Poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐co‐3‐hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBHHx) copolymeric microparticles (MPs) and nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by the double‐emulsion solvent‐evaporation technique. 5‐Fluorouracil (5‐Fu), an anticancer drug, was entrapped in PHBHHx NPs and MPs. A variety of parameters, including the species and concentration of different surfactants, power and time of ultrasonication for particle dispersion, and organic/aqueous solution ratio, that affected the production of the 5‐Fu‐loaded PHBHHx NP and MP particles and the release of 5‐Fu were studied. The results show that the prepared NPs and MPs were spherical in shape and about 160 nm and 3 μm in size, respectively, when cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide was used as the emulsifier. The drug‐loading content (DLC) varied from 3.53 to 8.03% for 5‐Fu‐loaded NPs and from 4.83 to 18.87% for 5‐Fu‐loaded MPs and depended on the different initial feeding amounts of 5‐Fu. The encapsulation efficiency decreased with increasing DLC. The in vitro drug‐release characteristics appeared to have two phases with an initial burst effect occurring within the first 8 h; this was more obvious for the particles with low DLCs. The NPs with high DLC (8.03%) had the slowest release rate, 49.6% of 5‐Fu within 24 h. Therefore, PHBHHx copolymeric NPs and MPs can possibly be applied as drug‐delivery carrier materials in the future. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2010 相似文献

In this work, biocompatible hydrogel matrices for wound‐dressing materials and controlled drug‐release systems were prepared from poly[hydroxyethyl methacrylate‐co‐poly(ethylene glycol)–methacrylate] [p(HEMA‐co‐PEG–MA] films via UV‐initiated photopolymerization. The characterization of the hydrogels was conducted with swelling experiments, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (differential scanning calorimetry), and contact‐angle studies. The water absorbency of the hydrogel films significantly changed with the change of the medium pH from 4.0 to 7.4. The thermal stability of the copolymer was lowered by an increase in the ratio of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) to methacrylate (MA) in the film structure. Contact‐angle measurements on the surface of the p(HEMA‐co‐PEG–MA) films demonstrated that the copolymer gave rise to a significant hydrophilic surface in comparison with the homopolymer of 2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA). The blood protein adsorption was significantly reduced on the surface of the copolymer hydrogels in comparison with the control homopolymer of HEMA. Model antibiotic (i.e., minocycline) release experiments were performed in physiological buffer saline solutions with a continuous flow release system. The amount of minocycline release was shown to be dependent on the HEMA/PEG–MA ratio. The hydrogels have good antifouling properties and therefore are suitable candidates for wound dressing and other tissue engineering applications. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

5‐Fluorouracil (5‐Fu) loaded poly(glycolide‐co‐lactide‐co‐caprolactone) (PGLC) nanoparticles were prepared by modified spontaneous emulsification solvent diffusion method (modified‐SESD method) and characterized by dynamic light scattering, scanning electron microscopy and 1H NMR determination. It was found that the obtained nanoparticles showed near spherical shape and was controllable with the radius range of 30–100 nm. Compared with the nanoparticles prepared by polylactide and poly (lactide‐co‐glycolide) (PLGA) under the similar preparation condition, yield of PGLC nanoparticles was the highest, which reached to about 100%. On the other hand, drug entrapment efficiency of PGLC nanoparticles was also higher than that of PLGA and PLLA nanoparticles. 5‐Fu release behavior of PGLC nanoparticles in vitro showed that 5‐Fu release of PGLC nanoparticles showed a near zero‐order release profile, and 5‐Fu release rate of PGLC nanoparticles was faster than that of PLLA and PLGA nanoparticles. According to degradation behavior of PGLC nanoparticles, it could be proposed that the kinetic of degradation controlled release played an important role in the release process of PGLC nanoparticles. It revealed that the PGLC nanoparticles could be a promising drug carrier. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2007 相似文献

