Advanced delivery systems to maximize active agents effectiveness

TOC.png

We are developing self-assembled nanocarriers based on rationally modified polysaccharides. These carriers possess structural plasticity allowing them to adjust to different environments, encapsulate various hydrophilic and hydrophobic active agents, bring them into either aqueous or lipid environments, and even through cross-phase barriers. These nanocarriers are employed as biocompatible systems for the delivery of active agents in medicine, food, agriculture, and cosmetics.

 

(b) Host-guest delivery systems combined with a biopolymer matrix

We have discovered a previously unknown non-classic encapsulation mode of cyclodextrin. We are utilizing this discovery to develop host-guest delivery systems combined with a biopolymer matrix.

 

(c) Controlled release delivery based on dynamic covalent linkage 

We are developing  delivery systems capable of total avoiding  undesired escape of active agents, until activation. Our systems are based on dynamic covalent linkage to the biopolymers platform and have  been successfully applied for precise release of volatile antimicrobials to protect perishable and dry agriproducts.

We are developing biopolymers-based delivery systems with advanced features: stimuli-responsive activity, auto-adjustment, site-specific directing, and more. Our nanosystems increase the effectiveness of the active agents and reduce their required amount. The consequence is greener protocols and lower costs of final product.  We prepared biocompatible systems for foliage delivery of plant nutrients, biostimulants and protectants and (b) controlled release systems for delivery of anti-mold and anti-insect agents for postharvest storage.
