The TecTix system is based on transiently reducing the melting point of an active drug by using a combination of known chemical compounds as special permeation enhancers. Reducing the melting point of a drug with our TecTix system, typically results in increased skin permeation, which in the near term should allow Antares to develop novel products specifically targeted for proprietary dermatological and mucosal delivery applications.
The TecTix system has been shown in vitro to improve the absorption of local skin anesthetics. Antares representatives say that the system is particularly useful for dermatological products targeting different layers of the skin or mucosa.
