Science and Tech[edit]

NanoSmart Pharmaceuticals (Licensed - LOI)[edit]

The company owns a premium drug delivery system capable of reaching numerous types of cancer cells and disorders. NanoSmart’s platform technology is a patented, human-derived, antinuclear antibody (ANA) that aims for narcosis presence areas in solid tumors. A cancer drug is encapsulated on a lipid nanoparticle and coated with NanoSmart’s antinuclear antibody. The resulting drug formulation is then intravenously administered into a patient’s bloodstream and smoothly travels to the tumor site. The encapsulation protects healthy tissues and organs from side effects, while ANA directly delivers loaded nanoparticles to necrotic tissues within tumor sites. Once embedded, the nanoparticle gradually discharges the cancer drug safely and efficiently.[5]

Licensing Activities[edit]

Oncology Pharma formularized and entered a licensing agreement with NanoSmart for its unique patented drug delivery technology to help discharge its cancer drugs to various cancer tissues and organs, including the breast, bladder, liver, ovaries, etcetera.

The company inked a licensing agreement with Connect2Med for the latter’s smartphone App. Smartphones and their applications play a huge role in consumer healthcare transformation. The company uses the app to enroll, sign up, and support affected persons for clinical trials.

Oncology Pharma has licensed Small molecule modulators of NR2F6 Activity from KCL Therapeutics, Inc. These treat colon cancer in humans. The IP incorporates vital compounds for the alteration of NR2F6 activity.

The company has also licensed Antigen-Specific mRNA Cellular Cancer Vaccine IP from Regen Biopharma, Inc. The IP is used to treat pancreatic cancer in humans. Oncology Pharma aims to transform the oncology treatment sector via these vital agreements.[3]
