This invention introduces a novel anti-cancer therapy derived from structural modifications of ezetimibe, a known cholesterol absorption inhibitor. The modified compound has been designed to address ezetimibe’s limitations in bioavailability and metabolic stability, especially for oral...

This invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising ezetimibe, alone or in combination with curcumin, for the treatment of cancers characterised by the overexpression of the oncogene Mdm2. The technology is based on the novel discovery that ezetimibe, an FDA-approved cholesterol...

This invention introduces a photocatalytic water filtration system designed to purify contaminated water using nanotechnology, capillary coils, and light-activated self-cleaning filtration. The system incorporates a spongy nanofiber-based photocatalytic filter bed within coiled capillary tubes. When...

PhotoNANOX™ is a cutting-edge photosensitising nanocomposite material engineered to deactivate microbial biofilms and degrade organic contaminants in water systems. The material combines porphyrin-based photosensitisers—specifically indium derivatives—with semiconductor metal oxide nanoparticles...

This technology provides a new, eco-friendly way to produce tiny, one-dimensional (1D) crystals of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃), a common material found in substances like chalk and limestone. Unlike traditional methods, this process operates at room temperature and pressure, using only water and a...

QuantumArray™ introduces an automated, cost-effective manufacturing process for fabricating nano- and micro-scale high-temperature Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (SQUIDs).
