TARGOSPHERE®
TargoSphere® nanocarriers offer all the benefits of standard liposomal technologies, plus the added benefit of specific delivery to various cell populations, including immunocompetent cells. Due to their receptor-targeting functionality, the proprietary nanocarriers can reach intracellular compartments not accessible to other nanocarriers. TargoSphere® can be a solution to enhance efficacy of therapeutic approaches.
TARGOSPHERE -
NANOCARRIER
TargoSphere nanocarriers offer all the benefits of standard liposomal technologies, plus the added benefit of specific delivery to various cell populations, including immuno-competent cells. Due to their receptor-targeting functionality, the proprietary nanocarriers can reach intracellular compartments not accessible to other nanocarriers. Therefore, the TargoSphere technology can be a solution to reduce adverse effects and potentially enhance the therapeutic effect in number of diseases.

Rodos Biotarget GmbH is pioneering a range of TargoSphere variants that bind to specific receptors present on different cell types and deliver the intended therapeutic active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) such as small molecules, proteins, and nucleic acids inside the cells. For example, some TargoSphere variants bind to C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) that are expressed on professional antigen presenting cells (APCs) that play a role in immune response, hepatocytes, myofibroblasts and other cells. The TargoSphere technology can be aligned to customers’ needs regarding targeting selectivity, payload, delivery route, and release characteristics. This toolbox approach offers a customizable technology to target disease-relevant cells and tissues allowing to conceptualize a wide range of nanomedicines.
Example of use: CLR-TargoSphere nanocarrier

By applying CLR-TargoSphere to anti-infective proteins and small molecules, Rodos Biotarget has so far, developed antiviral and antibacterial nanomedicines proved to have a broad spectrum of potential applications against viruses (e.g., the Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 and the Influenza A Virus H1N1 subtype, the Hepatitis C Virus) and bacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) in our studies.
The emerging TargoSphere nanomedicine with small molecules, proteins and nucleic acids from Rodos Biotarget will address a broader spectrum of immunological and non-immunological diseases.
