The clinical translation of nucleic acid therapeutics , including mRNA, siRNA, and ASO, requires functional delivery vehicles and immunological adjuvants. Throughout the translational process, endosomal escape efficiency, material purity, batch-to-batch consistency, and scale-up feasibility represent the critical bottlenecks in advancing formulations from initial prescription screening to clinical development and commercial manufacturing.
Leveraging our proprietary technology platforms — Phytopower® Development Platform of Bioactive Molecules & Ingredients from Global Medicinal Plants, Aktinsyn® Technology Platform of Synthetic Chemistry, and Aktinbio® Development Platform of Biotechnology, AKTINPHARM® provides professional products and CRDMO services for nucleic acid delivery systems and saponin vaccine adjuvants to global pharmaceutical enterprises, biotech companies, and Marketing Authorization Holders (MAHs).
We integrate natural extraction, chemical synthesis, and biotechnology across the entire continuum from process development to large-scale manufacturing. This covers critical phases such as raw material source oversight, isolation and purification, structural characterization, impurity profiling, process scale-up, and parameter optimization. Focusing on the R&D and production of LNP functional materials, key excipients for nucleic acid delivery systems, and saponin vaccine adjuvants, our services encompass early-stage R&D material preparation, GMP-compliant process development, and commercial-scale supply. We flexibly accommodate diverse phase-specific requirements to accelerate next-generation nucleic acid delivery and vaccine adjuvant projects.
