  • Patent number: 11618901
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an anti-miRNA delivery system, and more specifically, relates to a technique of using a cancer-targeting anti-miRNA delivery system including porous silicon nanoparticles containing anti-miRNA to which a cancer cell surface protein-binding peptide is conjugated, for use in treating cancer. As a result of intensive studies in order to use and apply anti-miR-21 oligonucleotides to the treatment of ovarian cancer, the present inventors confirmed for the first time that when porous silicon nanoparticles containing an anti-miRNA-21 oligonucleotide to which a specific cancer cell surface protein-binding peptide is conjugated are applied, apoptosis is induced in an ovarian cancer cell line and cell viability is reduced, thus, an anti-miRNA delivery system, which is the aforementioned conjugate, is expected to be usefully used as a platform for treating various cancers, especially for treating ovarian cancer.

  • Patent number: 11311497
    Abstract: Provided are a pharmaceutical composition including geraniol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient for use in preventing or treating diabetes mellitus, and a method of preventing or treating diabetes mellitus or a complication due to diabetes mellitus of an individual, in which the method includes administering to the individual a pharmaceutical composition comprising geraniol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient and inducing an olfactory stimulation to the individual using the pharmaceutical composition. Also provided is a screening method for an antidiabetic agent that may include contacting a cell expressing an olfactory receptor with a test material; measuring a level of expression of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secreted from the cell; and determining that the test material, when the test material promotes expression of GLP-1, as a candidate material for an antidiabetic agent.
