- Proprietary catalytic gold nanocrystals comprising Clene's investigational drug CNM-Au8® develop a protein corona upon exposure to human blood plasma comprised of proteins that promote blood-brain barrier penetration, an important feature of the drug's neuroprotective mechanism of action
- The protein corona attracted by CNM-Au8 nanocrystals prevents aggregation upon entering the bloodstream, enabling the drug's longevity in circulation without provoking an inflammatory response
