Targeted binding of PLA microparticles with lipid-PEG-tethered ligands.
Solid core polymeric particles are an attractive delivery vehicle as they can efficiently encapsulate drugs of different physical and chemical characteristics. However, the effective targeting of such particles for therapeutic purposes has been somewhat elusive. Here, we report novel polymeric particles comprised of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) with incorporated poly(ethylene glycol)-lipids (PEG-lip...
متن کاملTargeted binding of PEG-lipid modified polymer ultrasound contrast agents with tiered surface architecture.
In order for site-directed polymer ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) to provide acoustic enhancement at disease sites to distinguish normal tissue from diseased tissue, the surface of these agents must be functionalized with mixtures of grafted polymers. Here a combination of longer liganded polyethylene glycol (PEG)-lipids and shorter unliganded PEG-lipids were introduced into the oil phase of...
متن کاملEffect of different mass ratio of PLA: PEG segments in PLA-PEG-PLA copolymers on the physicochemical characterization and DNA release profile
Background: Adapting controlled release technologies to the delivery of DNA has the great potential to overcome extracellular barriers that limit gene delivery. This study investigates the effect of different mass ratio of PLA: PEG in the various tri block poly (lactic acid)-poly (ethylene glycol) - Poly (lactic acid) copolymer (PLA-PEG-PLA) on the properties of the resulting nanoparticles. Me...
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 کاملSynthesis of protein-coated biocompatible methotrexate-loaded PLA-PEG-PLA nanoparticles for breast cancer treatment
Background: PLA-PEG-PLA triblock polymer nanoparticles are promising tools for targeted dug delivery. The main aim in designing polymeric nanoparticles for drug delivery is achieving a controlled and targeted release of a specific drug at the therapeutically optimal rate and choosing a suitable preparation method to encapsulate the drug efficiently, which depends mainly on the nature of the dru...
