MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611024196 A) filed by Swami Vivekanand Subharti University, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, on Feb. 28, for 'temperature-responsive ophthalmic nanoemulsion for enhanced ocular retention and bioavailability.'
Inventor(s) include Mr. Prasanjit Paul; and Mr. Nishant Gaurav.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a temperature-responsive ophthalmic nanoemulsion that converts to a gel upon contact with ocular temperature, thereby enhancing retention and drug absorption. This system incorporates a lipophilic drug solubilized in an oil phase, stabilized by surfactants, and combined with thermosensitive polymers like Poloxamer 407. The formulation ensures easy instillation as a low-viscosity liquid, followed by immediate in-situ gelation to provide sustained drug release for several hours. This innovation offers improved ocular bioavailability, enhanced patient comfort, and greater commercial adaptability compared to traditional eye drops."
