Contributing to Global Healthcare Through Innovative Nanoparticle DDS Pharmaceutical Development

We offer next-generation cancer treatments using immunotherapy technology based on hyaluronic acid.

Hyaluronic Acid Nanogel[Sonanos™] – Paving the Future of Cancer Immunotherapy

By harnessing the full potential of hyaluronic acid nanogel (Sonanos™)—a cutting-edge excipient—we aim to transform the future of cancer treatment.

Hyaluronic acid nanogel encapsulates large amounts of APIs and enhances solubility to maximize therapeutic efficacy. Moreover, efficient drug delivery to lymph nodes and direct uptake by antigen-presenting cells (especially cDC1) dramatically improves cancer immunotherapy outcomes.

We welcome inquiries regarding feasibility study, partnerships and alliances at any time. For those who contact us, we are pleased to provide non-confidential brochure including detailed data.

A Novel Solution in Cancer Immunotherapy

Three Key Features of Hyaluronic Acid Nanogel

Drug Delivery: Hyaluronic acid nanogel self-assembles into nanoparticles that efficiently deliver therapeutic agents to immune cells.
Immune Activation: By activating T cells and other immune cells, hyaluronic acid nanogel strengthens the body’s ability to attack cancer cells.
Safety: Because it is based on hyaluronic acid, it offers excellent biocompatibility and is expected to have fewer side effects.
