Korneuburg, Austria, 03 November 2021 – Marinomed Biotech AG (VSE:MARI), an Austrian science-based biotech company with globally marketed therapeutics derived from innovative proprietary technology platforms, announced today the launch of Solv4U, a new business area enabling the development of innovative formulations in technology partnerships based on the clinically proven Marinosolv platform. Solv4U is designed to support clients with formulation development to increase both solubility and bioavailability of hydrophobic small molecules and peptides in all stages of drug discovery. It has been clinically shown that Marinosolv allows a pronounced reduction in the amount of an API in a formulation with an improved therapeutic effect suggesting a more targeted, more precise, and more sustainable treatment compared to existing options.
“We are excited that with our new business area, Solv4U, the advantages of Marinosolv are now available for pharma- and biotech customers through technology partnerships. High bioavailability is a key requirement in drug development and with Solv4U partnerships, we can provide a clinically validated solution,” said Dr. Eva Prieschl-Grassauer, Chief Scientific Officer of Marinomed.
“Solv4U will contribute to a successful drug development at all stages with novel targeted formulations enabling more precise and more sustainable drugs with patent protection,” said Dr. Susanne Bach, Senior Manager BD&L for Solv4U. “Solv4U partnerships may help to improve and facilitate both local or systemic therapies based on Marinomed’s expertise gained from internal projects and studies performed for clients.”
The development of hydrophobic highly active compounds is often hampered by their low local and systemic bioavailability resulting in excessively high dosing of the drug to compensate for the lack of efficacy. Solv4U partnerships address this inherent challenge in drug development and rely on a clinically proven technology. Formulations based on Marinosolv are well-tolerated when administered locally or systemically allowing various applications in different indications.
The patented Marinosolv technology offered to Solv4U partners is based on micelles and is customized for individual compounds to achieve an optimal formulation.
For more information on Solv4U, visit the new Solv4U website, get in touch with Marinomed directly, or meet us, in person or virtually, at CPhI:
9-11 November 2021 – Fiera Milano, Milan, Italy
25 October - 19 November 2021, Online Conference & Networking
The company’s exhibition stand #3F71 is located on the ICSE General Floor. Marinomed will also be glad to receive virtual partnering requests via CPhI-online.
