Upperton’s world leading expertise in biomolecule conjugation chemistry and especially albumin chemistry offers three drug delivery technologies with unique advantages:

Click to find out more about rP-nano(TM)

  • Production of nano-sized particles from peptides, proteins and other biomolecules
  • Unique advantages include size-control, preservation of molecule’s structural and functional integrity, simplicity and scalability of production process.
  • Nanoparticles can be made from active molecules or from carrier proteins to be loaded with drugs.
  • Technology has been demonstrated with recombinant albumin*, transferrin, Apolipoprotein A-1, and monoclonal antibodies

rP-conjugate (TM)

  • Drugs, peptides or other molecules can bind naturally or be attached covalently to carrier proteins like albumin or transferrin.
  • Upperton uses the unique properties of albumin or transferrin to design the most efficient and suitable linking chemistry for a given purpose/drug.
  • Drugs linked to e.g. albumin or albumin nanoparticles can dramatically improve pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties.
  • Linking technology has been demonstrated with 99mTc, Gadolinium, Methotrexate, and Doxorubicin.

rP-target (TM)

  • Upperton’s patented rP-targetTM technology chemically links monoclonal antibodies to drug loaded albumin or albumin nanoparticles.
  • Drug loaded albumin molecules or nanoparticles can thus be targeted to specific sites.
  • Several drug loaded albumin molecules can be linked to a single monoclonal antibody, increasing delivery efficiency.
