Swiss/Brazilian collaboration for improving bioavailability via nanotechnology
Privately-held Switzerland-headquartered Ferring Pharmaceuticals has entered into a long-term collaboration aimed at improving the bioavailability, efficacy and safety profile of oral therapeutic medicines through nanotechnology, with one of Brazil’s largest drugmakers, Aché Laboratórios Farmacêuticos
Potential benefits of research in this area include a reduction of adverse effects, increased patient adherence to treatment and more convenient dosing.
From 2017, a joint R&D center and program, named Nanotechnology Innovation Laboratory Enterprise (NILE), will be housed at Aché’s R&D center in São Paulo, Brazil, funded by Ferring and Aché and governed by a joint steering committee.
