Abstract: | Poly(1,3-bis-(p-carboxyphenoxy propane)-co-(sebacic anhydride) (P(CPP-SA)) have the anhydride bonds in copolymer backbone,
which are available for degradation on the base of passive hydrolysis. This chemical structure made it degraded within a short
time in linear degradation rate. For this property, polyanhydrides are one of the most suitable biodegradable polymers employed
as drug carriers. This paper aimed at researching the erosion and degradation of P(CPP-SA) microspheres with CPP/SA monomer
ratios of 20:80, 35:65 and 50:50. In vitro protein release from the microspheres was also investigated in this paper. Human
serum albumin (HSA) was used as the model protein. In this research, the microspheres degradation and drug release rate from
microspheres can be adjusted by altering the CPP/SA ratios of P(CPP-SA). The features of surface erosion were observed in
SEM. The structural integrity of HSA extracted from microspheres was detected by gel permeation chromatography, compared with
native HSA. The results showed HSA remained its molecule weight after encapsulated. |
