About Exopharm
Exopharm (ASX:EX1) is a leader in advancing Genetic Medicines and other exosome-based medicines using exosomes or extracellular vesicles (EVs) as a chassis for improved and nonviral drug-delivery.
Exosomes can be loaded with a variety of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and can be targeted to selected cell-types and tissue types, improving the safety-profile of the APIs and providing better treatments. Exosomes can be used to deliver small molecule drugs, mRNA, DNA and other types of APIs.
Exosomes are an alternative means of drug-delivery inside the body, alongside technologies such as lipid nanoparticles (LNP), cell-penetrating peptides, viral vectors and liposomes.
Exopharm’s exosome technologies solve important needs for the success of exosome medicines – LEAP manufacturing technology, LOAD API loading technologies and EVPS tropism technologies.
Exosome-based medicines could improve the treatment of many chronic or inherited medical conditions.
Exopharm is making its proprietary technologies available to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that want to harness exosome-delivery for their own products. Exopharm is also seeking to develop important exosome medicines itself.
