On October 7, 2021 AbClon (174900, CEO Jong-seo Lee) a bio venture company and Ebixgen(CEO Yoo Ji-chang) reported a business agreement(MOU) on joint research and development of antibody new drugs with increased tissue permeability (Press release, AbClon, OCT 7, 2021, View Source;wr_id=148&page=2 [SID1234638670]). It was announced on 07 that the agreement was concluded. The two companies signed an MTA (material transfer agreement >, last 8month)With this MOU, we will continue to promote joint research and development of new antibody drugs.

An official of AbClon said, "According to this agreement, Antibodies discovered using AbClone’s antibody and epitope discovery technologyNESTplatform are transferred to Ebixgen’s drug delivery platform. We plan to conduct joint research to develop new antibody drugs that increase the cell delivery ability of drugs by applying them to ACP"< /span>. "by developing innovative new antibody drugs with improved pharmacological efficacy and safety. He emphasized, "We expect to be able to expand to areas that existing antibody treatments cannot solve" said
AbClon is a specific epitope of an antigen(binding site) NEST (Novel Epitope), a technology to discover antibodies that bind to Screening Technology) has a platform. Via the NESTplatform Discovered AC101(stomach cancer, breast cancer antibody treatment< a i=13>) is affiliated with Shanghai Henlius Biotech(Shangahi Henlius Biotech) in China. Technology transfer(L/O)year and clinical trial2ahead. . In addition, its own antibody that binds to a new epitope of the disease protein CD19 Developed, applied it CAR-T cell therapy IND< /span>. month6 It was submitted last Phase1 Domestic clinical trial of AT101
Ebixgen possesses ACP (Advanced Cell Penetrating Peptide technology)technology, which is a new drug development platform technology and next-generation cell and tissue penetration delivery technology. Doing. This is a technology that improves the penetration and delivery ability of drugs that act on cells and tissues. In particular, the blood-brain barrier of drugs(BBB) increasing the permeability of drugs, which is the biggest challenge in the development of existing treatments for brain diseases a>BBB It is characterized by being able to solve the transmission problem. Also, several poorly soluble It can dramatically increase the low solubility, which is a limitation of the drug, thereby increasing the usefulness of poorly soluble drugs with limited application. It is a technology that can expand and improve indications. The company currently treats AIDS, age-related macular degeneration, dry eye disease, < /span>. We have a variety of pipelines, including treatments for atopic dermatitis.
Meanwhile, cell and tissue penetration of drugs, etc. Involved’Drug Delivery System(DDS, Drug Delivery System)’ Is As the final stage of new drug development, controlling the speed of drug application and minimizing side effects are the key to technological prowess . Depending on the size or charge of the new drug candidate, the drug There are many cases where it cannot pass through the inside of the cell, and various DDS Technology is being researched.
