LIR Life Sciences Announces Initiation of Phase 1 Macromolecule-Enabled Transdermal Delivery Development with Neuland Laboratories

About this update from Lir Life Sciences Corp.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / May 22, 2026 / LIR Life Sciences Corp. (CSE:SKNY)(OTCPK:BBCMF)(Frankfurt:N790, WKN:A41QA9) ("LIR" or the "Company")is pleased to announce that Neuland Laboratories Limited ("Neuland") has ordered the required raw materials and is preparing to initiate Phase 1 of its macromolecule-enabled transdermal delivery development activities under the previously announced services agreement (see Company press release dated January 8, 2026) between the parties. Phase 1 of the program involves the solid-phase synthesis, purification, and analytical characterization of a highly active macromolecule delivery agent of relevance to LIR's transdermal delivery platform. Neuland will produce approximately 200 mg of an efficient transdermal agent as part of this initial development phase. This Phase 1 work represents the first operational step in a staged development program designed to support formulation development, transdermal testing, and subsequent biological evaluation in collaboration with LIR's external research partners. The material generated in this phase is intended for early feasibility and performance studies rather than commercial use. Neuland is a globally recognized pharmaceutical manufacturer with established expertise in chemical synthesis, analytical characterization, and GMP-aligned development processes. Under the agreement, Neuland is responsible for executing the Phase 1 synthesis in accordance with agreed technical specifications and industry standards, with all resulting materials and data owned by LIR. The initiation of the macromolecule-enabled transdermal delivery development follows LIR's recent progress across multiple preclinical programs aimed at advancing needle-free, skin-applied delivery strategies for peptide-based therapies. Data generated from this work are expected to inform subsequent formulation optimization and selection of lead candidates for further development. "This phase builds on the strong foundational work already completed and represents an important step in translating that progress into material for formulation and transdermal evaluation. Our work with Neuland is expected to add practical development insight around macromolecule production, formulation performance, and the considerations that will help shape the next stages of our preclinical...
