NATx

Nucleic-Acid Therapeutics

Expanding the therapeutic potential of nucleic acids through chemistry, delivery and conjugation.

The opportunity

Delivery determines therapeutic potential

Oligonucleotides can address biological targets that are difficult to reach with conventional small molecules.

Their therapeutic application depends on protecting the payload, delivering it to the relevant cells and enabling the intended intracellular activity.

The platform

Complementary approaches to nucleic-acid delivery

NATx brings together 4Ammonium’s capabilities in cationic lipid chemistry, oligonucleotide chemistry and covalent drug conjugation.

LysoCAT

Cationic lysolipids

A proprietary family of cationic lysolipids designed to form LNPs/lipoplexes with oligonucleotide cargo and support cellular uptake and transfection.

PON

Proprietary Oligonucleotide Chemistry

A chemistry platform for preparing and functionalising oligonucleotide-based compounds, including new molecular architectures and prodrug strategies.

Collaboration model

Designed for proprietary and partner programmes

NATx technologies can be developed as proprietary opportunities or explored in combination with an external oligonucleotide programme.

Build

Select the chemistry, carrier or conjugation strategy that fits the payload.

Evaluate

Investigate assembly, delivery and cellular performance in an appropriate experimental model.

Develop

Define a validation or co-development route around the resulting opportunity.
