Raanana, Israel, Dec. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Polyrizon Ltd. (Nasdaq: PLRZ) (the “Company” or “Polyrizon”), a development-stage biotech company specializing in the development of innovative intranasal hydrogels, today announced the publication of a national phase patent application by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”). The patent application encompasses key aspects of Polyrizon’s two core platform technologies: Capture and Contain (C&C™), a nasal blocker technology, and Trap and Target (T&T™), designed for advanced nasal drug delivery. Both technologies represent Polyrizon’s commitment to creating innovative solutions for protecting and treating via the nasal cavity.
Polyrizon Technologies: Advanced Drug Delivery and Protection Platforms
Polyrizon’s innovative Capture and Contain (C&C™) platform utilizes a natural 3D polymeric network engineered to adhere optimally to the nasal mucosa. This advanced network forms a physical barrier that captures and contains airborne biological threats, such as allergens, viruses, and molds, preventing their penetration and protecting the body.
In addition, Polyrizon’s T&T platform is a novel drug delivery system designed for prolonged residence time and close contact with mucosal tissues, ensuring highly effective and targeted delivery of medications. Developed by drug delivery experts, the T&T platform can be customized to meet the unique requirements of different molecules, enhancing therapeutic efficacy and enabling a wide range of medical applications.
About Polyrizon
Polyrizon is a development stage biotech company specializing in the development of innovative medical device hydrogels delivered in the form of nasal sprays, which form a thin hydrogel-based shield containment barrier in the nasal cavity that can provide a barrier against viruses and allergens from contacting the nasal epithelial tissue. Polyrizon’s proprietary Capture and Contain TM, or C&C, hydrogel technology, comprised of a mixture of naturally occurring building blocks, is delivered in the form of nasal sprays, and potentially functions as a “biological mask” with a thin shield containment barrier in the nasal cavity. Polyrizon are further developing certain aspects of our C&C hydrogel technology such as the bioadhesion and prolonged retention at the nasal deposition site for intranasal delivery of drugs. Polyrizon refers to its additional technology, which is in an earlier stage of pre-clinical development, that is focused on nasal delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients, or APIs, as Trap and Target ™, or T&T.
