A amphiphilic block copolymer composed of conventional monomethoxy (polyethylene glycol)-poly (d,l-lactide-co-glycolide)-poly (l-lysine) (mPEG-PLGA-b-PLL) was synthesized. The chemical structure of this copolymer and its precursors was confirmed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), (1)H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance ((1)H NMR) and Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC). The copolymer wa...

methoxy polyethylene glycol modified magnetite nanoparticles (pegmns) were synthesized and were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (sem), vibrating sample magnetometer (vsm), and x-ray diffraction (xrd) . the adsorption of diazinon onto (pegmns) was investigated by uv spectrophotometry at 236 nm, through batch experiments. the effects of adsorbent dosage, solution ph, contact time, s...

Zinc phthalocyanine labelled polyethylene glycol was prepared to track and monitor the in vivo fate of polyethylene glycol. The chemical structures were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopy. Their light stability and fluorescence quantum yield were evaluated by UV-Visible and fluorescence spectroscopy methods. The interaction of zinc phthalocyanine labelled poly...

This study presents detection of free polyethylene glycol (PEG) and conjugated PEG in western blot assay using anti-PEG rabbit monoclonals specific to methoxy group of PEG. In a chromogenic western blot assay, detection limit (DL) for free and PEGylated protein was 2.5 μg and 0.5 μg, respectively. Using chemiluminescence substrate, DL of PEGylated granulocyte colony stimulating factor (GCSF) wa...

Background: Pegylated Interferon Alpha-2b is synthesized via the use of PEG (polyethylene glycol). It formulated attaching a 12kDa mono methoxy polyethylene glycol moiety to recombinant human protein. acts binding (JAK/STAT) Janus kinase signal transducer and activator transcription interferon receptor. The /Virafin binds (IFNAR1/2) alpha receptor 1 2. better known as Virafin has been approved ...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Epirubicin (EPI) once acted as a main agent for HCC chemotherapy. However, the dosage-dependent side effects seriously limit its application in clinic. The purpose of this study is to develop an effective nanocarrier to improve the efficacy and overcome the limitations of EPI. In this regard, the EP...

The safety of polyethylene glycol plus ascorbic acid has not been fully investigated in patients with renal insufficiency. High-dose ascorbic acid could induce hyperoxaluria, thereby causing tubule-interstitial nephritis and renal failure. This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of polyethylene glycol plus ascorbic acid in patients with chronic kidney disease.We retrospectively revi...

BACKGROUND In this paper, a series of amphiphilic triblock copolymers based on polyethylene glycol-poly ɛ-caprolactone-polyethylenimine (mPEG-PCL-g-PEI) were successfully synthesized, and their application for codelivery of chemotherapeutic drugs and DNA simultaneously was investigated. METHODS AND RESULTS These copolymers could self-assemble into micelles with positive charges. The size and ...
