    • Absorption
      Reduced rate of absorption linked to locally reduced blood flow (8) is reported for the subcutaneous
      and transdermal routes in obese subjects.
    • Distribution
      The distribution of medicinal products is driven by body composition, regional blood flow and binding to
      tissue and plasma proteins.
    • Obese subjects have a larger absolute lean body weight (LBW) as well as fat mass.
    • The physicochemical properties of a medicinal product (lipophilicity, polarity, molecular size, and
      degree of ionization) influence its distribution in the body.
    • In BMI class III obese
      subjects, the blood flow per gram of fat is significantly lower than that observed in class I obese or
      lean subjects (4).

    • Fatty infiltrations are present in the liver for 90% of obese subjects, with the extent of the infiltrations
      being proportional to the degree of obesity.
    • In some cases, in particular for CYP3A4 metabolized medicinal products,
      bodyweight normalized clearance can be lower in obese patients (23).
    • Based on presently available data, it has been suggested that uptake transporters

      are downregulated while efflux transporters may be upregulated (31).

    • Platelet hyper-reactivity is also observed,
      which can impair the response to anti-platelet medicinal products in obese patients (42, 43).

Altamira Therapeutics’ Peptide-Based Delivery Platform Shown to Enhance Potency of Commonly Used Gene Delivery Method as Published in Peer-Reviewed Journal

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, February 7, 2024

HAMILTON, BERMUDA, Feb. 7, 2024 -- Altamira Therapeutics Ltd. (Nasdaq: CYTO) ("Altamira" or the "Company"), a company providing nanoparticle-based technology for efficient RNA delivery to extrahepatic targets, announced today the publication of a peer-reviewed article in the Journal of Integrative Medicine titled, "Melittin analog p5RHH enhances recombinant adeno-associated virus transduction efficiency". This work evaluates the use of various peptides to enhance adeno-associated virus (AAV) cell transduction and was conducted by an independent research group.1 Recombinant AAVs are commonly used as carriers to introduce nucleic acids in cells for gene therapy; several AAV-based gene therapy drugs have already been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Key Points: 
  • The study sought to find ways of increasing the endosomal release of AAV-based therapeutics by using peptides derived from melittin, a component of bee venom known for its ability to permeabilize biological membranes.
  • The research group evaluated 76 melittin derivatives, including p5RHH, the peptide underlying Altamira’s OligoPhore™ / SemaPhore™ nanoparticle platform for RNA delivery.
  • The scientists discovered that insertion of p5RHH into the AAV vector (p5RHH-rAAV) not only enhanced cell transduction, but also succeeded in transducing cell lines typically considered resistant to AAVs.
  • “Better transduction efficiency means that lower doses of AAVs may be used, which could lower the risk for deleterious immune responses and increase the safety of AAV-based vectors.