L ‐Lactic acid (LA) was copolymerized with succinic acid (SA) and 1,4‐butenediol (1,4‐BED) in bulk state with titanium(IV) butoxide as a catalyst to produce poly(LA‐co‐SA‐co‐1,4‐BED) (PLASBED). Poly(L ‐lactic acid) (PLLA) homopolymer obtained from a direct condensation polymerization of LA had weight average molecular weight (Mw) less than 4.1 × 104 and was too brittle to prepare specimens for the tensile test. Addition of SA and 1,4‐BED to LA produced PLASB with Mw as high as 1.4 × 105 and exhibited tensile properties comparable to a commercially available high‐molecular‐weight PLLA. Chain extension by intermolecular linking reaction through the unsaturated 1,4‐BED units in PLASBED with benzoyl peroxide further increased the molecular weight and made PLASBED more ductile and flexible to show elongation at break as high as 450%. Biodegradability of PLASBED measured by the modified Sturm test was nearly independent of the 1,4‐BED content. Gel formation during the chain extension did not exert any significant influence on the biodegradability either. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 95: 1116–1121, 2005 相似文献

All‐trans‐retinoic acid (RA) was chemically conjugated to biodegradable poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL10; number‐average Mw ≈ 1250) via an ester linkage. The conjugation was carried out using N,N‐dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and 4‐dimethyl aminopyridine as a coupling agent. The molar ratio of the drug to the polymer was 1.11 as determined by 1H‐NMR analysis. DSC and WAXD results showed that the formation of crystalline structures of RA was effectively suppressed by conjugation with PCL. The RA–PCL conjugates were formulated into nanoparticles by a spontaneous phase‐inversion technique. Morphological characteristics of the resultant nanoparticles and drug‐loading efficiencies were compared with those of free RA‐loaded nanoparticles. The drug‐loading efficiency of RA–PCL conjugates was almost 100%, while that of free RA was only ~12%. The majority of unconjugated RA was found to form undesirable free‐drug crystals out of nanoparticles, as observed by TEM analysis. This study demonstrates that the conjugation approach of RA to PCL can be an effective means to immobilize and encapsulate RA within nanoparticles for pharmaceutical applications. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Blends of poly(carprolactone)-poly(ethylene glycol) block polymer (PCE) with low-density polyethylene (LDPE) were prepared by extrusion followed by compression molding into thin film specimens. The morphology, thermal properties, degradation, and mechanical behavior of the blends were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), water immersion, static tensile testing, and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The LDPE/PCE blends were immiscible for all chemical compositions. A LDPE/PCE (75/25 wt%) blend exhibited small reductions in weight and tensile strength after immersion in a buffer solution (pH = 5.0) at 50°C for extended periods of time. However, grafting maleic anhydride onto the LDPE/PCE blends improved the compatibility between the LDPE and PCE phases. Consequently, a 75/25 wt% blend of maleated LDPE/PCE exhibited significant losses in weight and tensile strength after immersion in the buffer solution. For comparison, blends of poly(caprolactone) (PCL) with LDPE were fabricated by similar techniques. The effect of compatibilizer on the degradation of LDPE/PCE and LDPE/PCL is discussed. 相似文献

The condensation reaction product of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and a hydroxyl‐terminated four‐armed poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) was studied by size‐exclusion chromatography, DSC, and NMR. The use of both L ‐lactic acid (LLA) and rac‐lactic acid (rac‐LA) was studied and the use of two different catalysts, stannous 2‐ethylhexanoate [Sn(Oct)2] and ferrous acetate [Fe(OAc)2], was also investigated. The thermal stability and adhesive properties were also measured for the different formulations. The characterization results suggested the formation of a blend of PLA and a block‐copolyester of PLA and PCL. The results further indicated partial miscibility in the amorphous phase of the blend showing only one glass‐transition temperature in most cases, although no randomized structures could be detected in the block‐copolymers. The polymerization in the Fe(OAc)2‐catalyzed experiments proceeded slower than in the Sn(Oct)2‐catalyzed experiments. The discoloring of the polymer was minor when Fe(OAc)2 was used as catalyst, but significant when Sn(Oct)2 was used. The ferrous catalyst also caused a slower thermal degradation. Differences in the morphology and in the adhesive properties could be related to the stereochemistry of the poly(lactic acid). © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 91: 196–204, 2004 相似文献

