  • Patent number: 11554096
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a hydrogel formulation for delivering probiotics including a hydrogel, probiotics and zwitterionic buffer as an active ingredient, a composition for delivering probiotics comprising the same and a method of preparing the same, which adjust and maintain the internal pH of the hydrogel even in the gastric juice environment, thereby increasing the survival rate of the probiotics in the gastric juice and improving the delivery rate to the large intestine, by further adding zwitterionic buffer capable of maintaining pH to the hydrogel encapsulated with probiotics.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220096376
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for drug delivery to a tissue having a tight junction comprising a triolein emulsion of an internal water phase/oil phase/external water phase (Water/Oil/Water, W/O/W) structure in which oil droplet comprises triolein and water droplets are enclosed in the oil droplet, as an active ingredient, and a method of preparing the same, and the triolein emulsion of the W/O/W-type structure according to the present invention has excellent safety because it retains the BBB opening activity of triolein as it is and the water droplets are enclosed in the oil droplets and contain surfactants and can further enclose fat-soluble drugs in the oil droplets and thus it can more effectively deliver drugs to tissues having tight junctions such as the brain, testicles, and retina.
