Discover Our Approach

We are pioneering the next generation of cancer treatment in chemotherapy

Welcome to the future of cancer treatment. Welcome to NUP-CTx. We are operating at the forefrontof revolutionary chemotherapy solutions. Our innovative technique merges advancednanotechnology with biochemistry, transforming potent platinum-based chemotherapy drugs intosafe and stable prodrugs, which are encapsulated within our specially designed nanospheres,equipped with molecular antennas.

Our innovative approach combines cutting-edge nanotechnology and biochemistry.

  1. Transform an aggressive platinum-based chemotherapy drug into a safe and stable prodrug and encapsulate the prodrug within specially designed nanospheres containing molecular antennas.

  2. Deliver the nanospheres directly to the tumor via a simple infusion.

  3. Ignite the nanospheres with a simple ultrasound-activation. This transforms the prodrug into an active platinum-based chemotherapy agent, releasing it directly into the tumor.

Why NUP-CTx?

  • Reduced Side Effects Our ultrasound-activated approach spares healthy tissues, significantly minimizing the harsh side effects commonly associated with traditional chemotherapy.
  • Precision Targeting Our nanoparticles ensure that the chemotherapy drug reaches the tumor site with precise accuracy. The nanoparticles do not affect other parts of the body.
  • Proven Effectiveness Our groundbreaking method - chemotherapy without the debilitating side effects - has shown promising results in preclinical studies, effectively shrinking and even eradicating tumors.
  • Future-Ready Potential Our flexible platform is designed to evolve and be expanded, allowing us to adapt it to treat various types of cancer as research progresses.