Copolymers of ε‐caprolactone and L ‐lactide (PCLLA) with different monomer ratio were synthesized by ring opening polymerization, and drug‐loaded nanoparticles of poly‐ε‐caprolactone (PCL), poly‐L ‐lactide (PLLA), and their copolymers were prepared by precipitation method, respectively. The results of differential scanning calorimetry and X‐ray diffraction indicated that the copolymerization of PCLLA decreased the crystallinity of the polymers, and the results of transmission electron micrograph and laser light scattering (LLS) revealed that the prepared nanoparticles had a spherical shape, and the size of PCLLA nanoparticles (∼ 85 nm) was smaller than that of the PCL and PLLA nanoparticles. The experiment of in vitro drug release showed that the drug release rate from PCLLA nanoparticles was slower than that from PCL and PLLA nanoparticles, and the release profile of PCL6/LA4 nanoparticles appeared to follow zero order kinetics. These results suggested that the polymer composition made a great influence on the nanoparticle size and drug release behavior. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 75: 874–882, 2000 相似文献

In this article, we present the drug‐release rate, water uptake, water permeability, morphology, and mechanical properties of a series of active wound dressing nanofibrous mats prepared via an electrospinning process of poly(lactic acid) (PLA), poly(?‐caprolactone) (PCL), and their (50/50) blends loaded with different doses of tetracycline hydrochloride antibiotic. The performance of these active wound dressings in terms of a sustained and suitable drug‐release rate, adequate water uptake and water permeability, and antibacterial activities were compared with those of a commercial wound dressing (Comfeel Plus). The results show that the dressings made from PCL and PLA/PCL blends showed better performance compared with the commercial wound dressing sample as far as these properties were concerned. The improved performance could be explained on the basis of the nanofibrous structure of the mats and the hydrophilicity of PCL and PLA. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2012 相似文献

