Thermo- and pH-responsive polymers in drug delivery.
Stimuli-responsive polymers show a sharp change in properties upon a small or modest change in environmental condition, e.g. temperature, light, salt concentration or pH. This behaviour can be utilised for the preparation of so-called 'smart' drug delivery systems, which mimic biological response behaviour to a certain extent. The possible environmental conditions to use for this purpose are li...
متن کاملInterfacial adsorption of pH-responsive polymers and nanoparticles.
Using dissipative particle dynamics (DPD), we model the interfacial adsorption of pH-responsive polyelectrolytes and polyelectrolyte-grafted nanoparticles (PNPs) at a planar water-oil interface. The electrostatic interactions in the presence of the dielectric discontinuity across the interface are modeled by exploiting the Groot method, which uses an iterative method to solve the Poisson equati...
متن کاملDe novo designed protein transduction domain mimics from simple synthetic polymers.
Protein transduction domains (PTDs) that readily transverse cellular membranes are of great interest and are attractive tools for the intracellular delivery of bioactive molecules. Learning to program synthetic polymers and oligomers with the appropriate chemical information to capture adequately the biological activity of proteins is critical to our improved understanding of how these natural ...
متن کاملA Novel Composite Membrane for pH Responsive Permeation
Objective(s) In this study, a kind of pH sensitive composite membrane was prepared and drug permeation through it was investigated in terms of pH. Rationale of this study originated from the fact that a pH change which may be a result of a disease state in the body can trigger drug release. Materials and Methods Here, a kind of pH sensitive composite membrane containing different nanoparticle ...
متن کاملEngineering a pH responsive pore forming protein
Listeriolysin O (LLO) is a cytolysin capable of forming pores in cholesterol-rich lipid membranes of host cells. It is conveniently suited for engineering a pH-governed responsiveness, due to a pH sensor identified in its structure that was shown before to affect its stability. Here we introduced a new level of control of its hemolytic activity by making a variant with hemolytic activity that w...
