Lexaria Bioscience (OTCMKTS:LXRP) is a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development and licensing of its proprietary DehydraTECH™ drug delivery platform. The company’s core focus is on enhancing the oral absorption, onset time and bioavailability of active pharmaceutical ingredients. By leveraging unique lipid-based formulations and specialized processing methods, Lexaria aims to improve the therapeutic and commercial potential of a range of compounds including cannabinoids, nicotine, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), vitamins and antiviral agents.
Lexaria’s DehydraTECH technology relies on the creation of lipid-molecular complexes that facilitate the passage of active ingredients across cell membranes more efficiently than conventional formulations. This platform has been applied in multiple research programs to increase the speed and extent of drug uptake, reduce unwanted side effects and lower production costs. Preclinical studies have demonstrated significant improvements in pharmacokinetic profiles, and the company is advancing several programs through human clinical trials in areas such as pain management, nicotine replacement therapy and antiviral treatments.
Headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, with operations in Silver Spring, Maryland, Lexaria conducts collaborative research with leading universities and contract research organizations across North America. The firm maintains a diverse pipeline that spans both pharmaceutical and consumer wellness markets. In addition to its in-house development efforts, Lexaria has entered licensing agreements and strategic partnerships to expand the reach of DehydraTECH, targeting global markets in the United States, Canada and Europe.
Founded by Chris Bunka, who serves as Chief Executive Officer, Lexaria Bioscience has grown from a small research venture into a publicly traded company with a multidisciplinary management team. Led by executives with backgrounds in pharmaceutical development, regulatory affairs and commercial strategy, the company continues to pursue new applications of its delivery platform while seeking regulatory approvals and market partnerships to bring its enhanced drug formulations to patients and consumers worldwide.