A series of poly(?‐caprolactone)–poly(ethylene glycol) (PCL‐PEG) and poly(?‐caprolactone/glycolide)–poly(ethylene glycol) [P(CL/GA)‐PEG] diblock copolymers were prepared by ring‐opening polymerization of ?‐caprolactone or a mixture of ?‐caprolactone and glycolide using monomethoxy PEG (mPEG) as macroinitiator and Sn(Oct)2 as catalyst. The resulting copolymers were characterized using 1H‐NMR, gel permeation chromatography, differential scanning calorimetry, and wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction. Copolymer micelles were prepared using the nanoprecipitation method. The morphology of the micelles was spherical or worm‐like as revealed by transmission electron microscopy, depending on the copolymer composition and the length of the hydrophobic block. Introduction of the glycolide component, even in small amounts (CL/GA = 10), disrupted the chain structure and led to the formation of spherical micelles. Interestingly, the micelle size decreased with the encapsulation of paclitaxel. Micelles prepared from mPEG5000‐derived copolymers exhibited better drug loading properties and slower drug release than those from mPEG2000‐derived copolymers. Drug release was faster for copolymers with shorter PCL blocks than for those with longer PCL chains. The introduction of glycolide moieties enhanced drug release, but the overall release rate did not exceed 10% in 30 days. In contrast, drug release was enhanced in acidic media. Therefore, these bioresorbable micelles and especially P(CL/GA)‐PEG micelles with excellent stability, high drug loading content, and prolonged drug release could be promising for applications as drug carriers. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The effect of certain preparative variables, such as the composition of the feeds, the reaction time, catalyst concentration, degrees Centigrade (°C), and the reaction temperature on the properties of prepared polymer poly(lactic acid–glycolic acid‐4‐hydroxyproline) (PLGA‐Hpr), was investigated via direct melt polymerization with stannous chloride as a catalyst activated by a proton acid. The new polymer had pendant amine functional groups along the polymer backbone chain. The results with regard to the inherent viscosity and yield of PLGA‐Hpr are discussed in relation to a recently proposed polymerization mechanism. The content of lactic acid, glycolic acid, and 4‐hydroxyproline (Hpr) in the copolymer was found to affect the surface and bulk hydrophilicity of various PLGA‐Hpr copolymers. The inherent viscosity of the copolymer and the yield of the reaction depended on the reaction temperature and varied with the reaction time. The higher the 4‐hydroxyproline content of the feedzaq, the lower the inherent viscosity of the copolymer and the yield of the reaction. When the glycolic acid content was more than 70% or the content of HPr was more than 10%, the polymer changed from hemicrystalline to amorphous. The in vitro degradation rate of the PLGA‐HPr copolymers is dependent on the feed ratios of lactic acid and glycolic acid in the polymer chain. Lactic acid‐rich polymers are more hydrophobic; subsequently they degrade more slowly. The structure of this polymer was verified by infrared (IR) spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H‐NMR) spectroscopy, X‐ray diffractometry (XRD), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)‐b‐poly(L ‐lactic acid) (MPELLA) was prepared by the melt polycondensation of methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) and L ‐lactic acid. The structure and properties of MPELLA were characterized by IR, 1H‐NMR, differential scanning calorimetry, and wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction. To estimate its feasibility as a vehicle for paclitaxel, MPELLA nanoparticles were prepared by a self‐emulsification/solvent evaporation method. The paclitaxel‐loaded nanoparticles (PMTs) showed a spherical morphology with an inner core and an outer shell. The size, size distribution, and loading capacity of PMTs were also measured. The release kinetics of paclitaxel from PMTs in vitro was studied. The results show that paclitaxel can be effectively incorporated into MPELLA nanoparticles, which provide a delivery system for paclitaxel and other hydrophobic or toxic compounds. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Linear (1‐arm) and star‐shaped (4‐, 6‐, and 16‐arm) poly(D,L ‐lactide)s (PDLLs) were synthesized by ring‐opening polymerization in bulk of D,L ‐lactide monomer. Hydroxyl end‐group compounds and stannous octoate were used as the initiator and catalyst, respectively. The intrinsic viscosity and glass transition temperature (Tg) of the PDLLs decreased steadily as the branch arm number increased for similar molecular weights. However, the intrinsic viscosity and Tg values of the linear PDLL were less than the star‐shaped PDLL for similar each PDLL arm lengths. Ibuprofen, a poorly water soluble model drug was entrapped in the PDLL microspheres. All drug‐loaded PDLL microspheres were prepared by the oil‐in‐water emulsion solvent evaporation method, were spherical in shape, and had a smooth surface with fine dispersibility. In vitro drug release behaviors indicated that the drug release from the microspheres with higher branch arm number was faster than from those with lower branch arm number. Moreover, the drug release from the star‐shaped PDLL microspheres was slower than that of the linear PDLL microspheres for similar PDLL arm lengths. The drug release behavior could be adjusted through both the branch arm number and arm length of PDLL. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2012 相似文献

