BeloGal® platform is applicable for lung-targeted delivery of Meropenem
The first step of the biodistribution study of Belopenem in rats has been successfully completed.
Double Bond Pharmaceutical combined the BeloGal®platform with the well-known antibiotic Meropenem, giving rise to two working Belopenem formulations. The recent study showed a superior lung-targeted delivery of Meropenem through the formulations, when compared to the standard intravenous Meropenem solution. The study is expected to be completed in December 2019 – January 2020.
“I am very glad that we are able to validate the BeloGal®platform for lung-targeting of an additional API – Meropenem. We believe that it will result in the development of novel treatments of different lung diseases and with that, provide a bright hope for patients”, says Igor Lokot, the CEO of Double Bond Pharmaceutical.
The study is being conducted in a frame of EuroStar project (https://news.cision.com/se/dbp/r/dbp-har-beviljats-eurostars-finansiering-for-utveckling-av-en-ny-produkt-for-behandling-av-lunginfla,c2576018 )
