Patents by Inventor Jungkyun Im

Jungkyun Im has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11464864
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a CPT-bound compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, the CPT-bound compound being obtained by binding CPT (or a CPT derivative) and guanidine to a reduced monosaccharide. The CPT-bound compound enhances solubility and cell permeability of the CPT drug, which makes it possible to effectively deliver CPT to target cells. Therefore, a pharmaceutical composition comprising, as an active ingredient, the CPT-bound compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is expected to be able to effectively treat cancer, in particular, colorectal cancer, even with a low dose of CPT.

  • Patent number: 10500174
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an ibuprofen conjugate in which ibuprofen (S-(+)-ibuprofen) is covalently linked to a guanidine-terminal-group-bound sugar alcohol derivative and to a pharmaceutical composition containing the same. The ibuprofen conjugate in which ibuprofen is covalently linked to a guanidine-terminal-group-bound sugar alcohol derivative can more effectively penetrate into the brain by passing through the blood-brain barrier (BBB), thus enabling efficient drug delivery to the brain, whereby administration of the ibuprofen conjugate in an optimal dose can minimize side effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and can prevent or treat degenerative brain disease.

  • Publication number: 20180236088
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for skin permeation to deliver a protein into skin, wherein the composition comprises an ionic conjugate in which a cationic compound and a protein are ionically bound. As the ionic conjugate according to the present invention allows the protein to easily pass through cell membranes and skin membranes, it is possible to deliver the protein to an epidermal or dermal layer of the skin.
