Oral Nanomicelle‐Mediated Sequential Butyrate Production in the Intestine for Ulcerative Colitis and Immunosuppression Treatment
ABSTRACT Butyrate (BA) is essential for intestinal health, but its intestinal therapeutic applications are hindered by its malodorous nature, premature gastric absorption, and rapid intestinal metabolism. To address these challenges, an inodorous macromolecule β‐glucan‐BA (GLU‐BA) is synthesized via one‐step esterification, allowing for BA production in the intestine with burst yet gradual dynamics. After oral administration, GLU‐BA self‐assembles into nanomicelles, preventing premature gastric absorption. Upon rea …
