What pharmacological payloads are compatible with your pulmonary-targeting platforms?

Our adaptable architecture accommodates diverse therapeutic cargos—low-MW compounds, protein therapeutics/immunoglobulins, RNA interference agents/messenger RNA constructs, and viral/non-viral gene vectors. We collaborate to engineer vectorization frameworks and nanocarrier architectures optimized for your payload’s biophysical characteristics and therapeutic objectives.

How do you ensure the targeting module reaches the deep lung?

We employ advanced formulation strategies to optimize particle size and aerodynamic properties of the drug delivery system. This ensures efficient aerosolization and deep lung penetration, allowing the targeted modules to bypass upper airway clearance mechanisms and reach the desired therapeutic site within the alveolar region.

Can your service help with drug resistance in lung cancer?

Yes, by enabling higher local drug concentrations and potentially bypassing efflux pumps or other resistance mechanisms through direct cellular uptake, targeted delivery can be a powerful strategy to overcome or mitigate drug resistance in lung cancer. Our modules can be designed to specifically target cells that exhibit resistance, enhancing therapeutic impact.

Overview

Respiratory tract infections remain critical threats to global health, particularly impacting vulnerable populations. WHO data identifies pneumonia as the predominant pediatric mortality driver, with 808,694 under-five fatalities in 2017 (15% of pediatric deaths). Concurrently, tuberculosis persists among the top ten global mortality factors, claiming 1.6 million lives annually alongside 10 million active cases. These infections impose profound clinical and socioeconomic burdens worldwide, yet therapeutic innovation lags behind pathogen evolution.

The lung's structural complexity governs its respiratory function. Anatomically divided into proximal conduction pathways (nasopharynx to terminal bronchioles) and distal gas-exchange zones (respiratory bronchioles/alveoli), this organ's architecture facilitates ventilation. The interstitial stroma—a connective matrix housing vascular/lymphatic networks, neural elements, and immunocompetent cells (macrophages, fibroblasts)—bridges conductive and respiratory compartments.

Delivery System Targeting Lung

Inhaled therapeutic delivery has emerged as a pivotal strategy for both localized and systemic pharmacological interventions. This non-invasive approach enhances patient compliance through improved tolerability. For respiratory pathologies—asthma, COPD, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis—direct alveolar deposition achieves elevated target-site bioavailability while minimizing off-target toxicity versus enteral or parenteral routes. Recent advances extend its utility to pulmonary infections and oncological applications. Concurrently, systemic efficacy is enabled by the lung’s expansive alveolar-capillary interface (≈140 m2) and rich vascular perfusion, facilitating rapid circulatory entry and prompt therapeutic onset. Unlike oral delivery, inhaled administration circumvents hepatic first-pass metabolism, preserving bioactive payload integrity.

Cell-selective pulmonary delivery demonstrates significant utility across therapeutic, prophylactic, and diagnostic applications. Focused on pulmonary biology, alveolar macrophage (AM) and neoplastic cell targeting represent key strategies. Particulate nanocarriers (e.g., liposomes, microspheres) undergo AM phagocytosis due to their physicochemical properties—opsonization via γ-globulin/fibronectin coatings or sub-5µm hydrodynamic diameters enhances uptake. Liposomal payloads exhibit accelerated release post-internalization due to lysosomal instability. AM transmembrane receptors (e.g., transferrin R, Fcγ receptors, cytokine/growth factor receptors) enable ligand-directed delivery of peptide conjugates or engineered protein scaffolds. Similarly, pulmonary neoplasms overexpress folate/EGF receptors, enabling molecularly targeted therapies through receptor-mediated endocytosis pathways.
