Influence of network structure on the degradation of photo-cross-linked PLA-b-PEG-b-PLA hydrogels.
Triblock copolymers of functionalized poly(lactic acid)-b-poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(lactic acid) (PLA-b-PEG-b-PLA) have been widely investigated as precursors for fabricating resorbable polymeric drug delivery vehicles and tissue engineering scaffolds. Previous studies show degradation and erosion behavior of PLA-b-PEG-b-PLA hydrogels to rely on macromer chemistry as well as structural chara...
متن کاملSelf-assembly nanomicelles based on cationic mPEG-PLA-b-Polyarginine(R15) triblock copolymer for siRNA delivery.
Due to the absence of safe and effective carriers for in vivo delivery, the applications of small interference RNA (siRNA) in clinic for therapeutic purposes have been limited. In this study, a biodegradable amphiphilic tri-block copolymer (mPEG(2000)-PLA(3000)-b-R(15)) composed of monomethoxy poly(ethylene glycol), poly(d,l-lactide) and polyarginine was synthesized and further self-assembled t...
متن کاملMicroencapsulation of gentamicin in biodegradable PLA and/or PLA/PEG copolymer.
Biodegradable carriers containing gentamicin for local treatment of bone infection were developed. This paper describes the preparation and in vitro evaluation of these biodegradable implants. Poly-L-lactic acid (PLA) and poly-L-lactic acid:polyethylene glycol (PLA/PEG) disk implants containing gentamicin sulphate were obtained by compression of microspheres prepared by a double emulsion proces...
متن کاملAssessment of Insulin Stability Inside Diblock Copolymer PEG-PLA Microspheres
Insulin-loaded PEG2-PLA40 and PEG5-PLA20 microspheres containing 5% bovine insulin were manufactured using single emulsion and w/o/w multiple emulsion-solvent evaporation techniques. Microspheres were characterized for their insulin encapsulation efficiency and release characteristics in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at pH 7.4 and 37 ÂC. Moreover, the stability of the peptide during 18 days o...
متن کاملRecent advances in PEG–PLA block copolymer nanoparticles
Due to their small particle size and large and modifiable surface, nanoparticles have unique advantages compared with other drug carriers. As a research focus in recent years, polyethylene glycol-polylactic acid (PEG-PLA) block copolymer and its end-group derivative nanoparticles can enhance the drug loading of hydrophobic drugs, reduce the burst effect, avoid being engulfed by phagocytes, incr...
