Poly(D, L-lactide-co-glycolide)/Poly(ethylenimine) Blend Matrix System for pH Sensitive Drug Delivery
نویسندگان
چکیده
Poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) and poly(ethylenimine) (PEI) were blended and found to form a homogeneous pH sensitive matrix for drug release. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) studies of the PLGA/PEI blends showed a single glass transition temperature at all compositions. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) demonstrated that the PLGA carbonyl peak at 1760 cm 1 shifted to 1666 cm 1 as a result of amide bond formation between the two polymers. This was confirmed by C nuclear magnetic resonance studies. A PLGA/PEI matrix of 90/10 weight ratio was chosen for evaluation for controlled drug release. Both hydrophobic -lapachone and hydrophilic rhodamine B showed pH dependent release profiles with faster release kinetics at lower pH values. The observed pH sensitive drug release was mainly attributed to two factors, pH dependent swelling and protonation of the PEIPLGA matrix. These results demonstrate utility of a PLGA/ PEI matrix and its potential application in pH responsive drug delivery. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 100:

Biodegradable fibers of poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) and poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) that encapsulated a water-soluble drug were created by a patented technique consisting of wet-spinning a water-in-oil emulsion. These fibers are 2.4% by mass drug, which is slowly released, making these fibers potential candidates for implantation as drug delivery devices and/or tissue-engineering subst...

This study proposes a new concept of pH-sensitive poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanoparticle composite microcapsules for oral delivery of insulin. Firstly, insulin-sodium oleate complex was prepared by the hydrophobic ion pairing method and then encapsulated into PLGA nanoparticles by the emulsion solvent diffusion method. In order to reduce the burst release of insulin from PLGA nanopartic...
