Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX), a global innovator in drug delivery platforms, has been pushing the envelope and redefining drug delivery technology. Its patented DehydraTECH(TM) technology has proven itself in numerous studies since 2016, highlighting its ability to increase bio-absorption compared to standard industry formulations while also reducing time of onset, as well as delivering drugs more effectively across the blood brain barrier (https://ibn.fm/CjpYF).
The technology’s effectiveness and uniqueness have earned it 39 granted patents, with many patents pending globally. DehydraTECH has a number of potential pharmaceutical applications, a testament to its versatility and overall effectiveness. The key factor that has played a role in its adoption is its unique ability to improve drug bioavailability, a critical marker and determinant in overall drug effectiveness.
Bioavailability can be described as the extent to which a substance or drug becomes entirely available for its intended biological destination ((https://ibn.fm/txE38). It may also be referred to as a measure of the rate and fraction of the initial drug dose that ultimately gets to the targeted part of the body (https://ibn.fm/etuHD). Usually, the higher the bioavailability, the more effective the drug, and since time immemorial, scientists have been exploring various ways to improve it.
Studies have highlighted several factors that have shown to affect drug bioavailability, particularly for orally administered drugs. These include decomposition of the medication in the lumen, hepatic fist-pass impact, surface and time accessible for retention, as well as pH and perfusion of the small digestive system.
Lexaria, through its DehydraTECH technology, enhances the performance of several categories of fat-soluble active molecules and drugs, ultimately improving their bioavailability and efficiency. This is achieved by mixing the active ingredients as a delivery “payload” with specific fatty acids, infusing the mixture into a substrate material, and then using controlled dehydration synthesis processing to associate the payload and fatty acids together at a molecular level. This is followed by integrating the newly combined molecules into end-product production across various dosage form factors (https://ibn.fm/u1eXo).
With this technology, Lexaria looks to tap into various growing markets, among them the cardiovascular drugs market and the diabetes markets, both projected to be valued at $115.8 billion and $134.1 billion by 2028 and 2030, respectively. It also hopes to make drugs more effective, possibly reducing the cost of treatment and the patients’ overall quality of life. The company is also aggressively pushing for its patent applications and approvals globally, a show of commitment to creating shareholder value. In addition to its focus on GLP-1 clinical studies for the 2024 calendar year, Lexaria is confident that it will carve out a decent market share for itself, ultimately making 2024 its biggest year yet.
