n1 project
project concerns the treatment of
using plasmonic thermal phototherapy, which
activates surface plasmons to generate hyperthermia. The
product is a class 3 medical device made of gold nanoparticles
designed using green chemistry, and clinical investigations are
due to begin shortly.skin cancerThe Nanotheranostics – NT1
What is the Nanotheranostics – NT1
project?
Challenges with Current Treatments:
Surgery leaves scars and disfiguration.
Melanoma requires immediate intervention.
Chemotherapy and radiation cause side effects.
Solution: Photothermal Therapy (PTT) using Gold Nanoparticles
Targeted treatment with minimal side effects.
Selective tumor destruction without damaging healthy tissue.
Need for Innovative Treatment
www.torskal.com
Mechanism:
Uses light-sensitive gold nanoparticles (AuNPs).
Near-Infrared (NIR) laser activates gold nanoparticles.
Local heat (7
°
C increase) induces tumor cell death.
Advantages:
Minimally invasive.
Reduces side effects compared to
chemotherapy/radiation.
Selective targeting ensures healthy tissues remain
unaffected.
How Photothermal Therapy (PTT) Works?

•
Green Synthesis of Gold Nanoparticles
•
Uses Hubertia ambavilla, an endemic plant from
Réunion Island.
•
No toxic chemicals involved.
•
Patented process for eco-friendly nanoparticle
synthesis.
•
Why Gold Nanoparticles?
•
Biocompatible and non-toxic.
•
Easily internalized by cancer cells.
•
Highly efficient in converting light to heat.
The Green Chemistry Approach
www.torskal.com
•
Preclinical Studies Results:
•
No toxicity observed at any level.
•
Effective anti-tumor activity in vitro and in vivo.
•
Preferential internalization into cancer cells.
•
Cells die via apoptosis (not necrosis) → reduces inflammation.
•
Current Status:
•
Clinical trials starting soon.
•
Systemic and local administration optimized.
