A revolution is taking place in the chitosan industry

Alpha Chitin and Novochizol SA join efforts to produce a chitosan-based polysaccharide with unique properties

What is NovochizolTM?

Novochizol™ technology quantitatively transforms single linear chitosan molecules into cross-linked, uniformly sized nanospheres. They can be used alone for their anti-inflammatory and immune-stimulating properties or as bioadherent carriers. Any type of biologically active substance can be formulated: small molecules, peptides, nucleic acids, and proteins. Novochizol™ retains all the benefits of chitosan and overcomes all of its limitations, offering first-in-class solutions in therapeutics, diagnostics, tissue engineering, and material sciences.

Why use NovochizolTM?

● Strong adherence to tissues or materials at site of application.
● Injectable, oral, or topical formulations, aerosols, solid matrices.
● Sustained local release of any API, without systemic distribution.
● Intracellular delivery of even large proteins targeting a variety of cell types.
● Formulation of even the most recalcitrant active ingredients.
● Safety profile inherited from chitosan (GRAS).
● Numerous applications in pharma, medical devices, agriculture and cosmetics.
