Lexaria is technology for improved delivery of bioactive compounds.
CSE:LXX; OTCQX:LXRP
Welcome to Lexaria Bioscience Corp.
Lexaria Bioscience Corp’s ( OTCQX:LXRP / CSE:LXX;) proprietary drug delivery technology, DehydraTECH™, improves the way active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) enter the bloodstream by promoting healthier ingestion methods and increasing the effectiveness of fat-soluble active molecules, thereby lowering overall dosing.
The Company’s technology can be applied to many different ingestible product formats, including foods, beverages, oral suspensions, tablets, and capsules. DehydraTECH increases bio-absorption by up to 5-10x, reduces time of onset from 1 – 2 hours to 15 – 20 minutes, and masks unwanted tastes for orally administered bioactive molecules, including anti-virals, cannabinoids, vitamins, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), nicotine, and other molecules.
Lexaria has licensed DehydraTECH to multiple companies in the cannabis industry for use in cannabinoid beverages, edibles, and oral products and to a world-leading tobacco producer for the development of smokeless, oral-based nicotine products. Lexaria operates a licensed in-house research laboratory and holds a robust intellectual property portfolio with 16 patents granted and over 60 patents pending worldwide.
Introducing Lexaria and DehydraTECH Technology
About DehydraTECH
Lexaria’s patented technology, DehydraTECH™ delivers these important benefits:
Masks taste/odor
Eliminates the strong tastes/odors of lipophilic compounds, without the need for unwanted sugar or sweeteners
Reduces time of onset
Effects are felt within 15-20 min vs. 60-120 min.
Avoids first-pass liver metabolism
Initial testing indirectly evidences DehydraTECH may deliver ingested molecules through the lymphatic system instead of being subject to immediate “first pass” liver exposure, potentially mitigating unwanted side effects and reducing liver biotransformation.
Increases bio-absorption
Bio-absorption increases up to 3 – 10X, to equate or exceed that of other routes of administration like inhalational delivery.
Lexaria’s disruptive new technology DehydraTECH can be licensed to improve existing drug delivery through orally-ingested products; or create revolutionary new ones.
DehydraTECH Commercial Applications
Lexaria’s DehydraTECH™ is designed specifically for formulating and delivering lipophilic (i.e. fat-soluble) drug payloads. It is patented or patent-pending for use with a broad range of bioactive molecules, including but not limited to:
