Major University researcher secures patent for innovative drug process
Dattatreya Chaudhary, a research scholar from MGM University, Aurangabad, has achieved a milestone by securing a patent for his research on an 'Improved Process for the Preparation of Amorphous Eluxadoline.'The Government of India officially published this patent, marking a notable achievement in pharmaceutical chemistry research for the young scholar. Eluxadoline is an important medication used in managing gastrointestinal illnesses, specifically Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).advertisementThe drug works by acting as a mu-opioid receptor agonist, which helps in regulating bowel movements by slowing down intestinal activity.
This facilitates easier digestion and metabolism, making Chaudhary's research particularly impactful."This patent is not only a personal achievement, but also a reflection of the guidance, inspiration, and research culture offered by MGM University," stated Dattatreya Chaudhary with pride. Acknowledging the support he received, he added, "I am very thankful to my mentors, particularly Dr. Suryakant Sapkal and Dr. Suchita Gadekar, for their motivation during this entire process. This success energises me to keep breaking barriers in pharmaceutical chemistry."His mentors, Dr Suryakant Sapkal, Head of the Chemistry Department, and Dr Suchita Gadekar, provided crucial academic supervision and technical assistance throughout the achievement has been warmly received by the university Ankushrao Kadam, Vice Chancellor Professor Dr Vilas Sapkal, Registrar Dr Ashish Gadekar, and other senior faculty members have extended their congratulations and best wishes to Dattatreya."Dattatreya's achievement is a reflection of the spirit of innovation and academic excellence that MGM University aims to foster," remarked Professor Dr. Vilas emphasised that receiving a patent as a student is a challenging feat, underscoring the importance of proper mentorship and support in achieving such university's robust research culture, as illustrated by Chaudhary's accomplishment, continues to drive its mission of fostering academic excellence and innovation.
