Nanocarriers

Nanocarriers

BOC Sciences is dedicated to developing high-performance nanocarriers for antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). Leveraging profound expertise in chemical modification and nanoengineering, we have established an integrated development system encompassing multiple platforms, including lipid nanoparticles, polymeric nanoparticles, inorganic nanomaterials, and carbon nanoparticles. We offer not only customized carrier design, antibody conjugation, and intelligent release construction but also possess capabilities in pilot-scale production and GMP translation, fully supporting all stages from early research to commercialization. With a highly modular technical platform and stringent quality control, BOC Sciences provides customers with safe, stable, and controllable ADC nanodelivery solutions to accelerate clinical translation of precision-targeted therapeutics.

Limitations and Difficulties in Nanocarrier Formulation

Comprehensive  Product Line

Poor Structural Controllability

Nanocarrier particle size and distribution tend to fluctuate, affecting product stability. BOC Sciences employs microfluidics and precision process control to ensure batch consistency and structural controllability.

Competitive  Pricing

High Conjugation Heterogeneity

Non-specific conjugation between antibodies and carriers may generate impurities. We provide site-specific conjugation and click chemistry strategies to enhance conjugation uniformity and bioactivity.

Flexible  Ordering Options

Contradiction in Drug Release

Carriers are prone to rapid clearance, making precise release difficult. BOC Sciences constructs a variety of responsive structures to balance circulation stability and target sensitivity.

Strict  Quality Control Testing

Difficulty in Functional Integration

Multifunctional carrier designs are complex and time-consuming. Our modular platform rapidly assembles components, shortening development cycles and reducing costs.

Advanced Nanocarrier Design and Development Services

BOC Sciences possesses a mature nanomaterial development platform capable of offering diverse nanocarrier solutions based on varying ADC structures and therapeutic needs. We develop mainstream types of nanoplatforms from multiple dimensions, including biocompatibility, drug-loading capacity, targeting potential, and in vivo stability of carrier materials:

Lipid Nanoparticles

  • LNP formulation screening and component optimization (e.g., ionizable lipids, neutral lipids, PEGylated lipids);
  • Covalent modification and conjugation with targeting antibodies or ligands;
  • Regulation of encapsulation efficiency and release performance;
  • Development of intelligent release systems such as pH-sensitive or enzyme-responsive types.

Polymeric Nanoparticles

  • Screening of polymeric materials (e.g., PLGA, PEG-PLA, PCL) and polymer functional modification;
  • Design and construction of drug-polymer conjugates (prodrugs);
  • Process development for antibody embedding, encapsulation, or surface conjugation;
  • Evaluation of release profiles and blood stability of nanoparticles.

Inorganic Nanocarriers

  • Surface modification and conjugation layer construction (e.g., silanization, ligand bridging);
  • Co-loading and release mechanism optimization of drugs and antibodies;
  • Development of functionalities such as photothermal or magnetic field response;
  • Design of co-delivery systems with biomacromolecules.

Carbon Nanoparticles

  • Directional modification and antibody linkage of carbon nanomaterials;
  • Enhancement of imaging functionality in delivery systems (fluorescence imaging, photothermal guidance);
  • Development of toxicity assessment and biodegradability improvement strategies;
  • Construction of multifunctional platforms (drug + imaging probe + targeting antibody).
