  • Oral medicines market remains the largest proportion of the global pharmaceutical market but does not address the dysphagic market – the ability to swallow medicines:�

  • 35% of the general population have difficulty in swallowing medicines[1�]

  • 30-40% of elderly institutionalised patients have difficulty in swallowing as well as 18-22% of patients in long-term care[1�]

  • Up to 50% of the population suffer from difficulty in the of swallowing tablets[2�]

• Ageing populations with increased reliance on “Care in the Community” provisions continues to drive the need for low-cost solutions to enhance patient compliance within the home setting�

Linguet™: a platform technology with clear commercial opportunities �

  • Linguet is targeted at those drugs that:�

  • Show poor oral bioavailability (e.g. progesterone, testosterone);�

  • Require rapid onset of action (e.g. analgesics, erectile dysfunction products);�

  • Cause gastro-intestinal irritation (e.g. NSAIDs, bisphosphonates & statins);�

  • Are degraded in the gastro-intestinal tract (GIT) and require dose compensation (e.g. hormone replacement formulations); and�

==> picture [206 x 128] intentionally omitted <==

  • Are adversely affected by high first-pass metabolism in the liver and thus rely on massive over dosing in order to deliver the correct therapeutic outcome (e.g. pain relief).�

==> picture [99 x 21] intentionally omitted <==

Linguet™: a technology that is ready to be exploited in a growing market�

  • Linguet is the basis for a family of Intellectual Property patents and patent applications around the ability to:�

  • formulate; �

  • develop; and �

  • obtain regulatory approval for alternative drug delivery systems.

• The system has wide applicability:�

  • buccal;�

  • sub-lingual and vaginal delivery of drugs; and �

  • anywhere where there is a mucosal surface.

  • Linguet can be altered to meet targeted therapeutic requirements:�

  • fast release;�

  • sustained release;�

  • taste masking; and�

  • muco-adhesive.

  • Linguet uses standard pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment delivering low COGS.�

Linguet™: a targeted technology with wide applications�

Linguet™ is able to be used in a wide range of therapeutic applications enabling a rich hunting ground to create world-class products that meet the commercial need. � Such breadth of choice allows for a de-risked business model.

How will development occur?�

  • The development program will use outsource partners to minimise internal overheads enabling maximum effort in generating products and revenues:�

  • Use of known development and manufacturing sites;�

  • Links with academic institutions to help advise on technology pathways;�

  • Use of established and proven medical and regulatory pathways with partners who have done it before; and�

  • Targeting simple and known molecules where the market is fully known.�

  • Use of proven rapid screening of formulations to reduce timescales and potential failure rates:�

  • Microcalorimetry stability screening for formulations, drug/excipient and drug/packaging interactions; and�

  • In-vitro porcine trans mucosal studies allowing for greater predictability for in-vitro pharmacokinetic and bioequivalence studies.�

  • Use of proven manufacturing techniques:�

  • No requirement for investment in specialised equipment for manufacturing; and�

  • Use of Generally Regarded As Safe (GRAS) excipients.�

  • Low cost development:�

  • Established molecules with lower requirements for toxicology and preclinical studies; and�

  • Relatively short time from lab to patient giving significant commercial advantage.�
