RNAi Delivery Technology

Triphos's siRNA delivery technology is specifically designed to avoid the physical size and bioavailability problems inherent in the Liposome/cationic-lipid approach. The technology is non-cytotoxic, delivers to the entire cell population and all cell-types tested, and is dramatically smaller than a liposomal based delivery system.


The TriPhos Therapeutics biocompatible phosphate modifications are reversed by intracellular mechanisms to return functional phosphodiesters. The cross-functional technology is independent of sequence and integrates into RNAi, miRNA, LNA and antisense designs. The constructs have demonstrated activity in RNAi model systems and can reduce phosphate charge by >50% without effecting solubility or duplexation profiles.  These small inhibitory ribonucleic neutral molecules siRNN are based off of the ground breaking research developed at Traversa Therapeutics. 


The company has proven the technology to provide improved pharmacokinetics, distribution and bioavailability over other methods. The technology supports delivery to primary and tumor cells, T cells, B cells, Macrophage, neuronal cells and human stem cells, where other approaches have failed.
