Intranasal CNS delivery for neurodegenerative disease

AmyloLipid Nanovesicles

Proprietary AmyloLipid Nanovesicle technology designed to improve brain exposure of GLP-1 receptor agonists through direct nose-to-brain delivery.

The Challenge

CNS exposure remains a major challenge

Systemic delivery of peptide therapeutics for CNS disorders remains limited by poor brain exposure, peripheral distribution, and blood-brain barrier constraints.

Recent clinical findings in Alzheimer’s disease suggest that limited CNS exposure may contribute to insufficient therapeutic effect despite measurable biological activity.

The Platform

AmyloLipid Nanovesicles

A proprietary self-assembling nanovesicle system being developed for intranasal CNS delivery of peptide therapeutics.

01 / Platform

Proprietary ALN Platform

AmyloLipid Nanovesicles invented at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and exclusively licensed to MacieTech Pharma.

02 / Route

Intranasal CNS Delivery

Designed to support direct nose-to-brain transport through olfactory-associated pathways while minimizing systemic exposure.

03 / Development

Translational Development

Preclinical platform evaluation across multiple published molecules, now advancing toward GLP-1RA proof of concept.

Platform Evidence

Preclinical platform evaluation

The ALN platform has been evaluated preclinically across multiple therapeutic compounds in various studies, with insulin serving as the most relevant translational reference for polypeptide delivery to the brain.

Representative Evaluation Study

Intranasal Insulin ALNs

Insulin is a high-molecular-weight polypeptide model and provides the most relevant published preclinical bridge to MacieTech’s planned GLP-1RA formulation work.

  • Brain concentrations comparable to IV and SC administration
  • Substantially lower plasma exposure than parenteral routes
  • Higher brain-to-plasma ratio supporting direct nose-to-brain delivery
  • Relevant translational rationale for CNS peptide delivery

Lead Program

Alzheimer’s disease

MacieTech is developing a proprietary GLP-1RA ALN formulation designed to improve regional brain exposure and CNS delivery while minimizing systemic exposure during chronic administration.

MacieTech’s development program is structured to establish CNS exposure, biomarker modulation, and tolerability of intranasal GLP-1RA-loaded ALNs before progressing toward IND-enabling studies.

Early Clinical Development

Future Clinical Integration

Integrated drug–device development

As part of its longer-term translational development strategy, MacieTech Pharma plans to integrate a dedicated multi-dose intranasal inhaler-applicator designed to support precise, reproducible, and user-friendly administration of ALN-encapsulated therapeutics for CNS-targeted delivery, with future potential for digital and biomarker-guided administration optimization.

Platform Potential

Future indications

MacieTech’s proprietary ALN platform is designed as a broader CNS drug delivery technology rather than a single-indication program. The olfactory delivery mechanism and nanoparticle encapsulation technology are well positioned to support future development across additional neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory disorders where targeted brain delivery remains a major therapeutic challenge.

01 / Neurodegenerative

Parkinson’s Disease

A neurodegenerative disorder where targeted delivery to affected brain regions remains a major therapeutic challenge.

02 / Neuroinflammatory

Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

A neuroinflammatory disorder of the central nervous system and a potential future direction for the ALN platform.

03 / Neurodegenerative

ALS

A neurodegenerative disease representing an additional potential CNS target for intranasal ALN delivery.
