The invention relates to a transmucosal delivery system for idebenone, comprising an external phase, which contains at least one hydrophilic polymer, and an inner hydrophobic phase, which contains idebenone and at least one hydrophobic substance, wherein the inner hydrophobic phase is emulsified in the form of droplets in the external phase. The invention is characterized in that the inner hydrophobic phase is stabilized by at least one emulsifier in the external phase. The invention also relates to a method for producing the same and its use as a medicament.

The present invention relates to fatty acid-modified polymer nanoparticles, and a use thereof. In the present invention, nanoparticles having embedded calcium carbonate crystals can be formed using a biocompatible polymer and an adipocyte-targeting ligand (a fatty acid) to minimize delivery to surrounding cells and tissues other than adipocytes and maximize the embedding of the nanoparticles into adipocytes. The nanoparticles according to the present invention can be produced as an injectable preparation, and can be applied to local lipolysis supplements or diet and beauty products that break down localized fat.

Disclosed are multi-compartmental nanoparticulate systems for imaging as well as the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of inflammation and/or disease. These multicompartmental nanoparticulate systems can be used to target specific cells or cellular structures. Furthermore, these systems are capable of simultaneous delivery of hydrophilic and lipophilic compositions. Finally, these systems also allow for temporal control of drug delivery.
