- NTCAN Technology can produce natural (organic/green), stable, chelated copper-containing amino acid complexes for pharmacological use as anti-inflammatory and antitumor agents. The proposed copper-amino acid complexes, being natural products with high (pharmacological level) purity of copper and low cost, can replace not only almost the entire range of copper-containing amino acid and collagen peptide complexes in pharmacology but also provide higher medicinal properties due to the synergistic effect of the components, high stability over a wide range of pH and temperatures, purity, bioavailability, and low toxicity.
- NTCAN™ Med-Cu-NAC has a chelate formula in which copper is chelated with N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), which is widely used as medicine with a variety of therapeutic effects. Produced using Novotech technology, NAC in a copper-bound form can cross cell membranes and release copper in the body, which will lead to an increase in intracellular concentrations of copper ions and, accordingly, the death of cancer cells. This material may be used:
– in treatments against tumors. It should be noted that anticancer drugs based on copper are as effective but less toxic compared to analogues made from platinum, gold, etc. Also, Copper-based NPs serve as a versatile vehicle for drug delivery and image-guided therapy.
– to treat hypertension, prevent blood clots, and improve immunity.
– as a natural preparation for the treatment of mucous membranes (including vaginitis, hemorrhoids, bacterial infections, sinusitis, nasal congestion, runny nose, etc.).
- NTCAN™ Cu(I)NPs is a stable colloidal dispersion containing high-concentration Copper(I) oxide with modified surfaces which ensures solubility in solutions containing protein, blood, and plasma. Copper nanoparticles also serve as versatile vehicles for drug delivery and image-guided therapy. Potential applications include tumor treatment, photothermal therapy, and photoimaging. Copper-based anticancer drugs are as effective but less toxic compared to those made from platinum, gold, etc.
- Proposed by Novotech stable colloidal dispersion containing high-concentration Copper(I) oxide (“NTCAN™ Cu(I)NPs”) has modified surfaces. Surface modification of copper nanoparticles ensures the solubility of NTCANTM Cu(I)NPs in solutions containing protein, as well as other physiological solutions, such as blood and plasma. Overall, NTCAN™ Cu(I)NPs may be a potential therapeutic agent for tumor treatment, including photothermal therapy and photoimaging.
