  11. Cobalamin– oral drug delivery platform to enhance absorption of large molecules

  12. 1 2 3 4 CobOral / CobaCyte Drug Delivery Platforms Using The Body’s Own Vitamin B-12 Absorption System To Enable and Enhance Delivery of Drugs The “Trojan Horse” Delivery Vehicle The nanoparticle coated with Cobalamin (red) binds to intrinsic factor (1), which in turn binds to its cell surface receptor (2). The nanoparticle is transported across the cell (3), crosses the gut wall and enters the bloodstream (4). Nanopolymer “payload” can be Insulin, growth hormone, EPO, etc.

  13. CobOral Oral Insulin Program Cobalamin Enhanced Nanopolymers – Enabling Oral Insulin Multiple CobOral Formulation Agreements In Place Clinically Relevant Glucose Lowering Effect in Diabetic Rat Model 13 • CobOral technology makes “active drug” look like Vitamin B-12; achieved significant levels of oral bioavailability with insulin and HGH • Studies conducted on numerous products including Insulin, LHRH, EPO, Interferon, G-CSF • Seeking co-development partner in diabetes field • Potential for use in wide variety of disease states where vitamin intake is up regulated, including cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s, autoimmune disorders
