Shares of Bio-Path Holdings (NASDAQ: BPTH) have rocketed on Wednesday after the company announced it received its third US patent Grant related to the manufacture of platform technology.
The United States Patent and Trademark Office has granted the company U.S. Patent No. 10,898,506 titled, “P-ethoxy nucleic acids for liposomal formulation.” The new patent builds on earlier patents granted tp Bio-Path that protect the platform technology for DNAbilize, the firm’s novel RNAi nanoparticle drugs.
“Our innovative DNAbilize platform improves upon the drawbacks of traditional approaches, which are limited by the toxicity induced by either the DNA backbone or the lipid delivery,” said Peter Nielsen, President and CEO of Bio-Path Holdings.
