Abraxis BioScience (Nasdaq: ABBI) is developing drugs based on
its nab (nanoparticle-albumin bound) technology.
Essentially, the company takes chemotherapy drugs and surrounds
them with albumin protein.
Since albumin is used by tumor cells as a way to bring in
nutrients, the tumor cells take up the albumin-bound drug
more readily than they would a similar drug without albumin.
The shell also increases the solubility of the drug, making
it easier to deliver it to wherever it's needed in the body.
