MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541123420 A) filed by Saveetha Institute Of Medical And Technical Sciences, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 8, 2025, for 'iron oxide nanoparticles gel using momordica charantica leaves against wound pathogens.'
Inventor(s) include Sulochana Govindharaj; Rajeshkumar Shanmugam; and Deepak Nallaswamy Veeraiyan.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present study reports a green synthesis procedure for iron oxide narioparticles (Fe20JNPs) from aquatic Momordica charantia leaf extract, a medicinal herb with proved pharmacologically active. The Fe20JNPs gel were prepared and characterized by standard physicochemical techniques to ensure their formation and stability. In vitro biomedical evaluations were conducted to establish their anti-microbial activity and antibiofilm activity against wound pathogens in E. coli, S. aureus, Pseudomonas sp. E. faecalis, and Actinobacter sp .. The nanoparticles based gel exhibited outstanding inhibitory zone in antimicrobial activity The Fe20JNPs gel exhibited moderate antibiofilm activity against wound patho-gens:-The-results-implicated-that-M.-charantia-mediated--Fe2QJNFs-gel-exhibit-multifunctionaL ___ bioactivities, towards their application as eco-friendly nanotherapeutic agents to wound infectious disease. Mechanism of action and in vivo efficacy studies need to b.e assayed in future research."
