About Biodexa Pharmaceuticals PLC
Biodexa Pharmaceuticals PLC (dual listed on AIM: BDRX; and NASDAQ: BDRX) is a drug delivery technology company focused on improving the bio-delivery and bio-distribution of medicines. The Company combines approved and development medications with its proprietary and innovative drug delivery technologies to provide compelling products that have the potential to powerfully impact the lives of patients.
The Company has developed three in-house technology platforms, each with its own unique mechanism to improve delivery of medications to sites of disease. All of the Company’s technologies have successfully entered human use in the clinic, providing important validation of the potential for each platform:
| · | Q-Sphera™ platform: a disruptive micro-technology used for sustained release to prolong and control the release of therapeutics over an extended period of time (from weeks to months). |
| · | MidaSolve™ platform: an innovative nanotechnology used to dissolve insoluble drugs so that they can be administered in liquid form directly and locally into tumours. |
| · | MidaCore™ platform: a leading-edge nanotechnology used for targeting medications to sites of disease. |
The platform nature of the technologies offers the potential to develop multiple drug assets rather than being reliant on a limited number of programmes. Biodexa’s technologies are supported by 36 patent families including 120 granted patents and an additional 70 patent applications. Biodexa’s headquarters and R&D facility is in Cardiff, UK.
