Ncapsulate® QCX

RNA formulation

Quantoom's proprietary delivery chemistry.

Our Calixarene Nanoparticle (CNP) is a proprietary class of lipid-like delivery molecules engineered for efficient RNA encapsulation, cellular uptake and endosomal escape and RNA release - while reducing dependence on heavily patented ionizable lipid families.

Why choose our CNP?

01

More than a formulation reagent

Ncapsulate® encompasses proprietary delivery chemistries, optimized formulation processes, off-the-shelf formulation products, and formulation-development expertise designed specifically for RNA medicines.

02

QCX at the core

QCX is a proprietary class of lipid-like delivery molecules developed to achieve efficient RNA encapsulation, cellular delivery, endosomal escape and RNA release - while reducing dependence on heavily patented ionizable-lipid families. Structurally distinct from incumbent ionizable lipids such as ALC-0315 (Pfizer/BioNTech) and SM-102 (Moderna), the lead compound QCX-002 pairs an ionizable amine (pKa ~6.5) and a biodegradable ester with independently functionalizable head (R2) and tail (R1) groups - a tunable platform backed by two Quantoom-owned patent families, freedom-to-operate by design.

03

Built to remove real limitations

It addresses the key constraints of current LNP development: complex IP landscapes, difficult access to formulation know-how, specialized equipment requirements, reproducibility challenges and stringent storage conditions.

04

Coherent with the rest of N-Force

By integrating formulation science with upstream RNA design and downstream production, Ncapsulate® enables a coherent pathway from RNA sequence to formulated RNA product.

CNP architecture

Same nanoparticle. One decisive swap.

A conventional lipid nanoparticle (LNP) carries RNA with four lipid roles: a PEG-lipid, cholesterol, a helper lipid, and a complexing lipid (i-lipid). That last piece is what packs the RNA and helps it escape into the cell — and it is also where most of the patented chemistry sits.

Quantoom keeps the same particle. The only change is the complexing lipid: instead of a standard i-lipid, we use our CNP — a lipid-like calixarene chemistry, with QCX-002 as the lead molecule. Same three supporting lipids, same RNA cargo, a different engine at the centre.
