Aché is known for its leadership in prescription medicines, and its commitment to developing innovative solutions for unmet medical needs. Through its Solv4U partnership program, Marinomed offers its proprietary Marinosolv solubilization technology to customers from pharma and biotech to address solubility and bioavailability issues and support the formulation development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). The scope of the collaboration is to assess the Marinosolv technology in selected molecules with the aim of achieving products with improved pharmacological profiles, enhanced solubility, and lower dosages. Aché will have exclusive rights to apply the Marinosolv technology to the targeted compounds, which are intended to be further developed and marketed as pharmaceutical products under Aché's trademarks in the LATAM region. After successful market entry, Marinomed will benefit from royalties on sales of the products in the Latin American growth market. The agreement also includes provisions for both parties to exploit the potential of these products in ex-LATAM territories, based on the successful completion of the R&D feasibility stage. Cornelia Siegl, Head of Solv4U, commented: "We are excited to embark on this journey with Aché and look forward to the collaboration on this Solv4U project with such an innovative partner. The conclusion of a further long-term Solv4U partnership shows that low drug solubility and bioavailability are still one of the biggest hurdles in drug development and that innovative solutions like ours are urgently needed. The Marinosolv technology has proven to be successfully applicable to a wide range of pharmaceutical compounds not only in our own product development but also in various partner projects." Andreas Grassauer, CEO of Marinomed, added: "Following the Solv4U partnership with our Shanghai-based partner SPH Sine Pharmaceuticals last year, the cooperation with Aché Laboratórios is another important milestone in Marinosolv's success story. We look forward to working closely with Aché for the next years in the dynamic growth market of Latin America. Technology partnerships like that accelerate the transition from research to commercial application. We are excited to further expand our Solv4U business in the future and to improve the efficacy of active pharmaceutical compounds with our innovative Marinosolv technology." Hatylas Azevedo, R&D Director of Aché, said: "We're excited to collaborate with Marinomed to investigate the potential of the Marinosolv technology on increasing pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of first-line treatments for prevalent diseases. Aché's experience in the R&D and commercialization of innovative medicines will teamwork with Marinomed’s know-how and cutting-edge technology for developing differentiated products that address important unmet medical needs."
