  • Micelle composition of polymer and passenger drug
    Patent number: 9107814
    Abstract: Hydrophobic drugs become more practical for treatments by being encapsulated in micelle compositions for increasing solubility. Micelle compositions may include an excipient tocopherol and/or prodrug formulations of the drug. Micelles extend the time period the drug remains in the micelles to improve drug circulation time and thereby drug delivery. Hydrophobic drugs for micelle encapsulation may include rapamycin, geldanamycin, and paclitaxel. Administration of these micelle compositions does not require Cremophor EL or Tween 80, avoiding serious side effects associated with these products which would previously accompany such drug administration.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 30, 2012
    Date of Patent: August 18, 2015
    Assignee: Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation
    Inventors: Glen S. Kwon, Marcus L. Forrest
