| US Patent on NOD Tech Granted |
SHANGHAI, Nov. 24 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- NOD Pharmaceuticals Inc. announced that US Patent &
Trademark Office (PTO) has allowed its patent application for nano-particle oral delivery or NOD
technology.
NOD technology is a highly efficient approach to incorporate peptides or proteins into bio-adhesive nano-
particles to enable oral delivery of drugs otherwise administered as injections. NOD technology is a platform
technology that can be applied to many macromolecular drugs such as insulin, interferon, growth hormone,
exenatide, heparin and more.
Currently, an oral insulin formulation, the first candidate developed with NOD technology, is entering phase I
clinical studies in China.
"This patent allowance for NOD tech is a key milestone for NOD", quoted from William Lee, CEO.
"Considering that our first product candidate is in clinical trial in China. This patent with other applications
form the core competence for NOD and demonstrates the innovative capability at NOD.”
