The present invention discloses a microcapsule powder stable in gastric acid, a method for preparing the same and use thereof. The microcapsule powder comprises a core material and a capsule material coated outside the core material, wherein the capsule material has a melting point of greater than 42° C., and the capsule material does not decompose or dissolve under the action of protease and gastric acid, but decomposes under the action of intestinal digestive enzymes. The core material is coated with the capsule material in the microcapsule powder, thus achieving high-efficiency coating of the core material by a single component. The microcapsule powder achieves conventional intragastric stability as well as favorable stability in an open environment at room temperature, thus solving the problem that the conventional embedding solution may only achieve intragastric stability, but the stability in an open environment at room temperature is low.

The invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition of the cores of microgranules containing pancreatin, cetyl alcohol, poloxamer 407 in predetermined quantities, the production method, as well as the production of the water-based enteric-coated microgranules. Furthermore, the resulting oral dosage form does not contain residual acetone. The technical result is in achieving higher stability of the cores and the enteric-coated microgranules, respectively, while maintaining the good solubility of the enteric-coated microgranules, which allows the application of the claimed pancreatin microgranules for the preparation of safe and non-toxic drugs for the treatment of digestive disorders.

The present invention generally relates to microfluidic droplets and, including forming gels within microfluidic droplets. In some aspects, a fluid containing agarose or other gel precursors is transported into a microfluidic droplet, and caused to harden within the droplet, e.g., to form a gel particle contained within the microfluidic droplet. Surprisingly, a discrete gel particle may be formed even if the fluid containing the agarose or other gel precursor, and the fluid contained within the microfluidic droplet, are substantially immiscible. Other aspects of the present invention are generally directed to techniques for making or using such gels within microfluidic droplets, kits containing such gels within microfluidic droplets, or the like.

The present invention relates to a new formulation of specific nutritional ingredients (nutraceuticals) and/or pharmaceutical compounds.

A method of producing coated microcapsules comprises the steps of producing microcapsules by cold gelation having a denatured or hydrolysed protein matrix and an active agent contained within the matrix, and drying the microcapsules. A meltable coating composition comprising wax and oil and configured to have a melting point of about 70° C. to about 100° C. is heated to a temperature above the melting point of the meltable coating composition to melt the meltable coating composition, and the microcapsules are coated with the melted meltable coating composition

The present invention relates to a new delivery system for nutritional ingredients (nutraceuticals). These nutritional ingredients are useful for gut and metabolic health in monogastric animals, especially in humans.

The present invention relates to S1P receptor modulators, preferably mocravimod, for use in treating patients suffering from a hematological malignancy, e.g., acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and who have undergone allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The invention relates in particular to methods of treating AML in subjects undergoing HSCT, wherein said method comprises daily administering an efficient amount of S1P receptor modulator, preferably mocravimod, to said subject in need thereof, for at least 6 months, preferably at least 12 months.

The present invention relates to a new process for the preparation of microcapsules. Microcapsules obtainable by said process are also an object of the invention. Perfuming compositions and consumer products comprising said capsules, in particular perfumed consumer products in the form of home care or personal care products, are also part of the invention.

Provided is a microcapsule for increasing the survival and/or function of a cell, such as an islet cell, microcapsule can include an outer shell comprising a first polymer; an interior core comprising: at least one live cell; a second polymer; and at least one microsphere comprising a third polymer and a compound capable of improving survival of the at least one cell. The improved survival and/or function of the at least one live cell in the microcapsule is compared to a live cell in a microcapsule in the absence of the compound capable of improving survival of the at least one cell. The first and second polymer may include alginate and the third polymer (used for the microsphere) may comprise PLGA. The compound may include a GLP-1 receptor agonist. Also provided are methods for producing such microcapsules; insulin delivery systems using the microcapsules, and methods to treat disease, such as diabetes, using the microcapsules.

The present invention relates to a method for preparing biodegradable microspheres using a single-phase mixed solution containing water, alcohol, and dichloromethane. Provided is a method for preparing a biodegradable microsphere having a uniform drug loading efficiency by preparing and using a single-phase mixed solution in which no phase separation occurs without using a thickener and a surfactant. The preparation method of the present invention has the feature of keeping the content of a loaded drug uniform until a final biodegradable microsphere is prepared, by using a single-phase mixed solution in which no phase separation by a solvent occurs in the preparation process. Thus, the preparation method of the present invention is remarkably useful for the preparation of biodegradable microspheres.
