Unlocking the Full Potential of Antisense Oligonucleotides with the Feldan Shuttle

Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) are a class of RNA therapeutics that selectively silence disease-driving genes.​ Despite their precision and therapeutic potential, ASOs face a major challenge: they cannot cross cell membranes on their own, limiting their effectiveness. The Feldan Shuttle addresses this barrier by efficiently delivering ASOs into cells, enabling them to reach their intracellular targets and achieve their intended therapeutic effect.​
The Feldan Shuttle unlocks the therapeutic promise of ASOs and expands their application in novel therapies.

The Power of Local Administration

Our pipeline focuses on therapies administered directly at the disease site which offer key advantages to improve therapeutic outcomes:
