Chikujee develops a full
spectrum of products used primarily in oncology,
cardiovascular diseases and critical care.
Chikujee has created and developed its first
oncology product for the treatment of metastatic
breast cancer, using its’ proprietary
nanobindi technology that will go in clinical
trials by the end of 2008. This innovative
approach may revolutionize the detection and
treatment of cancer.
There are two major initiatives for its product
development, of which one is based on its SENDTM
imaging probe platform for targeted diagnostics
and TSDVTM platform for cell
specific targeting of therapeutic drugs.
1.1
NIDĂN- Product line
Chikujee is developing an extensive pipeline of
disease specific-contrasting agents for MRI
imaging which includes further investigation
with paramagnetic particles as well as several
other promising iron oxide candidates. Key focus
areas include an extensive array of MRI
contrasting agent candidates for ultrasensitive
detection of cancer and a developing
cardiovascular portfolio.
1.2
CHÃŽKÃŽTÅ A- Product line
Chikujee Research has
developed an extensive pipeline which includes
further investigation with Paclitaxel and
Docetaxel as well as several other
promising drug candidates. Key focus areas
include an extensive array of oncology drug
candidates and a developing cardiovascular
portfolio. The following candidates are part of
Chikujee’ accelerating pipeline.
Chikujee Therapeutics has chosen to work
initially on building its pipeline with generic
compounds that have been poorly adopted due to
delivery issues. The Company has four internal
drug delivery projects funded through internal
and grant support:
-
BindiPRâ„¢,
a controlled release delivery vehicle for target
specific delivery of protein based therapeutics to
produce a more effective drug for treatment with minimal
side effects.
-
BindiNAâ„¢, a
controlled release delivery vehicle for target specific
delivery of nucleic acid based therapeutics, RNAi,
Oligos, gene therapy vectors etc., to provide effective
disease specific treatment with minimal side effects.
-
BindiSMâ„¢ for
the cell specific delivery of small molecules like
chemotherapy agents to the target site
-
BindiGPâ„¢ a
cell specific delivery of general purpose therapeutic
agents to target tissues.
