Biodelivery that makes a difference! 



BioPharmX Corporation was created to fulfill the unmet medical needs of people worldwide. To achieve that, we take a disciplined approach to research and product development. Our scientists, researchers, marketers and other team members are mission driven, committed to producing novel treatments to cure intractable medical conditions.

We focus exclusively on dermatological issues and women’s health. We seek to develop therapeutic products that provide unique solutions to common medical problems in these areas. Our approach is to create novel mechanisms to deliver effective treatments for persistent and often debilitating conditions.

In dermatology, for example, we are developing a unique way to deliver acne-fighting medicine topically. Today’s most effective acne medications must be ingested, risking undesirable side-effects. Topical treatments tend to be ineffective because their formulations do not deliver medication to the layer of skin where acne forms. Our developmental topical, called BPX-01, effectively delivers small amounts of antibiotic to the acne source, maximizing treatment effectiveness and reducing side-effects.

In women’s health, we are currently focused on improving breast health by treating fibrocystic breast condition, a medical problem that affects half the world’s women. The condition, which often produces breast tenderness and tissue density, can be treated with molecular iodine, which is effective but rarely found in a stable form. Our solution is Violet® iodine, a daily supplement that produces molecular iodine within the body – exactly where it can be most effective.

Both of these solutions demonstrate the power of BioPharmX’s unique combination of innovation and determination.



We develop unique health and wellness products for licensing and commercialization in pharmaceutical and over-the-counter use.





 

   PRODUCTS

By design, BioPharmX's innovative drug delivery products, with their unique patented platform technologies, are formulated to address the needs of well-defined, fast-growing, multi-billion dollar markets, including dermatology, aesthetics, otolaryngology (ears, nose & throat), and women’s health.

 

Violet Iodine
A revolution in women’s breast health.

It’s a daily regimen that alleviates the symptoms you experience with your monthly cycle – like breast tenderness, aches, heaviness and swelling*. Violet iodine doesn’t just mask the discomfort temporarily; it actually promotes better breast health*. When you take a simple pill every day the result is true relief and reassurance that you’re proactively taking care of your breasts.

BPX-01
BioPharmX aims to be a leader in its understanding of the science of the skin.

Currently in phase 2 of clinical development, BPX-01 may offer a breakthrough in acne treatment because it can deliver the antibiotic to the area of the skin where acne develops. The novel hydrophilic (non oil-based) formulation of minocycline may be more effective than other topical alternatives because they either use less effective antibiotics to penetrate the top layer of the skin or rely on higher concentrations of minocycline, which could lead to unpleasant side effects.

BPX-01 is the first and only stable hydrophilic topical gel with fully solubilized minocycline. Minocycline, an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medicine, is the most commonly prescribed acne treatment because it has a lower resistance rate than other antibiotics. No stable form of hydrophilic topical minocycline is currently commercially available.
