Polymeric Microparticles as Alternative Carriers for Antidiabetic Glibenclamide Drug

Polymeric worm micelles as nano-carriers for drug delivery.

Nanoscale carriers of active compounds, especially drugs, need not be spherical in shape. Worm micelles as blends of degradable polylactic acid (PLA) and inert block copolymer amphiphiles were prepared for controlled release and initial study of carrier transport through nano-porous media. The loading capacity of a typical hydrophobic drug, Triamterene, and the release of hydrophobic dyes were ...

Polymeric Nanogels as Gene Carriers

Fabrication of polymeric microparticles for drug delivery by soft lithography.

Soft lithographic techniques were used to fabricate polymeric microparticles for drug delivery applications. The microparticles were made of thermoplastics and thermosets from different types of precursors including reactive resin and polymer solutions in organic solvents or water. The microparticles produced using these methods were made of widely used polymers for drug delivery with highly un...
