A hydrogel-based enzyme-loaded polymersome reactor.
In this study we report the immobilization of enzyme-containing polymersomes into a macromolecular hydrogel. Whereas free enzyme shows progressive leakage from the hydrogel in a period of days, leakage of the polymersome-protected enzyme is virtually absent. The preparation of the hydrogel occurs under mild conditions and does not inhibit the activity of the encapsulated enzymes nor does it aff...
متن کاملFluorescence lifetime-based sensing of polymersome leakage.
Assays to analyze the degradation, lysis and leakage of vesicles are commonly utilized in biology and physical chemistry. Here we show the fluorescence lifetime-based sensing of the leakage of stimuli responsive PEG114-b-PLA167 block copolymer vesicles. The time-resolved technique differentiates between the fluorophore molecules in the solvated state at high concentrations, and in the wall mate...
متن کاملA New Topical Fluconazole Microsponge Loaded Hydrogel: Preparation and Characterization
Invasive fungal infections can be devastating, especially in immunocompromized patients. Oral administration of fluconazole (FLZ) often produces gastric irritation, heart-burn, vomiting and sometimes patient can develop ulceration resulting in a less patient compliance with long term therapy. The aim of the present study was to formulate topical microsponge-based delivery system containing FLZ ...
متن کاملPreparation and Characterization of a Cotton-Based Nanocomposite Hydrogel
In this work, hydrogel nanocomposites were synthesized by solution polymerization of acrylic acid (AA) and itaconic acid (IA) in the presence of cotton fabric. Ammonium persulfate (APS) was used as the polymerization initiator in the presence of a crosslinker, methylene bisacrylamide (MBA). Insertion of Ag followed by reduction of Ag+ cations results in a hydrogel nanocomposite. The ...
متن کاملKilling malignant melanoma cells with protoporphyrin IX-loaded polymersome-mediated photodynamic therapy and cold atmospheric plasma
Traditional cancer treatments contain several limitations such as incomplete ablation and multidrug resistance. It is known that photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an effective treatment for several tumor types especially melanoma cells. During the PDT process, protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), an effective photosensitizer, can selectively kill cancer cells by activating a special light source. When tumor c...
