral Fast Dissolving Film (ODF)

Transdermal and Topicals

A transdermal patch is a medicated adhesive patch that is placed on the skin to deliver a specific dose of medication through the skin and into the bloodstream. Transdermal avoids first pass effect and offers long term pharmacological effect. The therapeutical effect can be local (Topicals) or systemic.
