Step One
The positively charged surface of a nanocarrier meets a cell membrane.
Step Two
The cell membrane envelopes nanocarrier and their cargo, forming an early endosome. Unable to breakdown the BAPC®️, the late endosome wall breaks down releasing the contents in the perinuclear cytosol.
Step Three
The new pH results in a reduction of electrostatic attraction, and the payload is released. Nucleic acids are released from the nanocarrier into the cytosol.
- Phoreus provides universal carrier technologies that will store, protect, and deliver a new class of vaccines and therapeutics to the world without the need for sophisticated logistics and cold chain storage.
- Our nanocarriers are novel, self-assembling, peptide-based nanoparticles that overcome the limitations of lipid nanoparticles.
- They are non-toxic to cells, which is a critical development and a vital part of the future of vaccine development.
- They also allow mRNA to remain stable at room temperature, require no specialized equipment to combine with genetic materials, and cause no injection site reactions.
- They are the ideal carrier for genetic vaccines, cancer therapeutics, and genetic editing tools.

Biodegradable Drug-Delivery Peptide Nanocapsules
ABSTRACT: Branched amphiphilic peptide capsules (BAPC®️s) are an efficient transport system that can deliver nucleic acids, small proteins, and solutes. The ability of BAPC®️s to break down is essential to their adoption as a delivery vehicle for human and agricultural applications. Until now, however, BAPCs were shown to be inert to…

FAQs
What are Branched Amphipathic Peptide Capsules (BAPC®️)?
BAPC®️ are nanospheres made from two branched peptides that self-assemble to form solvent-filled, bilayer defined capsules. They serve as nano-delivery vehicles that overcome many of the poor absorption issues that plague certain classes of drugs: vaccines, therapeutics, diagnostics, pesticides, etc.
Due to their extreme temperature stability, BAPC®️ have distinct advantages over other nano-carriers and can even be autoclaved. While liposomal-based carries break down too quickly in biological systems, polymer-based carriers don’t decompose at all and can build up in the environment. BAPC®️ offer just the right amount of stability while maintaining low cytotoxicity and immunogenicity.
Can BAPC®️ be customized for my specific application?
Yes. We realize that all research has unique considerations, so we can customize BAPC®️ to your exact specifications. If you’re not sure which size BAPC®️ are best suited for your research, we invite you to contact our team for a consultation.
What commercial applications can BAPC®️ be used for?
BAPC®️ are an adaptable carrier platform with applications for multiple industries.
These include:
- Medical Vaccines
- Medical Therapeutics
- Diagnostic Imaging
- Veterinary Vaccines
- Veterinary Therapeutics
- Veterinary Pesticides
- Plant Nutrition
- Plant Insecticides
- Plant Fungicides