Random copolyester namely, poly(ethylene terephthalate‐co‐sebacate) (PETS), with relatively lower molecular weight was first synthesized, and then it was used as a macromonomer to initiate ring‐opening polymerization of l ‐lactide. 1H NMR quantified composition and structure of triblock copolyesters [poly(l ‐lactic acid)‐b‐poly(ethylene terephthalate‐co‐sebacate)‐b‐poly(l ‐lactic acid)] (PLLA‐PETS‐PLLA). Molecular weights of copolyesters were also estimated from NMR spectra, and confirmed by GPC. Copolyesters exhibited different solubilities according to the actual content of PLLA units in the main chain. Copolymerization effected melting behaviors significantly because of the incorporation of PETS and PLLA blocks. Crystalline morphology showed a special pattern for specimen with certain composition. It was obvious that copolyesters with more content of aromatic units of PET exhibited increased values in both of stress and modulus in tensile test. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Hydroxyl terminated poly(fumaric acid‐co‐diethylene glycol), poly(FA‐co‐DEG) was prepared by melt polycondensation. The resultant unsaturated aliphatic polyester was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, hydroxyl value, acid value, and intrinsic viscosity. Its enzymatic degradation and crosslinking behavior as well as the effect of crosslinking degree on enzymatic degradation were also investigated. The crosslinking degree and reduction of carbon–carbon double bonds revealed excellent self‐crosslinking nature of poly(FA‐co‐DEG) at high temperature. The results of enzymatic degradation showed that poly(FA‐co‐DEG) has excellent biodegradability and that the biodegradation can be controlled by the crosslinking degree. Polyurethane was prepared by the reaction of poly(FA‐co‐DEG), 2,4‐toluene diisocyanate (TDI), and 1,4‐butanediol (BD). It was found that the biodegradation of the obtained polyurethane was slower than that of the original unsaturated aliphatic polyester poly(FA‐co‐DEG). The peeling strength of the polyurethane was very high, supporting better adhesion property with enhanced crosslinking. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2011 相似文献

The aim of this work was to determine the influence of protein content on the physicochemical properties of protein‐loaded poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL). To achieve this goal, bovine serum albumin (BSA), an example of protein was encapsulated within PCL matrix by emulsion solvent evaporation method. The polymer matrix's rheological properties, hydrophobicity, molecular weight (MW), and thermal behavior were determined. Particle characteristics such as BSA loading, surface area, mean size, morphology, and in vitro release profile were also assessed. After encapsulation process, the polymer crystallinity and crystallization point were markedly increased suggesting that a nucleation phenomenon occurred. The increase in PCL MW (from 46. 7 to 179.4 kDa) led to an increase of both particle size and encapsulation efficiency that was consistent with rheological data. The increase of protein content from 1.6 to 11.5% (w/w) influenced considerably particle's specific surface area and decreased the rate of protein release. Together, these results suggest that beside the nature of the carrier polymer, protein content may have implication on their controlled release, the coating of particle by protein, and on the carrier polymer chemistry and degradation. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Poly(lactic acid)–poly(ethylene glycol)–poly(lactic acid) (PLA‐PEG‐PLA)/SiO2 hybrid material is prepared by sol–gel method using tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and PLA‐PEG‐PLA as raw material. From Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectra, the hydroxyl groups of the silica sol derived from partially hydrolysis of TEOS and the unhydrolyzed ethoxy groups of TEOS can react with PLA‐PEG‐PLA. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) curves imply that the glass transition temperature (Tg) of PLA‐PEG‐PLA/SiO2 hybrid material is higher than that of PLA‐PEG‐PLA and increases with the increase of silica content. X‐ray diffraction (XRD) analysis results show that PLA‐PEG‐PLA and PLA‐PEG‐PLA/SiO2 hybrid material are both amorphous. Field scanning electron microscope (FSEM) photographs show that when PLA‐PEG‐PLA/SiO2 hybrid material has been degraded for 12 weeks in normal saline at 37°C, a three‐dimensional porous scaffold is obtained, which is available for cell growth and metabolism. Moreover, the hydroxyl (? OH) groups on SiO2 of PLA‐PEG‐PLA/SiO2 hybrid material could buffer the acidity resulted from the degradation of PLA, which is beneficial to proliferation of cell in tissue repairing. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the in vitro characteristics of poly(lactic acid‐co‐lysine) arginine–glycine–aspartic acid (PLA–PLL–RGD) nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with mitoxantrone. PLA–PLL–RGD NPs with a particle size of 200 nm were prepared with a modified emulsification solvent‐diffusion method. The encapsulation efficiency of the mitoxantrone‐loaded NPs was 85%. In vitro release experiments showed that the release of the drug was prolonged and sustained, and approximately 60.2% of the mitoxantrone was released in the first week. The released drug was integrated to achieve desired drug‐release profiles and still possessed bioactivity according to a 3‐(4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyl‐2h‐tetrazolium bromide assay, which indicated that mitoxantrone‐loaded NPs were more cytotoxic against Michigan Cancer Foundation 7 (MCF‐7) breast cancer cells than mitoxantrone. Furthermore, the association processes of NPs with MCF‐7 cells, including binding and effective internalization, were investigated in vitro. The cellular uptake of the NPs was qualitatively studied with confocal laser scanning microscopy and was confirmed with flow cytometry analysis. These experimental results indicated that PLA–PLL–RGD NPs could be used as drug carriers for mitoxantrone. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2011 相似文献

