聚丙二醇二缩水甘油醚-柠檬酸共聚酯增塑聚乳酸的研究

通过聚丙二醇二缩水甘油醚和聚丙二醇与柠檬酸反应分别制备了聚丙二醇二缩水甘油醚-柠檬酸共聚酯（PPGDECA）和聚丙二醇-柠檬酸共聚酯（PPGCA）,并对其结构进行了表征。进一步通过熔融共混制备了两者与聚乳酸（PLA）的共混物。结果表明,当PPGDECA质量分数低于10%时,其在基体内分散均匀;反之,则其在基体内的分散程度较差,力学性能下降。两种共聚酯对比研究结果表明：PPGDECA具有更高的增塑效率,共混物的强度和模量更高,同时在不同环境中的渗出率更小,其综合性能优于PPGCA。

Hydrophilic Absorbable Copolyester Exhibiting Zero-Order Drug Release

Purpose A novel absorbable hydrophilic copolyester developed in our laboratory, amorphous 40/60 poly(ethylene diglycolate-co-glycolide), exhibits outstanding physical properties. Films made from this material appear fully transparent, colorless, soft and slightly elastic, but relatively strong and durable materials so that they can be potentially used as stand-alone devices in various in-vivo medical applications. In this study, in-vitro drug release characteristics of this copolyester were examined. Methods High Performance Liquid Chromatography was used to generate release profiles on selected non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents, NSAIDs. In addition, dielectric relaxation spectroscopy, as well as mid- and near infrared spectroscopy, were used to study specific polymer chain interactions in water and buffer solution as a function of aging time at 37°C. Results This copolyester, compression molded into a film, exhibited nearly constant in-vitro release of various hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs. The release profile showed minimal or, in most cases, no burst effect. The effect was observed with the three NSAIDs that were tested as model compounds; however, this system may prove generally useful for other drug entities. In-vitro hydrolysis conducted at 37°C on this hydrophilic copolyester revealed an unusually long induction period (no hydrolysis for up to 6 days), followed by the relatively rapid hydrolysis. Data from dipole relaxation spectroscopy indicated that the water molecules do not structurally associate with the polymer chains in phosphate buffer during initial hydrolysis period. Conclusions The results suggest unique dynamics of water diffusion through the polymer matrix that may play a critical role in achieving controlled release properties. Furthermore, we suspect that the molecular interactions associated with this new synthetic absorbable material may find a critical utility in important medical applications.
