 PROFILE
AP Pharma (formerly Advanced Polymer Systems) is advancing drug delivery technology. The firm has developed bioerodible polymers for injectable, implantable, and oral drug delivery aimed at improving the effectiveness and safety of prescription drugs. Products that use its topical Microsponge technology include Retin-A Micro skin cream (with Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical, a Johnson & Johnson subsidiary) and a treatment for pre-cancerous skin conditions (with Aventis' Dermik Laboratories). AP Pharma is also working on a system to carry anti-cancer drugs directly to solid tumors. Cardinal Health subsidiary R.P.
