We are a preclinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on becoming a global leader in pain management by developing and delivering innovative non-opioid and non-addictive pharmaceutical products using new drug delivery systems and technology. We are developing branded pharmaceutical product candidates with a focus on pain management by using cutting-edge technology to enhance patients’ quality of life.
We have exclusive global rights to develop, sell and export (among other rights) a proprietary patented nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory Topical Spray Film Delivery Technology for acute musculoskeletal pain (“DSF100” or “EpoladermTM”) and for chronic osteoarthritis of the knee (“OSF200”). We also have exclusive global rights to a proprietary patented injectable, long-acting, local anesthetic Liposomal Gel Technology for postoperative pain management (“LBL100” or “ProbudurTM”). Additionally, we have exclusive global rights to a proprietary patented MET that uses an intranasal device to deliver exogenous enkephalin for the management of acute and chronic pain (“NES100”) and for the management of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (“PES200”). Enkephalins are pain-relieving pentapeptides produced in the body, and function to inhibit neurotransmitters in the pathway for pain perception, thereby reducing the physical impact of pain.
We believe the Topical Spray Film Delivery Technology could provide a pathway for additional proprietary spray formulations and could potentially evolve into the preferred therapeutic treatment for topicals and transdermal deliveries due to its adhesion and accessibility properties, especially around joints and curved body surfaces. Pursuant to the MedPharm Research and Option Agreement, MedPharm will conduct certain research and development activities of proprietary formulations incorporating certain MedPharm technologies and certain of our proprietary molecules. These proprietary molecules relate to indications which include, but are not limited to, treatment of estrogen levels, Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, neuropathic issues, and acute and chronic pain. Under the agreement, we were granted an option to obtain an exclusive, world-wide, sub-licensable, royalty bearing, irrevocable license to research, develop, make, market, commercialize, and sell any product utilizing MedPharm’s spray formulation technology. See “Material Agreements” below for more information concerning this research and option agreement.
We believe NES100 and PES200 could support the current effort among prescribers, regulators, and patients to seek non-addictive treatment options. We plan to utilize these delivery technologies to selectively develop a portfolio of patented 505(b)(2) and NCE candidates for commercialization.
