A Molecular Scaffold for Colonic Drug Delivery
A molecule which passes through the gastrointestinal tract was successfully synthesized and tested for GI MRI imaging in mice. A molecular scaffold bearing eight terminal alkyne groups was synthesized from sucrose, and copies of an azide-terminated Gd-DOTA complex were attached via copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition. This contrast agent...

Targeted Drug Delivery in the Gastrointestinal Tract, including for Inflammatory Bowel Disease
This invention is a scaffold molecule and a method for using the molecule to deliver active drug molecules to targets in the body. The sucrose-derived scaffold molecule delivers the drug to target sites and releases the drug molecules based on environmental factors, which improves efficacy and reduces side effects.
Background:
Throughout their research,...
