programmable nanogel platform for multi-dimensional control over anticancer drug delivery

Set the payload

Stable drug conjugation with high payload capacity - up to ~30,000 drug molecules per nanogel.

Target the tumor

Active targeting through tumor-relevant receptors, with a wide, target-agnostic range of ligands.

Trigger the release

Stable in circulation, activated inside tumor cells by dual pH and redox triggers.

The problem

Chemotherapy works. But it needs to know where to go.

Chemotherapy remains effective, but its lack of selectivity causes systemic toxicity and dose-limiting side effects. Targeted systems such as antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and nanocarriers were developed to address this - yet each carries trade-offs.

ADCs can suffer from limited tumor penetration, heterogeneous receptor expression, and high manufacturing complexity. Many nanocarriers still rely on passive targeting and offer limited control over drug release.

Redoxa layers three programmable control mechanisms - stable drug conjugation, receptor-mediated active targeting, and pH/redox-triggered intracellular release - into a single, fully synthetic nanogel platform.

How Redoxa compares

Overcoming key trade-offs of ADCs and nanocarriers

Set the payload

ADCs
Low payload, 2-8 drugs per antibody
Nanocarriers
Mostly physical / electrostatic loading
Redoxa
Covalent + high-capacity loading

Target the tumor

ADCs
Active, selective
Nanocarriers
Often passive accumulation (EPR)
Redoxa
Active, selective, wider range of targets

Trigger the release

ADCs
Cleavable linker
Nanocarriers
Often passive / gradual release
Redoxa
Tumor-responsive pH + redox release

Development & IP

Validated science, protected platform

TRL 4TRL 5
  • Multiple nanogel chemistries synthesized and characterized
  • Validated trigger-sensitive release and cancer cell selectivity
