Nitto Denko, Quark Pharma Collaborate To Jointly Develop siRNA Anti-fibrotic Drug
Published: 19-Jul-2010

Nitto Denko, a Japan-based diversified materials manufacturer and Quark Pharmaceuticals, a company into the discovery and development of RNAi-based therapeutics, have entered into a collaboration and license agreement for the development of siRNA therapeutics for the treatment of fibrotic diseases.

Nitto Denko and Quark Pharma are expected to develop siRNA drugs using Quark’s RNAi technologies and new structures providing freedom to operate in the siRNA intellectual property space and Nitto Denko’s drug delivery technologies for new therapeutic concepts, currently owned by Nitto Denko.

Daniel Zurr, CEO of Quark Pharma, said: "We shall be using our technologies, intellectual property and capabilities to quickly bring drug candidates to clinical stage and Nitto is expected to provide its delivery technologies and therapeutic strategy as well as their world class capabilities in oligonucleotide production."

Kageshi Maruyama, officer of Nitto Denko, said: "We are pleased to work with Quark, we selected Quark based on the characteristics of its siRNA structure and chemical modifications and look forward to utilising this technology to create medicines."

Yoshiro Niitsu of Sapporo Medical University, School of Medicine, Sapporo, said: “I am very confident that siRNA drugs directed simultaneously to one or more specific target genes are the appropriate approach for therapies for a number of fibrotic diseases that are currently a totally unmet medical need.

“Our research has demonstrated that the adequate siRNA, appropriately delivered to the liver caused regression of liver fibrosis and prolonged survival time in siRNA treated animals. It is very likely that this approach is suitable to fibrotic diseases in other organs as well.”

Nitto Denko Group to Supply Industry's Largest-Class 16-Inch RO Membrane to World's Biggest Seawater Desalination Plant in Israel

Japan's leading diversified materials manufacturer Nitto Denko Corporation (TOKYO:6988) and its U.S. water treatment technology subsidiary Hydranautics (collectively "Nitto Denko Group") have been contracted to supply the company's newly-developed, industry's largest-class 16-inch SWC-1640 and ESPAB-1640 elements to the world's biggest (*) seawater desalination plant, to be constructed near the coastal city of Ashkelon, Sorek, Israel.

The facility, Israel's fourth grand-scale desalination plant-to-be, will supply the country's greatest 411,000 m3/day capacity of water in 2013.

The contract was awarded by the design and construction contractor for the plant, Sorek Desalination Ltd.

(*) The plant is the world's biggest as a seawater desalination plant with 16-inch elements installed.

Outline of the Order
Plant Site: Sorek, Israel
Capacity it accounts for: 205,500 m3/day
Startup Date: 2013 (Scheduled)

Special Features of 16-inch Membrane Element

With water shortages turning increasingly serious around the world, the water treatment market is showing significant growth. Given such a trend, water treatment plant capacity has been increasing in scale in recent years. The development of a 16-inch (40cm) Reverse Osmosis (RO) membrane element makes it possible for such large-scale facilities to significantly reduce their initial investment cost as well as operating costs.

Compared to the industry's conventional 8-inch element, the effective membrane area (the membrane area in an element through which raw water can be filtered) and water production capacity per element are increased fourfold. As a result, it allows a water treatment plant to reduce its initial investment cost by some 10%, as well as the life cycle cost by approximately $61 million over two decades.

Special Features of SWC5-1640

Normally five to seven Megapascal (MPa) pressure must be applied to membrane modules for desalinating seawater, a process requiring an abundance of electricity. As SWC5-1640 can execute desalination with lower pressure applied than before, it consumes less electricity.

In general, water flux and rejection are in a mutually exclusive relationship. But being an energy-saving type, SWC5-1640 achieves high water flux without sacrificing rejection much, and hence it contributes to more economical seawater desalination.

Special Features of ESPAB-1640

Seawater typically contains four to five milligrams of boron per liter. It is said that regular intake of boron may affect human body adversely, and the World Health Organization (WHO) therefore states that the concentration of boron in drinking water must be less than 0.5 milligrams per liter.

ESPAB-1640 minimizes boron concentration to a level which doesn't affect the human body, by secondarily treating product water produced by SWC5-1640.

Water Availability Situation in Israel

With more than half of the country's land consisting of desert, water shortages in urban areas of Israel however worsening due the pollution and drought. Groundwater is drying up and causing saltwater intrusion. The Israeli government is promoting seawater desalination as a countermeasure to combat such problems, and it plans to meet a major portion of the country's water supply needs by utilizing seawater desalination.

Outline and Future Direction of Nitto Denko's Water Treatment Business

Leveraging some of the most cutting-edge membrane fabrication technology in the world today, Nitto Denko Group has an enviable history of success in ultra-pure water creation and seawater desalination, as well as in the wastewater treatment fields. The group boasts equal number one share together with Dow Chemical Company in the world market for RO membrane elements for producing industrial and public-use ultra-pure water.

The Group plans to further boost its capability in pre-treatment technology of not only RO membrane specialties, but also microfiltration and ultrafiltration membranes as well as microbioreactor processes in growth domains such as seawater desalination and wastewater reclamation. It also hopes to raise the value offering to customers in the water treatment business by further implementing membrane maintenance and repair service businesses.

Nitto suspends polarizer production at Suzhou plant, says report
Steve Shen, DIGITIMES, Taipei Monday 15 January 2018

Nitto Denko, a major Japan-based supplier of flexible printed circuit boards (FPCBs) and polarizers, has decided to suspend the production of polarizers at its plant in Suzhou, China, a move which might benefit Taiwan-based polarizer suppliers, according to a Chinese-language Economic Daily News report.

Nitto's suspension of polarizer production at the Suzhou plant came as no surprise to the LCD panel industry after it entered into a technical partnership agreement with Hangzhou Jinjiang Group in late 2017 to provide technological support to the China-based company to manufacture large-scale polarizing films for use in LCD TVs.

Nitto has also reached a technical cooperation contract with Taiwan-based Chimei Materials. With the support from Nitto, Chimei is aggressively ramping up its production capacity by constructing three 2,500 mm polarizer production lines in China with the first of such lines to come online in the second quarter of 2019, said the report.

Nitto's decision indicated that it will move its focus to high-margin small- and medium-sized polarizers for handset and automobile applications, leaving Taiwan- and Korea-based suppliers to compete against each other in the TV-use polarizer market , particularly in China, noted the report.

Chimei Materials and fellow company BenQ Materials are expected to receive more windfall orders for polarizers from China as a result of Nitto's decision, the reporte added.
