Prodrug and Formulation Technologies

Unmet Need

Many current and emerging drug therapies suffer from poor PK/PD profiles and poor bioavailability. This can result in a less desirable route of administration, a complicated oral dosing regimen, unwanted side effects, or the complete discontinuation of product development. 

Solution

TSRL, Inc. has developed drug delivery technologies to improve dose response, increase solubility, and reduce toxicity associated with extended release drugs. Our extended release formulation provides a PK/PD rational to reduce dose and toxicity of common disease states, including:

  • Cholesterol Synthesis
  • Cardiovascular Disease
  • Asthma Bronchial
  • Peptic Ulcer Disease
  • Gastric Secretion

Rational for improvement in PK/PD:

  • Circadian Rhythm: Night time maximum
  • Reduction of Metabolism: Positional expression of P450 within intestine
  • Formulation: Match maximum activity, delayed release to reduce metabolism, reduce dose and toxicity
