Muhammad Akhyar Farrukh 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: 9555009
    Abstract: This invention reports ciprofloxacin (CIP)-encapsulated polymeric nanoparticles and its antibacterial potential with a variety of gram positive and gram negative pathogenic bacteria. CIP-encapsulated nanoparticles of diethylaminoethyl cellulose (DEA-EC) are prepared by the multiple emulsion solvent evaporation method. CIP-encapsulated nanoparticles showed superior effectiveness to inhibit the growth of bacteria in-vitro.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 17, 2014
    Date of Patent: January 31, 2017
    Inventors: Muhammad Akhyar Farrukh, Muhammad Rehan Gul, Muhammad Khaleeq-ur- Rahman
  • Patent number: 9393313
    Abstract: This invention harvests nanocomposite which enable targeted delivery of antibiotics. Biodegradable and biocompatible polymer such as diethylaminoethyl-cellulose (DEAE-Cellulose) are used in combination with iron, which contributes its magnetic characteristics to the nanocomposite. The nanoparticles produced could be used as carriers for releasing chloramphenicol at the targeted site for sustained release.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8911526
    Abstract: To compete with the increasing global food demand, it is necessary to increase the food production. Fertilizers which are in practice now a days has major disadvantage that 50% of nutrient contents loss due to leaching and also leads to ground water contamination. Slow release nitrogenous fertilizers are good in this regard in that they have minimum nutrient loss due to leaching. Potassium aluminum silicate (Leucite) nanoparticles occluded by calcium ammonium nitrates are slow release fertilizers and are synthesized by hydrothermal method. Its application as slow released nitrates fertilizers was determined by observing nitrate release for 16 days.
