Metal Drug Complex (MDC) Pipeline

Compound Indication Mechanism Phase
Zn²⁺-Ivermectin Antiviral Viral protein affinity logic Preclinical
Cu²⁺-Histidine Neuroinflammation ROS-gated metal delivery Concept Validated
Ru⁴⁺-Doxorubicin Oncology TME-specific activation Preclinical
Featured MDC Compound

Ru⁴⁺-Doxorubicin Complex

Our Ru⁴⁺-Doxorubicin complex represents a new approach to targeted oncology. The ruthenium complex shields doxorubicin until it reaches the tumor microenvironment, where pH and redox changes trigger drug release.

Functional Drug Complex (FDC) Pipeline

Complex Name Indication Mechanism Phase
Peptide-RNA ImmunoMod Autoimmune RNA-guided peptide activation Concept Validated
OncoLogic-FDC Oncology Glyco-tagged nanoshell delivery Preclinical
Featured FDC Compound

Peptide-RNA ImmunoMod

Our Peptide-RNA ImmunoMod presents a novel approach to autoimmune disease treatment. The complex uses RNA recognition motifs to guide peptide activity to specific immune cell types, allowing for precise immunomodulation without broad immune suppression.
