In our total project portfolio, we currently have six projects: five drug candidates and a product series in cosmetic dermatology. What the projects have in common is that they are based on two unique validated technology platforms that are based on solid research and collaborations with pioneering and internationally recognized researchers and academics.

Our unique, validated technology platforms

The FOL peptide technology

The FOL peptide technology consists of a series of patented tissue-protective peptides ("small proteins") that are based on a modified part of the natural human protein osteopontin. Osteopontin is a glycoprotein expressed in many types of tissues, including the hair follicle and bone, and plays a key role in cell stimulation processes.

The technology comes primarily from Lund University in Sweden.

The natural pigmentation peptide platform

This peptide technology adjusts the amount of melanin in the skin's pigment cells by mimicking a naturally occurring protein affecting melanin transport. The method can potentially be used to both increase and decrease pigmentation in skin and in hair.

The technology comes primarily from the University of Bradford.

The cPLA2α technology

The cPLA2α technology consists of a series of proprietary small molecule inhibitors of the cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2α) enzyme involved in inflammation and uncontrolled cell growth. This provides a range of potentially attractive indications for the patented molecular inhibitors of cPLA2α including skin, cancer, liver and kidney diseases.

The technology comes primarily from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).
