MONMOUTH JUNCTION, N.J., June 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- LipoSeuticals, Inc. (LSI), a specialty pharmaceutical company engaged in the development, manufacturing and commercialization of parenteral drug products based on its proprietary and novel drug delivery technology, announced today that it recently closed a financing round for an undisclosed amount led by Delos Capital, a Hong Kong based life sciences fund.

Founded in 2012, LSI has developed a patented sugar-lipid polymer-based formulation platform, Sulocence^® - a unique drug delivery technology that enhances drug stability and solubility. LSI is currently applying the sugar-lipid technology to the reformulation of a number of marketed specialty drugs.

Dr. Lan Bo Chen, who will be joining LSI's Board representing Delos Capital, commented that, "This exciting opportunity enables the LSI management team and Delos to embark on our stated mission of building a premier specialty pharmaceutical company that will develop, manufacture and market proprietary branded formulations of select known drug products. We intend to leverage our deep and strong relationships in the pharmaceutical arena and invest wisely in manufacturing facilities, R&D laboratories and the robust drug pipeline under development at LipoSeuticals in order to build and grow a world-class pharmaceutical organization."

Dr. Nian Wu, founder and inventor of the Sulocence^® technology platform and the Company's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "I am extremely proud of the company that we have built over the course of the past five years with the help of the entire LSI team of scientists and staff. We are delighted that we now have the expertise and financial resources to build on LSI's solid foundation. Our Sulocence^® technology has tremendous potential for improving many drug products that currently suffer from poor solubility, stability, and side effects. We are confident that with the help of Delos' financial resources, experience and strong relationships within the Life Science Industry, we will achieve sustainable success."
