In the same year, an influential company active in the field of patent valuation at the international level evaluated the patent for advanced Chelate Compounds technology in three areas: chelated nano fertilizers, livestock chelated feed supplement (Bonzaplex7), and poultry chelated feed supplement (Bonzachicken), and exposed it to international joint venture agreements. Following this development, large companies active in the agriculture, livestock, and poultry sectors, such as the 150-year-old US company of “Cargill,” the Canadian company of “ATP Nutrition,” and three European companies, expressed readiness to collaborate with SASh Co. Despite several negotiation sessions and the willingness expressed by these companies, due to obstacles arising from sanctions, this collaboration did not materialize.

Since 2016, following the publication of outstanding results obtained from SASh Co.'s anticancer nanodrug in cellular and animal studies, this nanodrug entered the human trial phase. The successful outcomes, particularly in extending the lifespan of patients, were published in the reputable Journal of Nanobiotechnology.
