Modified resveratrol composition and use thereof
11033514 · 2021-06-15 · ·

The present disclosure relates to a resveratrol delivery system having modified resveratrol composition wherein the active ingredient is stable colloidal resveratrol nanoparticles in unconjugated form. The said composition and its process thereof can be used in numerous applications for treatment of a mammal susceptible to or afflicted with insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, aging, apoptosis, inflammation, stress resistance, cancer, cardiovascular disease, muscular dystrophy, low fertility rates or any combination thereof since the modified resveratrol composition has higher bioavailability and greater half-life.

ORAL DELIVERY OF ANGIOTENSIN CONVERTING ENZYME 2 (ACE2) OR ANGIOTENSIN-(1-7)-BIOENCAPSULATED IN PLANT CELLS ATTENUATES PULMONARY HYPERTENSION, CARDIAC DYSFUNCTION AND DEVELOPMENT OF AUTOIMMUNE AND EXPERIMENTALLY INDUCED OCULAR DISORDERS
20210145943 · 2021-05-20 ·

Emerging evidence indicates that diminished activity of the vasoprotective axis of the renin-angiotensin system, constituting angiotensin converting enzyme2 (ACE2) and its enzymatic product, angiotensin-(1-7) [Ang-(1-7)] contribute to pulmonary hypertension (PH). However, clinical success for long-term delivery of ACE2 or Ang-(1-7) would require stability and ease of administration to increase patient compliance. Chloroplast expression of therapeutic proteins enables their bioencapsulation within plant cells to protect from acids and gastric enzymes; fusion to a transmucosal carrier facilitates effective systemic absorption. Oral feeding of rats with bioencapsulated ACE2 or Ang-(1-7) attenuated monocrotaline (MCT)-induced increase in right ventricular systolic pressure, decreased pulmonary vessel wall thickness and improved right heart function in both prevention and reversal protocols. Furthermore, combination of ACE2 and Ang-(1-7) augmented the beneficial effects against cardio-pulmonary pathophysiology induced by MCT administration.

Experiments have also been performed which indicate that this approach is also suitable for the treatment or inhibition of experimental uveitis and autoimmune uveoretinitis These studies provide proof-of-concept for a novel low-cost oral ACE2 or Ang-(1-7) delivery system using transplastomic technology for pulmonary and ocular disease therapeutics.

Taste masking drug formulations

The present disclosure relates to a taste-masking microcapsule composition. The composition comprises a core portion encapsulated by a shell portion. The core portion comprises an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and one or more excipients. The shell portion comprises a hydrophobic matrix and a pH-responsive material. The microcapsule compositions prevent API release at the more neutral pH levels in the oral cavity, but upon exposure to pH levels of the stomach, the pH-responsive material becomes soluble thereby permitting release of the API.
