  • Polymeric nanocarriers with linear dual response mechanism
    Patent number: 9687553
    Abstract: Nanocarriers are synthesized with polymers that respond to lower pH and/or ROS by being degraded. The compositions may be utilized to selectively deliver payloads within patients by responding to lower pH and/or ROS at localities within the patient. The present invention also features methods of synthesizing nanocarriers that are degraded by lower pH and/or ROS.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 7, 2014
    Date of Patent: June 27, 2017
    Assignee: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
    Inventors: Adah Almutairi, Jagadis Sankaranarayanan, Enas Mahmoud, Eric Schopf
  • LIGHT DEGRADABLE DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR OCULAR THERAPY
    Publication number: 20150119792
    Abstract: A system and method for delivering a payload to ocular tissue includes a solution of light-degradable nanoparticles encapsulating the payload. The solution may be introduced to the ocular tissue by way of injection or through a contact lens into which the solution is embedded. A light source delivers a beam of light to the ocular tissue at the location where the solution was introduced to initiate breakdown of the particles, releasing the payload. The light source may be a laser, LED, LCD or arc lamp emitting in the ultraviolet light range.
