NanoCor Therapeutics, Inc. is engaged in the development of novel therapeutics for the treatment of various cardiovascular diseases at the molecular level. NanoCor’s lead therapeutic is Carfostin™, an intracellular protein therapeutic for the treatment of Chronic Heart Failure (CHF). Carfostin™ is comprised of the delivery of a therapeutic gene, protein Phosphatase-1 Inhibitor-1 (I-1) with the use of Biological NanoParticles (BNPs™) and the Self-Complementary Vector Technology. This novel approach, which represents an important adjunct to existing therapies, will provide a minimal-invasive treatment for these patients and advance the current standard of care.
