To date, thrombolytic therapy is the only FDA-approved clinical treatment for ischemic stroke. In addition, physiological barriers complicate the development of therapeutic and diagnostic interventions related for stroke. Therefore, new technologies that enable targeted drug delivery to specific brain regions, selective drug release, and improved drug bioavailability hold promise as effective adjunctive therapies for stroke. Researchers working to improve drug delivery to ischemic stroke sites have developed many effective strategies to address the limitations of drug therapy.

Ace Therapeutics is a leading provider of stroke drug development services. We help clients develop innovative drug delivery solutions for stroke. Our scientists have many years of experience in the development of drug delivery systems. Our services include custom design, flexible developing, and preclinical research of delivery systems, with aim to help clients accelerate the development of stroke therapies.
We can develop multiple types of drug delivery systems to meet the needs of clients.
Nanoparticles can increase the concentration of a drug on the surface of cells in the BBB, or the nanoparticles can increase the circulation time in the blood, giving the drug more opportunities to cross the BBB. Ace Therapeutics offers comprehensive services to help clients develop feasible and effective nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems to deliver stroke drugs to targeted ischemic brain regions.
Ace Therapeutics provides reliable strategies for liposome design and drug efficacy data and drug efficacy data to assist clients in the development of liposome-based drug delivery systems. These liposome-based drug delivery systems allow stroke drugs to cross the blood-brain barrier and also protect stroke drugs from degradation by the biological environment, thereby increasing circulation time and accumulation in target tissues.
Exosomes have the advantages of biocompatibility, biological stability and targeting as drug delivery carriers. In addition, Exosomes are involved in increasing long-term neuroprotection after stroke, promoting nerve regeneration, enhancing neurological recovery, and regulating peripheral immune responses. Based on the understanding of the role of exosomes in cerebral ischemia, Ace Therapeutics offers a range of services to help clients develop exosome-based drug delivery systems for stroke.
Nasal drug delivery of a variety of therapeutic compounds, including small chemicals, large proteins, and even stem cells, has proven to be highly effective in bypassing the BBB. Ace Therapeutics offers comprehensive nasal drug delivery system development services to pharmaceutical companies focused on stroke. Working together, our professionals can optimize nasal drug delivery systems and develop new drug formulations to make stroke drugs suitable for intranasal delivery.
Gene delivery system design is the key to gene therapy for stroke. Ace Therapeutics offers reliable virus-based gene delivery system development services to help clients accelerate the development of gene therapy for stroke. Our team of experts utilizes molecular biology, viral vector design techniques, RNA sequencing, and bioinformatics to design and develop virus-based gene delivery systems to meet the unique needs of pharmaceutical companies.
We use advanced technologies and materials to help pharmaceutical companies and stroke-focused research institutions develop more efficient and convenient drug delivery systems. These systems contribute to:
Ace Therapeutics is a partner that can provide one-stop services from drug delivery system design and development to preclinical research. Integrating our drug delivery system development services into the early stages of stroke drug development can reduce the overall time and cost of the drug development lifecycle.
