The platform material Mirexus’ phytoglycogen is a natural biopolymer that can be extracted in the form of completely uniform-sized nanoparticles. Those particles have many unique & desirable properties that form the basis of the Mirexus business plan.
Phytoglycogen Nano-Particle
• Isolated from non-GMO corn
• Highly purified carbohydrate
• Non-toxic, non-allergenic
• Biodegradable / Biocompatible
• Monodisperse and uniformly spherical
• Highly water soluble/dispersable
• Chemically modifiable
– Hydrophilic, but can be made hydrophobic
– Non-ionic, but anionic or cationic groups easily introduced on surface
– Easy to attach molecules to the surface
Applications
• Ingredient stabilizer
• Formulation stabilizer
• Solubility/Bioavailability enhancer
• Drug delivery vehicle
• lmmunomodulator
