Do bioresorbable polyesters have antimicrobial properties?
Biodegradable and bioresorbable polyesters (BBPEs) are a widespread class of aliphatic polymers with a plethora of applications in the medical field. Some reports speculate that these polymers have intrinsic antibacterial activity as a consequence of their acidic degradation by-products. The release of organic acids as a result of the hydrolytic degradation of BBPEs in vivo and the resulting pH...
متن کاملDo antiangiogenic protein fragments have amyloid properties?
Tumor growth requires proteolytic activity. As a consequence, protein breakdown products are present in the circulation of patients with cancer. Within the past decade a large number of proteolytic fragments have been identified that inhibit angiogenesis and tumor growth. The mechanism of action of these inhibitors is still poorly understood. We recently found that the effects of the angiogenes...
متن کاملDegradation mechanisms of bioresorbable polyesters. Part 2. Effects of initial molecular weight and residual monomer.
This paper presents an understanding of how initial molecular weight and initial monomer fraction affect the degradation of bioresorbable polymers in terms of the underlying hydrolysis mechanisms. A mathematical model was used to analyse the effects of initial molecular weight for various hydrolysis mechanisms including noncatalytic random scission, autocatalytic random scission, noncatalytic e...
متن کاملDegradation mechanisms of bioresorbable polyesters. Part 1. Effects of random scission, end scission and autocatalysis.
A mathematical model was developed to relate the degradation trend of bioresorbable polymers to different underlying hydrolysis mechanisms, including noncatalytic random scission, autocatalytic random scission, noncatalytic end scission or autocatalytic end scission. The effect of each mechanism on molecular weight degradation and potential mass loss was analysed. A simple scheme was developed ...
متن کاملAliphatic polyesters: great degradable polymers that cannot do everything.
Nowadays the open and the patent literatures propose a large number of polymers whose main chains can be degraded usefully. Among these degradable polymers, aliphatic polyester-based polymeric structures are receiving special attention because they are all more or less sensitive to hydrolytic degradation, a feature of interest when compared with the fact that living systems function in aqueous ...
