Alabama Patent of the Month – August 2025
A new drug delivery technology could change how medications work in the body. Serina Therapeutics (AL) Inc. has received a patent for a method that offers greater control over a drug’s release. This innovation could lead to more effective and safer treatments for a wide range of diseases. The company’s U.S. Patent No. 12383626, titled ‘Polyoxazoline-drug conjugates with novel pharmacokinetic properties’, is a significant step forward in drug delivery systems.
A Breakthrough in Drug Delivery
The patent describes a platform that uses a polymer called Polyoxazoline (POZ) to carry drugs. This new system allows for precise control over how quickly a drug is released into the bloodstream. In the past, controlling drug release has been a major challenge in pharmaceutical development. Serina Therapeutics’ technology addresses this problem by allowing scientists to adjust the release rate to match the needs of the patient.
Potential for Better Treatments
This breakthrough has the potential to improve treatments for many conditions. It could mean fewer side effects, as the drug is released more steadily. It could also mean that patients need to take their medication less often. The technology is particularly promising for neurological diseases and pain management, where a consistent drug level is crucial for success.

What is the R&D Tax Credit?
The Research & Experimentation Tax Credit (or R&D Tax Credit), is a general business tax credit under Internal Revenue Code section 41 for companies that incur research and development (R&D) costs in the United States. The credits are a tax incentive for performing qualified research in the United States, resulting in a credit to a tax return. For the first three years of R&D claims, 6% of the total qualified research expenses (QRE) form the gross credit. In the 4th year of claims and beyond, a base amount is calculated, and an adjusted expense line is multiplied times 14%. Click here to learn more.
