SynDermix AG is proud to announce its collaboration with King’s College London for the development of its Nitric Oxide technology.
ZURICH, SWITZERLAND – 27 June, 2019
SynDermix AG is proud to announce the initiation of its collaboration with King’s College London to develop the Company’s proprietary Nitric-Oxide releasing technology. The Company will be working with the research team of Dr. Stuart Jones at the Institute of Pharmaceutical Science at King’s College.
The objective of the collaboration is to develop the formulation of SDX-21, a technology based on a Nitric Oxide donor compound S-Nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), which facilitates the sustained release of Nitric Oxide. In parallel, the team will work on integrating the formulation with a specialised medical device.
Dr. Jones, who will be leading the team at King’s College London, commented: ‘In proof of concept studies, SDX-21 has shown extremely positive results. SDX-21 provides a truly innovative solution to the formulation and delivery of nitrous oxide.’ Mr. Dieter Hemmer, the CEO of SynDermix, stated: ‘SynDermix is thrilled to embark on this project with the Institute of Pharmaceutical Science at King’s. We expect that the formulation development of SDX-21 and its integration with an applicator device will prepare us to initiate studies in animal models by the end of this year.’
