DELIVERY TECHNOLOGY

04.12

Drug Delivery
starts with specification.

Chitosan provides multiple ways to carry, protect and release an active ingredient across local and systemic delivery concepts.

01 · THE CUSTOMER PROBLEM

Drug-delivery programs need to protect the active, control where it resides and manage how it is released without losing manufacturability or stability.

Mykito combines tunable cationic chemistry with particles, films, coatings and hydrogels to build route-specific delivery architectures.

Chitosan provides multiple ways to carry, protect and release an active ingredient across local and systemic delivery concepts.

02 · RECOMMENDED STARTING POINT

Start with the material designed for the decision.

MYKITO PLATFORMChitoGene
RECOMMENDED SAMPLEA route-specific EndoFree carrier-grade screening set and formulation brief.

Its cationic charge, reactive backbone and formability allow one engineered polymer to support nanoparticles, ocular systems, controlled-release matrices and targeted-delivery research.

01

Without the shell

Controlled fungal sourcing supports a traceable, non-animal supply strategy.

02

Specification engineered

MW, DDA, purity, charge density and format are selected around the target result.

03

Application ready

Powder is only the starting point; Mykito also develops films, fibers, gels, coatings and formulations.

04

One technical partner

Material selection, formulation support and the validation plan are connected from the first sample.

03 · PERFORMANCE TARGETS

Build toward outcomes a buyer can measure.

01

Controlled release

Matrix structure, crosslinking and degradation can be tuned to modify the rate and duration of release.

02

Nanoparticles

Ionic gelation and polymer complexation enable particulate carriers for small molecules, proteins and nucleic acids.

03

Ocular delivery

Mucoadhesive particles and gels can be developed to increase residence time on the ocular surface.

04

Targeted delivery

Functional groups allow conjugation and surface modification for tissue- or receptor-targeting research.

05

Adjuvant systems

Particulate and mucosal platforms can be investigated for co-delivery and adjuvant functions.

04 · GO / NO-GO CRITERIA

Define the evidence before testing begins.

The first program is designed around three decision-making outputs—not an open-ended material trial.

01

Loading and active protection

02

Residence and release kinetics

03

Stability, safety and route-specific performance

05 · FROM SAMPLE TO DECISION

A practical application program,
not a bag of powder.

01

Define

Agree on the function, baseline, constraints and measurable success criteria.

02

Screen

Select the MW, DDA, purity, dose and physical format that fit the application.

03

Validate

Test the winning system in the finished formulation, device, process or use environment.

06 · WHY CHITOSAN

Cationic complexation + matrix control

Protonated amino groups can interact with selected anionic actives, polymers and biological surfaces. MW, DDA, crosslinking and architecture then provide levers for adhesion, protection and release.

FORMULATION WINDOW

There is no universal concentration. Grade and dose are screened against pH, interacting ingredients, process conditions and the target performance profile.

QUALIFICATION

Route-specific purity, residuals, compatibility, stability and regulatory suitability are established for the finished system.

DEVELOPMENT CONTEXT

These application pathways describe material-development potential, not a claim that any final device, drug or therapy is approved. Biocompatibility, safety, performance, sterilization and regulatory requirements are established for the finished product and its intended use.
