MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611010308 A) filed by Swami Vivekananda Subharti University, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, on Jan. 31, for 'a nanostructured cubosomal delivery system incorporating clove oil for controlled-release antimicrobial applications.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Charu Saxena.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to the development of a clove oil-incorporated cubosomal nanocarrier system for controlled-release antimicrobial applications. Clove oil, a natural antimicrobial agent rich in eugenol, exhibits strong antibacterial and antifungal activity but suffers from limitations including poor aqueous solubility, high volatility, rapid degradation, and burst release in conventional formulations. To overcome these drawbacks, the invention provides a cubosomal composition formed from amphiphilic lipids and stabilizers that self-assemble into a bicontinuous cubic phase nanostructure capable of encapsulating clove oil. The cubosomal nanocarriers, having nanoscale particle size, enhance physicochemical stability of clove oil and enable controlled and sustained release with reduced initial burst effect. The formulation demonstrates prolonged antimicrobial activity, improved efficacy, and reduced frequency of application compared to traditional clove oil formulations."
