Zerion Pharma specializes in enhancing the solubility and bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs through its innovative Dispersome® platform. This technology utilizes a class of novel excipients, primarily based on whey protein isolate (WPI), which is a natural and biodegradable by-product of cheese production. By formulating drugs into stable amorphous dispersions with high drug loading, the Dispersome® technology addresses one of the significant challenges in drug development, as up to 90% of new drug molecules exhibit poor solubility. The platform not only improves the dissolution rate and bioavailability of these drugs but also allows for reduced dosages, thereby minimizing waste and environmental impact.

The Dispersome® formulations are designed to be compatible with standard solid oral dosage manufacturing processes, making them practical for widespread pharmaceutical applications. The use of beta-lactoglobulin, a key component of the Dispersome® technology, enhances drug solubility compared to traditional polymeric excipients. This approach not only facilitates the development of drugs that might otherwise be abandoned due to solubility issues but also demonstrates superior performance in terms of drug loading and stability. Zerion Pharma's commitment to advancing drug solubility through this innovative technology is underscored by its strong intellectual property portfolio, ensuring a competitive edge in the pharmaceutical landscape.