Brush copolymers composed of methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (MPEG) and poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) have been synthesized by the ring‐opening polymerization of ε‐caprolactone initiated by hydroxyl function of thermally esterified MPEG‐citrate in presence of stannous octoate. Citric acid (CA) acts as spacer between brush‐like MPEG and the long chain of PCL. Existence of hydrophobic domains as cores of the micelles were characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy and further confirmed with fluorescence technique using pyrene as a probe. Critical micelle concentration (CMC) of the synthesized copolymer decreased from 0.019 to 0.0031 mg/mL on increasing the fraction of PCL. Along with the physicochemical study, the brush copolymers were explored for the preparation of nanoparticles by nanoprecipitation technique. The morphology and geometry of micelles were investigated by using DLS, AFM, and TEM. Hydrodyanamic dimensions of micelles were around 118 and 178 nm with the core size of 8–10 nm, which further aggregated to form secondary micelle of 60–90 nm. Such assembled polymeric micelles with its flexible dendritic MPEG corona could hold a promise for the immobilization (encapsulation) of hydrophobic drugs and subsequently promote sustained release so that it can be a good vehicle for anti‐cancer drug deliverance. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) characterization of the statistical copolymers of this study showed that the poly(ε‐caprolactone‐co‐L‐lactide)s, with ε‐caprolactone (ε‐CL) molar contents ranging from 70 to 94% and ε‐CL average sequence length (lCL) between 2.20–9.52, and the poly(ε‐caprolactone‐co‐δ‐valerolactone)s, with 60 to 85% of ε‐CL and lCL between 2.65–6.08, present semi‐alternating (R→2) and random (R~1) distribution of sequences, respectively. These syntheses were carried out with the aim of reducing the crystallinity of poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL), needed to provide mechanical strength to the material but also responsible for its slow degradation rate. However, this was not achieved in the case of the ε‐caprolactone‐co‐δ‐valerolactone (ε‐CL‐co‐δ‐VAL). Non‐isothermal cooling treatments at different rates and isothermal crystallizations (at 5, 10, 21 and 37°C) were conducted by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and demonstrated that ε‐CL copolymers containing δ‐valerolactone (δ‐VAL) exhibited a larger crystallization capability than those of L‐lactide (L‐LA) and also arranged into crystalline structures over shorter times. The crystallization enthalpies of the ε‐CL‐co‐δ‐VAL copolymers during the cooling treatments and their heat of fusion (ΔHm) at the different isothermal temperatures were very large (i.e. ΔHc > 53 Jg?1) and in some cases, unrelated to the copolymer composition. In some compositions, such as the 60 : 40, Wide Angle X‐ray Scattering (WAXS) proved that that these two lactones undergo isomorphism and co‐crystallize in a single cell. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
