NOD technology is a highly efficient approach to incorporate peptides or proteins into bio-adhesive nano-particles to enable oral delivery of drugs otherwise administered as injections. NOD technology is a platform technology that can be applied to many macromolecular drugs such as insulin, interferon, growth hormone, exenatide, heparin and more.

Currently, an oral insulin formulation, the first candidate developed with NOD technology, is entering phase I clinical studies in China.

"Patent allowance for NOD technology is a major step forward for NOD", quoted from William Lee, CEO. "With this patent, and in combination with others, NOD is building a solid foundation for its intellectual property and core competence."
