BIOCOMPATIBLE ORGANOGEL MATRICES FOR PREPARATION OF A DRUG DELIVERY DEPOT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240009320 titled 'BIOCOMPATIBLE ORGANOGEL MATRICES FOR PREPARATION OF A DRUG DELIVERY DEPOT

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure is about an organogel drug depot that can be used in non-sterile environments and applied to non-sterile open wound sites. It is also applicable for delivering an active agent to surgical sites, such as orthopedic implant sites.

  • The organogel drug depot is a system for preparing a drug delivery matrix.
  • It includes an organogel matrix made of an organogelator and a biocompatible organic solvent.
  • The matrix also contains solid particles of an active agent.
  • The system includes a container with at least one wall that can hold the organogel matrix and active agent particles.
  • There is a heating component in the system that can supply heat to the container.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Non-sterile wound care: The organogel drug depot can be used to deliver drugs to non-sterile open wound sites, providing localized treatment.
  • Surgical site drug delivery: It can be used to deliver drugs to surgical sites, such as orthopedic implant sites, enhancing post-operative recovery and reducing the risk of infection.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Non-sterile environment: The organogel drug depot allows for drug delivery in non-sterile environments, expanding the range of treatment options.
  • Controlled drug release: The organogel matrix provides a controlled release of the active agent, ensuring optimal drug delivery to the target site.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Versatility: The organogel drug depot can be used in various non-sterile environments and for different applications, making it a versatile drug delivery system.
  • Localized treatment: The depot allows for localized drug delivery, minimizing systemic side effects and maximizing the therapeutic effect at the target site.
  • Controlled release: The organogel matrix provides a controlled release of the active agent, ensuring sustained and effective drug delivery over time.


Original Abstract Submitted

the present disclosure is directed to an organogel drug depot for use in a non-sterile environment and application to a non-sterile open wound site. the present disclosure is also directed to an organogel drug depot for use in delivering an active agent to a surgical site, such as an implant site, for instance an orthopedic implant site. in a further embodiment, there is disclosed a system for preparing an organogel drug depot including an organogel matrix comprising an organogelator and a biocompatible organic solvent, an active agent comprising solid particles, a container including at least one wall having an outer surface and defining a volume capable of containing the organogel matrix and active agent solid particles, and a heating component configured to contact the outer surface and supply an amount of heat to the container.
