NanoPharm AG
has developed nanoparticles as a drug delivery
formulation using NANODEL technology. Drugs are
bound to nanoparticles and then transported to their
specific target. It is even possible to transport drugs
across the blood-brain barrier.

Novosom AG
specialises in the development and production of
liposomes, liposomal nanocapsules and liposomal
vectors.

Pharmasol GmbH
has developed lipid nanoparticles as an alternative
delivery system to polymeric nanoparticles.

Psividia Ltd
is a biomedical technology company which has produced
a material designed to enable drug molecules to be held
in nanoscale pockets which release tiny pulses of a drug
as the material dissolves. The rate of dissolution can be
controlled so that delivery can be achieved over days or
months.

SkyePharma
is a leading developer, manufacturer and provider of drug
delivery technologies. One of its technologies uses
nanoparticles which allow targeted drug delivery in the
lung.
