Polysaccharide-based carriers can not only enhance the solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs but can also generate new types of first in class of new drugs and controlled-release formulations, long-acting formulations, or extended-releasing formulations for poorly water-soluble drugs. In addition, our technology platform GlycoTDSTM has "high tunability" to a variety of drug payloads and the capability to combine active tumor targeting using tumor receptor targeting ligands or macropinocytosis pathway with passive tumor targeting using supra-molecular polymers EPR effects. This endows polysaccharide-based drug conjugates with dual targeting effects that can effectively attack a wide range of tumor targets. The GlycoTDSTM platform may address currently challenges and bottlenecks using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and small molecules.
